Answer:

It breaks down into multiple elements

Explanation:

A decomposition reaction is a type of chemical reaction in witch a single compound breaks down into two or more elements or new compounds. These reactions often involve an energy source such as heat, light, or electricity that breaks apart the bonds of compound

A decomposition reaction is when a compound breaks down into elements or smaller compounds.

For example, 2 moles hydrogen peroxide, H2O2, could decompose into 2 moles of water and one mole of oxygen.

2 H2O2 = 2 H2O + O2

Answer : The ionic equation will be:

$CH_3CH(OH)COO^-(aq)+H^+(aq)+Na^+(aq)+HCO_3^-(aq)\rightarrow CH_3CH(OH)COO^-(aq)+Na^+(aq)+H_2O(l)+CO_2(g)$

Explanation :

Neutralization reaction : It is a type of chemical reaction in which an acid react with a base to give salt and water as a product that means it reacts to give a neutral solution.

When baking soda (sodium hydrogen carbonate) base react with lactic acid then it react to gives sodium lactate, carbon dioxide and water as a product.

The balanced chemical reaction will be:

$CH_3CH(OH)COOH(aq)+NaHCO_3(aq)\rightarrow CH_3CH(OH)COONa(aq)+H_2O(l)+CO_2(g)$

The ionic equation will be:

$CH_3CH(OH)COO^-(aq)+H^+(aq)+Na^+(aq)+HCO_3^-(aq)\rightarrow CH_3CH(OH)COO^-(aq)+Na^+(aq)+H_2O(l)+CO_2(g)$

A chemical reaction produced 10.1 cm3 of nitrogen gas at 23 °C and 746 mmHg. What is the volume of this gas if the temperature a

adell [148]

Answer:

volume of gas = 9.1436cm³

Explanation:

We will only temperature from °C to K since the conversion is done by the addition of 273 to the Celsius value.

Its not necessary to convert pressure and volume as their conversions are done by multiplication and upon division using the combined gas equation, the factors used in their conversions will cancel out.

V1 =10.1cm³ , P1 =746mmHg, T1=23°C =23+273=296k

V2 =? , P2 =760mmmHg , T2=0°C = 0+273 =273K

Using the combined gas equation to calculate for V2;

$\frac{V1P1}{T1}=\frac{V2P2}{T2} \\ re-arranging, \\V2 =\frac{V1P1T2}{P2T1}$
