I believe it is spontaneous generation
The balanced equation for the reaction is as follows
Na₂CO₃ + 2HCl --> 2NaCl + CO₂ + H₂O
stoichiometry of Na₂CO₃ to HCl is 1:2
number of Na₂CO₃ moles reacted = molarity x volume
number of Na₂CO₃ moles = 0.100 mol/L x 0.750 L = 0.0750 mol
according to molar ratio of 1:2
1 mol of Na₂CO₃ reacts with 2 mol of HCl
then 0.0750 mol of Na₂CO₃ mol reacts with - 2 x 0.0750 = 0.150 mol
molarity of given HCl solution is 1.00 mol/L
molarity is defined as the number of moles of solute in 1 L of solution
there are 1.00 mol in 1 L of solution
therefore there are 0.150 mol in - 0.150 mol / 1.00 mol/L = 0.150 L
volume of HCl required is 0.150 L
Volume of the metal = change in volume reading
Volume = 37.4 - 33
Volume = 4.4 ml
Density = mass / volume
Density = 7.101 / 4.4
Density = 1.61 g/ml
The radioactive decay of unstable isotopes continually generates new energy within Earth's crust and mantle, providing the primary source of the heat that drives mantle convection. Plate tectonics can be viewed as the surface expression of mantle convection.
