The masses of the components are obtained as;
- Sodium hydrogen carbonate = 3.51 g
- Sodium carbonate = 8.708 g
<h3>What is decomposition?</h3>
The term decomposition has to do with the breakdown of the given substance into its components. The components of sodium hydrogen carbonate could be identified as water vapor, carbon dioxide gas and sodium carbonate. Among these products that have been listed here, we can see that it is only the sodium carbonate that remains as a solid. The others are gases that move away from the system that is under study.
Now putting down the equation of the reaction, we have;

Now, the loss in mass must be due to the carbon dioxide and the water. Hence we obtain the loss in mass to be 10.000 g - 8.708 g = 1.292 g
Mass of sodium hydrogen carbonate = 2 * 88 g/mol * 1.292 g/62 g/mol
= 3.51 g

His map of the ocean floor did not support his theory
Explanation:
- Alfred Wegner was a great scientist
- He observed the plate tectonics of earth and described it in a theory.
- It was dismissed after viewing his ocean floor
I think the answer is C. An element or compound that cannot be physically separated. Sorry if im wrong.
The answer is Vestigal. It is a type of anatomical structure that no longer serves any function. Over time they are no longer needed in the body. Apart from the wisdom tooth, another example would be the tail bone which has no use for humans.
