Answer:

Explanation:

The reason for that is because atoms make elements needed for survival(oxygen, hydrogen, nitrogen, carbon, etc.).

A 1.555-g sample of baking soda decomposes with heat to produce 0.991 g Na2CO3. Refer to Example Exercise 14.l and show the calc

Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Answer:

a) 101%

b)59.7%

Explanation:

The equation for the thermal decomposition of baking soda is shown;

2NaHCO3 → Na2CO3 + H2O + CO2

Number of moles of baking soda= mass/molar mass= 1.555g/84.007 g/mol = 0.0185 moles

From the reaction equation;

2 moles of baking soda yields 1 mole of sodium carbonate

0.0185 moles of baking soda will yield = 0.0185 moles ×1 /2 = 9.25 ×10^-3 moles of sodium carbonate.

Therefore, mass of sodium carbonate= 9.25 ×10^-3 moles × 106gmol-1= 0.9805 g of sodium carbonate. This is the theoretical yield of sodium carbonate.

%yield = actual yield/theoretical yield ×100

% yield = 0.991/0.9805 ×100

%yield = 101%

Since ;

2NaHCO3 → Na2CO3 + H2O + CO2

And H2O + CO2 ---> H2CO3

Hence I can write, 2NaHCO3 → Na2CO3 + H2CO3

Molar mass of H2CO3= 62.03 gmol-1

Molar mass of baking soda= 84 gmol-1

Therefore, mass of baking soda=

0.325/62.03 × 2 × 84 = 0.88 g of NaHCO3

% of NaHCO3= 0.88/1.473 × 100 = 59.7%

How much heat is absorbed when 63.7 g H2O(l) at 100 degrees Celsius and 101.3kPa is converted to steam at 100

Alona [7]

Answer:

Q = 143,921 J = 143.9 kJ.

Explanation:

Hello there!

In this case, according to the given information, it turns out possible for us to calculate the absorbed heat by considering this is a process involving sensible heat associated to the vaporization of water, which is isothermic and isobaric; and thus, the heat of vaporization of water, with a value of about 2259.36 J/g, is used as shown below:

$Q=m*\Delta _{vap}H$

Thus, we plug in the mass and the aforementioned heat of vaporization of water to obtain the following:

$Q=63.7g*2259.36J/g\\\\Q=143,921J=143.9kJ$

Regards!
