Answer:
39.998
Explanation:
Hello, have a periodic table handy!
Molar mass is the molecular weight of a compound; sum of all of the mass in grams (from the periodic table) from each and specific atom.
In the periodic table, the molecular weight of an atom is usually shown on the bottom of the element.
In NaOH, there are three atoms in that compound. Na (sodium), O (oxygen), and H (hydrogen).
For Na, the molecular weight is 22.99
For O, the molecular weight is 16.00
For H, the molecular weight is 1.008.
Add all of those values up together to get the molar mass of NaOH being 39.998
Atomic mass C = 12.0107
Atomic mass O= 15.9994
Calculate the molecular mass of the CO2
12.0107 + (2 x 15.9994) = 44.0095
Multiply the mass of CO2 by the conversion factor that relate the O mass to the molecular mass of CO2 to find the mass of O in the 71.89g of CO2
71.89 g CO2 x (2 x 15.9994) / 44.0095 =
52.2703900748702
52.27 g O
There are two possible situations.
1) If a phase change is not occurring, then the heat added contributes to increased translational energy of the particles. What that means is the particles move/vibrate faster.
2) If a phase change is occurring, then the heat added contributes to the breaking of bonds or intermolecular forces (depending on the chemical nature of the matter you're dealing with).
