The charge of B is +3 and the charge of O is -2. What is its formula?

2 answers:

7 0

Option B: B2O3

In order to make a compound, it has to be neutral. We have to combine the +3 charged and the -2 charges until they cancel out.

The only possible compound is B2O3, since the positive charges add up to +6 and the negative charges add up to -6.

The formula is B2O3. The charges need to equal each other to obtain a neutral compound of no charge hence 2 B has a charge of +6 and 3 O has a charge of -6 to cancel out each other, resulting in a stable uncharged compound.

1) A mixture of anhydrous sodium carbonate and sodium hydrogencarbonate of mass 10.000 g was heated until it reached a constant

vodomira [7]

The masses of the components are obtained as;

Sodium hydrogen carbonate = 3.51 g
Sodium carbonate = 8.708 g

<h3>What is decomposition?</h3>

The term decomposition has to do with the breakdown of the given substance into its components. The components of sodium hydrogen carbonate could be identified as water vapor, carbon dioxide gas and sodium carbonate. Among these products that have been listed here, we can see that it is only the sodium carbonate that remains as a solid. The others are gases that move away from the system that is under study.

Now putting down the equation of the reaction, we have;

$2NaHCO_{3} (s) ----- > Na_{2} CO_{3} (s) + CO_{2} (g) + H_{2} O(g)$

Now, the loss in mass must be due to the carbon dioxide and the water. Hence we obtain the loss in mass to be 10.000 g - 8.708 g = 1.292 g

Mass of sodium hydrogen carbonate = 2 * 88 g/mol * 1.292 g/62 g/mol

= 3.51 g
