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.

Answer:

Activating a glow stick is the example of a chemical change, as snapping one will cause a chemical reaction, causing the glow. All of the other options are physical changes because nothing new is formed. Hope this helps!

I need help with balancing equations I'm doing homework and idk what to do here can you give me the answers please lol
amm1812

It's pretty easy to balance equations! Basically you want to make sure that the number of each compound is equal on both sides of the arrow.

For example number one is

Fe + H2SO4 -> Fe2(SO4)3 + H2

A 3 in front of H2SO4 because there's a subscript of 3 on the right side.

Then a 3 in front of H2 because of the previous step.

Then add a 2 in front of Fe because of the 2 subscript in Fe2(SO4)3

Then add a 1 in front of Fe2(SO4)3 because you already have an equal number of each element.

<u>2</u>Fe + <u>3</u>H2SO4 -> <u>1</u>Fe2(SO4)3 + <u>3</u>H2

I hope this explanation helps! You should really do your homework because practice is everything when it comes to chemistry. You'll need to know how to do it for exams.

Answer is: both reactions are exothermic.
<span>
In exothermic reactions, heat is released and enthalpy of reaction is less than zero (as it show second chemical reaction).
According to Le Chatelier's principle when the reaction is exothermic heat is included as a product (as it show first chemical reaction).</span>

NNADVOKAT [17]

Answer:

(b) IE₂ of Ga >  IE₂ of Ge

Explanation:

Electronic configuration of Ga is [Ar] 3d¹⁰4s²4p¹

Electronic configuration of Ge is [Ar] 3d¹⁰4s²4p²

After 1st ionisation , Ga  becomes [Ar] 3d¹⁰4s² and becomes stable . Its

2 nd ionisation requires higher amount of ionisation energy. In case of Ge , there are 2 electrons in outermost orbital so it becomes stable after ionisation of 2 electrons.
