In an accident, a solution containing 2.5 kg of nitric acid was spilled. Two kilograms of Na2CO3 was quickly spread on the area

and CO2 was released by the reaction by the reaction. Was sufficient NA2CO3 used to neutralize all the acid?

First we must write a balanced chemical equation for this reaction

Na_2CO_3 _(_a_q_)+ 2HNO_3_(_a_q_) \implies 2NaNO_3_(_s_) + CO_2_(_g_) + H_2O_(_l_)

The mole ratio for the reaction between HNO_3 and Na_2CO_3 is 1:2. This means 1 moles of Na_2CO_3 will neutralize 2 moles HNO_3. Now we find the moles of each reactant based on the mass and molar mass.

2500g HNO_3 \times \frac{mol}{63.01g\ HNO_3} = 39.67 mol\ HNO_3

2000g\ Na_2CO_3 \times \frac{mol}{105.99g \ Na_2CO_3} = 18.87 mol\ Na_2CO_3

\frac{18.87 mol Na_2CO_3}{39.67\ HNO_3} = \frac{1 molNa_2CO_3}{2 mol HNO_3}

The Na_2CO_3 was enough to neutralize the acid because 18.87:39.67 is the same as 1:2 mol ratio.

Two iron balls of different mass are heated to 100°C and dropped in water. If the same amount of heat is lost by the two balls t
Kobotan [32]

Now we know that

Q = mc∆T

Where Q is y energy measured in Joules.

m is the mass measured in grams

c is the specific heat of the substance measured in joule per gram degree Celsius.

∆T is the change in temperature measured in degree Celsius.



Let Q1 be the specific heat of the lighter ball.

c1 be the specific heat of the lighter ball.

m1 be the mass of the lighter ball.

∆T1 be the change in the of the lighter ball.


Let Q2 be the specific heat of the heavier ball.

c2 be the specific heat of the heavier ball.

m2 be the mass of the heavierr ball.

∆T2 be the change in the of the heavier ball.


It has been given that the heat lost, that is Q is the same for both the balls of different mass.Which implies Q1= Q2

Specific heat(c) is the same for both the balls since both are made up of iron. c1=c2


Now heat lost by the lighter ball = heat lost by the heavier ball.

Q1= Q2

m1c1∆T1= m2c2∆T2

Since c1=c2

We get

m1/m2= ∆T2/∆T1

Thus we can say since m2>m1,∆T1> ∆T2.

Now initial temperature of both the balls are 100 degree Celsius.

∆T1 = Final temperature(T1 )-100.

∆T2= Final temperature ( T2)-100

Now since the ∆T1> ∆T2 as arrived from the above equation we can conclude that the final temperature of the ball 1 is greater than that of the ball 2. Since the ball 1 as per our assumption is the lighter ball,the final temperature of the ball which has lighter mass is greater than that of the one having a greater mass.

Wha do u do when u get in a fight wit yo best friend?

Talk to them and listen to each other. if they aren’t ready to talk, give them space. once both of you are ready, you can make up and forgive each other. don’t bother them by asking a lot of questions and forcing them to talk to you. and if they’re doing that, tell them you need time to think. just be sure to talk to them, listen, and understand. tell each other both sides of the stories. of course, different situations can require different solutions. so resolve it when it’s time :)
