Answer:

Explanation:

CH₃COOH(aq) + NaHCO₃(s) -> CO₂(g) + H₂O(l) + Na+(aq) + CH₃COO-(aq)

The equation is already balanced .

In the reaction acetic acid reacts with sodium bicarbonate to produce carbon dioxide gas , water and sodium acetate . Sodium acetate will be in ionic form ie in the form of Na⁺ ( sodium ion ) and CH₃COO ⁻ ion ( acetate ion ) .

This is an acid base neutralisation reaction . one mole of acetic acid reacts with one mole of sodium bicarbonate to produce one mole of carbon dioxide gas , one mole of water and one mole of sodium acetate in ionic form .

You can determine the hazards of these chemicals by looking at their material data safety sheets (MSDS).

1. 0.1 M Ag⁺: Silver compounds are absorbed by skin causing bluish pigmentation. Thus, it causes staining on skin. Also, liquid vapor may be irritating to skin and also moderately toxic when ingested.

2. 0.1 M Ba²⁺: This is mildly toxic when ingested causing stomach irritation, muscle weakness, swelling of organs like brain, liver, kidney and heart.

3. 0.1 M Fe³⁺:Iron is corrosive, has irritating vapor especially to the eyes, and toxic if ingested.

4. 6 M HCl: This is a concentrated strong acid, so it is corrosive, has irritating vapors, flammable and toxic when ingested.

5. 6 M H₂SO₄: This is also a concentrated strong acid. Moreover, it is a strong oxidizing agent. So, its hazards include: corrosive, has irritating vapors, toxic when ingested and causes staining on skin.

6. 6 M HNO₃: This is a concentrated strong acid, so it is corrosive, has irritating vapors, flammable and toxic when ingested.

7. 7.5 M NH₃: This is a weak base. It is characterized for its pungent odor. This is corrosive, has irritating vapors, toxic if ingested, and flammable.

Calculate the molar concentration of the Br⁻ ions in 0.51 M MgBr2(aq), assuming that the dissolved substance dissociates complet

Y_Kistochka [10]

MgBr2(aq) is an ionic compound which will have the releasing of 2 Br⁻ ions ions in water for every molecule of MgBr2 that dissolves.
MgBr2(s) --> Mg+(aq) + 2 Br⁻(aq)
[Br⁻] = 0.51 mol MgBr2/1L × 2 mol Br⁻ / 1 mol MgBr2 = 1.0 M
The answer to this question is [Br⁻] = 1.0 M

If an atom has 6 valence electrons, how many electrons does it need to gain to achieve a stable electron configuration?

shusha [124]

it would need to gain 2 more for it to achieve a stable configuration

the best way to remember this is the noble gasses all have 8 valence electrons and that they are the most stable elements on the periodic table
