Answer:

The number of electrons in a neutral atom is equal to the number of protons. The mass number of the atom (M) is equal to the sum of the number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus. The number of neutrons is equal to the difference between the mass number of the atom (M) and the atomic number (Z).

Physical Properties: Sodium bicarbonate is an odorless, white crystalline solid or fine powder. It has a slightly alkaline taste. Its density is 2.20 g mL-1 and it decomposes in temperatures above 50 ºC. The decomposition yields to sodium carbonate. It is highly soluble in water and poorly soluble in acetone and methanol. It is insoluble in ethanol.

Chemical Properties: Sodium bicarbonate is an amphoteric compounds, it means the compound has a character acids an basic at the same time. It is highly soluble in water, resulting in a slighty alkaline solution.

i hope this part helps i will continue to research on Toothpaste's properties

There are two binary compounds of mercury and oxygen. heating either of them results in the decomposition of the compound, with

grandymaker [24]

$\text{Hg} \text{O}$ and $\text{Hg}_{2} \text{O}$ .

Assuming complete decomposition of both samples,

$m(\text{Hg}) = m(\text{residure})$
$m(\text{O}) = m(\text{loss})$

First compound:

$m(\text{O}) = m(\text{loss}) = 0.6498 - 0.6018 = 0.048 \; g$
$m(\text{Hg}) = m(\text{residure}) = 0.6018 \; g$

$n = m/M$ ; $0.6498 \; g$ of the first compound would contain

$n(\text{O atoms}) = 0.048 \; g / 16 \; g \cdot mol^{-1}= 0.003 \; mol$
$n(\text{Hg atoms}) = 0.6018 \; g / 200.58 \; g \cdot mol^{-1}= 0.003 \; mol$

Oxygen and mercury atoms seemingly exist in the first compound at a $1:1$ ratio; thus the empirical formula for this compound would be $\text{Hg} \text{O}$ where the subscript "1" is omitted.
