Answer:

High temperatures

Explanation:

NaHCO₃ (8) + HCH,O₂ (aq) → H₂O (l) + CO₂ (g) + NaC,H₃O₂ (aq)

As the flask gets cooler to the touch as the reaction proceeds, the reaction is endothermic. This means that ΔH is positive (ΔH>0).

As a gas is formed (bubbles are formed), ΔS is positive (ΔS>0).

<em>In terms of ΔG:</em>

ΔG = ΔH - TΔS

<em>In order for the reaction to be thermodynamically favorable, ΔH has to be negative</em>, thus:

The reaction is favorable if TΔS > ΔH.

The greater the temperature, the easier it would be for TΔS to be greater than ΔH.

Measurements show that unknown compound has the following composition: element mass 38.7 % calcium, 19.9 % phosphorus and 41.2 %

Mademuasel [1]

Answer:

D) empirical formula is: C₃P₂O₈

Explanation:

Given:

Mass % Calcium (Ca) = 38.7%

Mass % Phosphorus (P) = 19.9%

Mass % oxygen (O) = 41.2 %

This implies that for a 100 g sample of the unknown compound:

Mass Ca = 38.7 g

Mass P = 19.9 g

Mass O = 41.2 g

Step 1: Calculate the moles of Ca, P, O

Atomic mass Ca = 40.08 g/mol

Atomic mass P = 30.97 g/mol

Atomic mass O = 16.00 g/mol

$Moles\ Ca = \frac{38.7g}{40.08g/mol} =0.966\ mol\\\\Moles\ P = \frac{19.9g}{30.97g/mol} =0.643\ mol\\\\Moles\ O = \frac{41.2g}{16.00g/mol} =2.58\ mol$

Step 2: Calculate the molar ratio

$C = \frac{0.966}{0.643} =1.50\\\\P = \frac{0.643}{0.643} = 1.00\\\\O = \frac{2.58}{0.643} =4.00$

Step 3: Calculate the closest whole number ratio

C: P: O = 1.50 : 1.00 : 4.00

C : P : O = 3:2:8

Therefore, the empirical formula is: C₃P₂O₈

The number of bonds an atom can form without violating the octet rule is reflected in the number of holes the "ball" for that at

kolezko [41]

Answer:

four holes

Explanation:

A ball and stick model is a representation of a molecule that can show the number of bonds and sometimes, the stereochemistry of the molecule under study.

The number of holes on present in the ball and stick model for any atom corresponds to the number of bonds that particular atom can form without violating the octet rule.

Carbon is usually tetravalent, it forms four bonds to other atoms. Hence we expect carbon to have four holes.
