Answer:

C₆H₅COOH Benzoic Acid

Explanation:

Here we are using the extraction method to separate  benzoic acid from naphtalene in the  ether solution  by reacting it with the base sodium bicarbonate to produce the salt sodium benzoate  ( naphtalene remains in the organic layer )  .

The sodium benzoate  is completely soluble in the aqueous layer being a salt, and  reacts with hydrochloric acid ( again an acid base reaction ) which precipitates the benzoic acid  since the it is insoluble in water hence  separating it.

How many moles would be equal to 22.4 g of CO2?
Rzqust [24]

Answer:

Number of moles = 0.51 mol

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of CO₂ = 22.4 g

Number of moles = ?

Solution:

Number of moles of CO₂:

Number of moles = mass/molar mass

Molar mass of CO₂ = 44 g/mol

by putting values,

Number of moles = 22.4 g/ 44 g/mol

Number of moles = 0.51 mol

ludmilkaskok [199]

Answer:

What make Boron Boron is that it has 5 protons, and will therefor have 5 electrons in the unionized state. While I was looking this up I learned that there are two stable isotopes, Boron 10 with five neutrons, and boron 11 with six. The more common is boron 11, which is 80.1% of naturally occuring boron.
