When a person has excess stomach acid, he or she may ingest some sodium bicarbonate. The rationale for doing this is that the so

dium bicarbonate is:
a base and will neutralize the excess acid
an acid and will weaken the excess acid
neutral and will dilute the excess acid
It will make the person thirsty; they will drink water and dilute the excess acid.

Answer: Option (a) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Sodium bicarbonate has molecular formula as NaHCO_{3}. It is basic in nature as it dissociates to give sodium and bicarbonate ions.

When excess of acid is formed in the stomach then it means there is increase in the concentration of hydrogen ions. So, when sodium bicarbonate is ingested then it will neutralize the excess of acid formed in the stomach.

Thus, we can conclude that the rationale for doing this is that the sodium bicarbonate is a base and will neutralize the excess acid.

An aqueous solution containing 17.5 g of an unknown molecular (nonelectrolyte) compound in 100.0 g of water has a freezing point
Sonbull [250]

Answer:

molar mass = 180.833 g/mol

Explanation:

  • mass sln = mass solute + mass solvent

∴  solute: unknown molecular (nonelectrolyte)

∴ solvent: water

∴ mass solute = 17.5 g

∴ mass solvent =  100.0 g = 0.1 Kg

⇒ mass sln = 117.5 g

freezing point:

  • ΔTc = - Kc×m

∴ ΔTc = -1.8 °C

∴ Kc H2O = 1.86 °C.Kg/mol

∴ m: molality (mol solute/Kg solvent)

⇒ m = ( - 1.8 °C)/( - 1.86 °C.Kg/mol)

⇒ m = 0.9677 mol solute/Kg solvent

  • molar mass (Mw) [=] g/mol

∴ mol solute = ( m )×(Kg solvent)

⇒ mol solute = ( 0.9677 mol/Kg) × ( 0.100 Kg H2O )

⇒ mol solute = 0.09677 mol

⇒ Mw solute = ( 17.5 g ) / ( 0.09677 mol )

⇒ Mw solute = 180.833 g/mol

How do atoms form a new substance?
lubasha [3.4K]
By sharing electeons with each other
if they lose or gain electrons then they only form ions
they cannot lose neutrons as they are locked inside the nucleus

Will bromine react with sodium and why?
Archy [21]

<span><span>When you write down the electronic configuration of bromine and sodium, you get this

Na:
Br: </span></span>

<span><span />So here we the know the valence electrons for each;</span>

<span><span>Na:  (2e)
Br:  (7e, you don't count for the d orbitals)

Then, once you know this, you can deduce how many bonds each can do and you discover that bromine can do one bond since he has one electron missing in his p orbital, but that weirdly, since the s orbital of sodium is full and thus, should not make any bond.

However, it is possible for sodium to come in an excited state in wich he will have sent one of its electrons on an higher shell to have this valence configuration:</span></span>

<span><span /></span><span><span>

</span>where here now it has two lonely valence electrons, one on the s and the other on the p, so that it can do a total of two bonds.</span><span>That's why bromine and sodium can form </span>

(03.05 LC)
Ainat [17]

Answer:

The correct answer is 4

Explanation:

Boron trifluoride (BF₃) has a molecular geometry (as shown in the image in the question) referred to as trigonal planar; this is because each of the the fluorine atoms/molecules (bonded to the central boron atom) is placed in such a way that they form the three "end points"/"domains" of an equilateral triangle. Hence, the correct option is the last option.

Scientists observe that iron compounds are able to bind to nutrients in waterways experiencing eutrophication. Which change will
Anettt [7]

(1) Fewer microorganisms will grow on the surface of the lake if iron compounds are added to a lake with an overabundance of nutrients. Hence, option 1 is correct.

(2) Fracking means using water and chemicals at high pressure to open up fissures to access oil and gas resources. Hence, option 2 is correct.

<h3>What are microorganisms?</h3>

An organism that can be seen only through a microscope.

Iron is a natural capping agent which can enhance sediment P binding capacity, thus reducing P availability and shifting a lake from an algal to a macrophyte dominated state. Iron could, however, also impose toxic effects on the biota.

Fracking is the injection of a fluid at high pressure into an underground rock formation to open fissures and allow trapped gas or crude oil to flow through a pipe to a wellhead at the surface.

This technique is used in natural gas and petroleum production.

1) Fewer microorganisms will grow on the surface of the lake if iron compounds are added to a lake with an overabundance of nutrients. Hence, option 1 is correct.

(2) Fracking means using water and chemicals at high pressure to open up fissures to access oil and gas resources. Hence, option 2 is correct
