Carbon-14 is a common isotope of the element. How many electrons

Dumbledore decides to gives a surprise demonstration. He starts with a hydrate of Na2CO3 which has a mass of 4.31 g before heati

Answer:

Na₂CO₃.2H₂O

Explanation:

For the hydrated compound, let us denote is by Na₂CO₃.xH₂O

The unknown is the value of x which is the amount of water of crystallisation.

Given values:

Starting mass of hydrate i.e Na₂CO₃.xH₂O = 4.31g

Mass after heating (Na₂CO₃) = 3.22g

Mass of the water of crystallisation = (4.31-3.22)g = 1.09g

To determine the integer x, we find the number of moles of the anhydrous Na₂CO₃ and that of the water of crystallisation:

Number of moles = $\frac{mass }{molar mass }$

Molar mass of Na₂CO₃ =[(23x2) + 12 + (16x3)] = 106gmol⁻¹

Molar mass of H₂O = [(1x2) + (16)] = 18gmol⁻¹

Number of moles of Na₂CO₃ = $\frac{3.22}{106}$ = 0.03mole

Number of moles of H₂O = $\frac{1.09}{18}$ = 0.06mole

From the obtained number of moles:

Na₂CO₃ H₂O

0.03 0.06

Simplest

Ratio 0.03/0.03 0.03/0.06

1 2

Therefore, x = 2

According to valence bond theory, which orbitals overlap in the formation of the bond in HCl?

SIZIF [17.4K]

A) 1s on H and 3p on Cl

In HCl, the H atom has only one valance electron. Each share an electron an therefore a single covalent bond is formed between the two. The bond in HCl is therefore a result of an overlap between 1s orbital and ONLY ONE of the lobes of the 3p orbital of Chlorine.

How can you figure out the properties of a star?

Firlakuza [10]

Answer:

Measuring distances to stars through stellar parallax. Measuring distances to stars through the moving cluster method. Astronomers measure the temperature of a star by looking at the star's color and its spectrum. The apparent brightness of a star tells how bright it seems to us

Argon atom can exist freely in nature, why

lana [24]

Answer:

Argon can exist freely in nature because it has a full octet of electrons the way its found in the nature is the same way its found in periodic table of element in vast amouts of stabilization.
