A tablet of one antacid contains citric acid, H3C6H5O7, and sodium hydrogen carbonate, NaHCO3. When the tablet dissolves in wate

r, bubbles of CO2 are produced. This reaction is represented by the incomplete equation below.
H3C6H5O7(aq) + 3NaHCO3(aq)==> Na3C6H5O7(aq) + 3CO2(g) + 3 _______ (ℓ)
Complete the equation in your answer booklet by writing the formula of the missing product.

H2O
This equation is a double displacement reaction, and it forms H2CO3, which is very unstable and separates into H2O and CO2.

Answer:

Water (H₂O) is the missing product

Explanation:

Let's write the equation involved:

H₃C₆H₅O₇(aq) + 3NaHCO₃(aq) ---->

When we watch the first product which is Na₃C₆H₅O₇, we can see that in this case, there was a displacement of the H₃ by the atoms of Na. This give us an idea of what kind of reaction is ocurring. If we follow the principle of the displacement, the reaction should be the following:

H₃C₆H₅O₇(aq) + 3NaHCO₃(aq) ----> Na₃C₆H₅O₇(aq) + 3H₂CO₃(aq)

However, this last compound (H₂CO₃) is very unstable in the presence of sodium citrate, so, the acid suffers another internal reaction:

H₂CO₃(aq) -------> CO₂(g) + H₂O(l)

The CO₂ are the bubbles produced, and the water is produced in solution. Therefore, the products of the general reaction is:

H₃C₆H₅O₇(aq) + 3NaHCO₃(aq) ----> Na₃C₆H₅O₇(aq) + 3CO₂(g) + 3H₂O(l)

The Center for Disease Control publishes articles explaining the causes of seasonal West Nile virus. Research proves mosquitoes
Goshia [24]

Answer:

The correct answer is - Mosquitoes transmit the virus as parasites which feed on the blood of host organisms and inject the virus during feeding.

Explanation:

According to the CDC, the seasonal West Nile virus is caused by the mosquitoes of freshwater transmit this disease to humans and others. These mosquitoes are feed on the birds and pick these viruses.

These viruses stick on mosquitoes and when they feed on the blood of humans they transmit these viruses by injecting viruses into the blood of humans.

1. Compare and contrast the characteristics of metals and nonmetals.
Alona [7]

Answer:

1.Metals

These are very hard except sodium

These are malleable and ductile  pieces

These are shiny

Electropositive in nature

Non-metals

These are soft except diamond

These are brittle and can break down into pieces

These are non-lustrous except iodine

Electronegative in nature

2. The electrochemical series helps to pick out substances that are good oxidizing agents and those which are good reducing agents.In an electrochemical series the species which are placed above hydrogen are more difficult to be reduced and their standard reduction potential values are negative.

3. Arrhenius theory, theory, introduced in 1887 by the Swedish scientist Svante Arrhenius, that acids are substances that dissociate in water to yield electrically charged atoms or molecules, called ions, one of which is a hydrogen ion (H+), and that bases ionize in water to yield hydroxide ions (OH−).

4. The common application of indicators is the detection of end points of titrations. The colour of an indicator alters when the acidity or the oxidizing strength of the solution, or the concentration of a certain chemical species, reaches a critical range of values.
