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.

What are the charges of families 1, 2, & 13 (boron family) if/when they become Ions
Natalka [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

Group one elements are alkali metals. All alkali metal have one valance electron. They loses their one valance electron and from cation with charge of +1.

Charges on group one.

Hydrogen = +1

Lithium = +1

Sodium = +1

Potassium = +1

Rubidium = +1

Cesium = +1

Francium = +1

Group two elements are alkaline earth metals. All alkaline earth metal have two valance electron. They loses their two valance electron and from cation with charge of +2.

Charges on group two.

Beryllium = +2

Magnesium = +2

Calcium = +2

Strontium = +2

Barium= +2

Radium = +2

Group 13 elements are boron family. All elements have three valance electrons. They loses their three valance electron and from cation with charge of +3.

Charges on group 13.

Boron = +3

Aluminium = +3

Gallium = +3

Indium = +3

Thallium= +3

Group 13 elements are also shows +1 charge by losing one valance electron.

Answer:

Explanation:

Scientific laws or laws of science are statements, based on repeated experiments or observations, that describe or predict a range of natural phenomena.[1] The term law has diverse usage in many cases (approximate, accurate, broad, or narrow) across all fields of natural science (physics, chemistry, astronomy, geoscience, biology). Laws are developed from data and can be further developed through mathematics; in all cases they are directly or indirectly based on empirical evidence. It is generally understood that they implicitly reflect, though they do not explicitly assert, causal relationships fundamental to reality, and are discovered rather than invented.[2]
