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

storchak [24]

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.

What is the mass percent of oxygen in sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3)?

Alenkasestr [34]

The answer is 57.14%.

First we need to calculate molar mass of NaHCO3. Molar mass is mass of 1 mole of a substance. It is the sum of relative atomic masses, which are masses of atoms of the elements.

Relative atomic mass of Na is 22.99 g
Relative atomic mass of H is 1 g
Relative atomic mass of C is 12.01 g
Relative atomic mass of O is 16 g.

Molar mass of NaHCO3 is:
22.99 g + 1 g + 12.01 g + 3 · 16 g = 84 g

Now, mass of oxygen in NaHCO3 is:
3 · 16 g = 48 g

mass percent of oxygen in NaHCO3:
48 g ÷ 84 g · 100% = 57.14%

Therefore, the mass percent of oxygen in sodium bicarbonate is 57.14%.

If a gas has a volume of 3.67 L and a pressure of 790 mm Hg, what will the pressure be if the volume is compressed to 2.12 L? Wh

oksian1 [2.3K]

If each gas sample has the same temperature and pressure, which has the greatest volume? Since hydrogen gas has the lowest molar mass of the set, 1 g will have the greatest number of moles and therefore the greatest volume. What is the Ideal Gas Law?

Which is the correct name for p2o5? phosphorus dioxide phosphorus pentoxide diphosphorus pentoxide diphosphorus hexaoxide

Elenna [48]

Correct option:

The correct name for $P_{2}O_{5}$ is diphosphorus pentoxide.

Why $P_{2}O_{5}$ is called diphosphorus pentoxide?

$P_{2}O_{5}$ is commonly known as diphosphorus pentoxide.

Phosphorus pentoxide has an intriguing property in that $P_{2}O_{5}$ is actually its empirical formula, whereas $P_{4}O_{10}$ is its actual molecular formula.

However, the name of the chemical was obtained from its empirical formula rather than from its molecular formula. The official name for this substance is diphosphorus pentoxide.

Oxygen-containing binary compounds have "oxide" as their "last name." Phosphorus is the "first name."

We list each atom's numbers below:

The di- and Penta- prefixes are used to indicate the presence of two and five oxygen atoms, respectively, in the molecule.
