Answer:

m_{Na_2CO_3}^{theoretical}=6.636gNa_2CO_3

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, since the decomposition of sodium hydrogen carbonate is:

2NaHCO_3(s)\rightarrow Na_2CO_3(s)+H_2O(g)+CO_2(g)

Thus, since there is a 2:1 mole ratio between the sodium hydrogen carbonate and sodium carbonate, and the molar masses are 84.01 and 105.99 g/mol respectively, we obtain the following theoretical yield:

m_{Na_2CO_3}^{theoretical}=10.52gNaHCO_3*\frac{1molNaHCO_3}{84.01gNaHCO_3}*\frac{1molNa_2CO_3}{2molNaHCO_3}  *\frac{105.99gNa_2CO_3}{1molNa_2CO_3}\\\\ m_{Na_2CO_3}^{theoretical}=6.636gNa_2CO_3

Best regards!

Unstable isotopes undergo radioactive decay. what occurs during radioactive decay?
mel-nik [20]
Here is what radioactive decay is:
<span>Radioactive decay is the spontaneous breakdown of an atomic nucleus resulting in the release of energy and matter from the nucleus. Remember that a radioisotope has unstable nuclei that does not have enough binding energy to hold the nucleus together.</span>

When the isotonic saline solution described in part A is connected to an unknown solution via a semipermeable membrane, the unkn
ozzi

B. The unknown solution had the lower concentration.

Explanation:

Osmosis is a phenomenon in which the molecules of the solvent has a tendency to move through a membrane which is semipermeable from lower concentrated side to the higher concentration side, so that the concentrations on both sides of the membrane must be equal.

So the unknown solution may have lesser concentration than the isotonic solution so that molecules of that solution move from less concentrated side to the more concentrated side, so its level drops.

Why are some substances not able to dissolve in water?
Gemiola [76]
<span>Water is a polar molecule. If a solute dissolved in water is polar molecule, it will dissolve in water. If a solute dissolved in water is non-polar like oil it will not dissolve in water. Polar dissolves in polar.</span>
