Answer:

75mL

Explanation:

Step 1:

The balanced equation for the reaction. This is illustrated below:

C6H8O7 + 3NaHCO3 → Na3C6H5O7 + 3CO2 + 3H2O

Step 2:

Conversion of 15g of baking soda (NaHCO3) to mole.

This is illustrated below:

Mass of NaHCO3 = 15g

Molar Mass of NaHCO3 = 23 + 1 + 12 + (16x3) = 23 + 1 + 12 + 48 = 84g/mol

Number of mole = Mass/Molar Mass

Number of mole of NaHCO3 = 15/84 = 0.179 mole

Step 3:

Determination of the number of mole of citric acid (C6H8O7) produced by the reaction. This is illustrated below:

From the balanced equation above,

1 mole of C6H8O7 reacted with 3 moles of NaHCO3.

Therefore, Xmol of C6H8O7 will react with 0.179 mole of NaHCO3 i.e

Xmol of C6H8O7 = 0.179/3

Xmol of C6H8O7 = 0.06 mole.

Step 4:

Determination of the volume of C6H8O7 needed for the reaction. This is illustrated below:

Molarity of C6H8O7 = 0.8 M

Mole of C6H8O7 = 0.06

Volume =..?

Molarity = mole /Volume

Volume = mole /Molarity

Volume = 0.06/0.8

Volume = 0.075L

Converting 0.075L to mL, we have:

1L = 1000mL

Therefore 0.075L = 0.075 x 1000 = 75mL.

Therefore, 75mL of citric acid (C6H8O7) is needed for the reaction.

Why are the alkali metals and the halogens very reactive

jeyben [28]

Answer:

Answer in explanation

Explanation:

The reactivity or passiveness of an element depends solely on how close it is to attain a noble gas configuration. This means the closer an element is to attain a noble gas configuration, the greater its reactivity in both direction, positively or negatively.

Alkali metals belong to group 1 of the periodic table while halogens belong to group 17 of the periodic table. This means they are just one electron away from achieving the stability of a noble gas configuration. While alkali metals need to lose one electron to form a univalent positive ion, halogens news to gain one electron to form a univalent negative ion.

They tend to go about this vigorously and as such undergo several chemical reactions because of that single electron they neeed.

The model below shows an atom of an element. 10 light gray and 8 dark gray balls sit at the center with 2 concentric black rings

MA_775_DIABLO [31]

Answer:

The Atomic Number of the atom of an element whose model is given is "8" that is option no. 'C' in the question.

Explanation:

An Atom comprises of 3 basic structures that are Protons, Neutrons and Electrons. The central part is the Nucleus which contains protons and neutrons having positive charge and no charge respectively. The electrons are revolving around the nucleus in electronic shells having the negative charge.

ATOMIC NUMBER:

Atomic number is the number of protons present inside the nucleus of an atom and it determines the place of that particular atom in the Periodic Table.

In the model, given in the question, the nucleus contains 2 types of balls dark gray colored and light gray colored. The key at the bottom shows the dark gray colored ball as having a positive charge and thus it represents the atomic number for the given atom of element which is EIGHT (8).

So, the atomic number for the given atom is 8 which is element OXYGEN.

Which statement accurately describes why air pressure decreases as altitude increases? As you increase altitude the temperature

labwork [276]

Answer:

The correct answer is " As you increase altitude, Earth's gravity is not acting as greatly as when closer to Earth's surface so the weight of air molecules decrease, which also in turn decreases air pressure."

Explanation:

As altitude increases air becomes rarefied. At higher altitudes there is less Earth's gravity acting on the air molecules than at areas close the earth surface. Air pressure is the weight of air acting per unit surface area. At higher altitudes as the weight of air decreases due to reduced gravitational pull the air pressure also decreases.
