Answer:

2NaCl(l) => 2Na(s) + Cl₂(g)

Explanation:

Electrolysis of melt NaCl to form sodium (Na) metal and chlorine (Cl₂) gas.

This is a class of reaction called 'Decomposition Rxns'. For what it's worth, there are 6 distinct compound types that undergo breakdown by decomposition. The acronym C O A C H E can help remember them.

C - Carbonates => CaCO₃(s) => CaO + CO₂

O - Oxides of Metals => 2Fe₂O₃(s) => 4Fe°(s) + 3O₂(g)

A - Acids (Oxoacids) => H₂CO₃(aq) => CO₂(g) + H₂O(l)

C - Chlorates, Bromates & Iodates => 2KClO₃(s) => 2KCl(s) + 3O₂(g)

H - Hydroxides => Ca(OH)₂(s) => CaO(s) + H₂O(l)

E - Electrolysis => see above electrolysis of NaCl(l)

What is the molecular formula of a compound whose molar mass is 88.0 and whose percent composition is 54.5% carbon, 9.1% hydroge
Ray Of Light [21]

Answer:

C4H8O2

Explanation:

The molar mass of the compound we're looking for is 88.

54.5% of 88 is 4, this is how many carbons will be in the compound.

9.1% of 88 is 8, this is your hydrogens.

and 36.4% of 88 is roughly 3, however if you subtract the previous amounts to round down, you get 2; the oxygen amount.

Combine them all and you get C4H8O2

How do we know that stars explode in our<br> galaxy?
yanalaym [24]
We know that it is a certainty based on things such as the size, mass, brightness, etc. They can determine to within a relative level of accuracy the age. Of course they can be off by millions of years, but that’s pretty precise for a 10–20 billion year time period for the life of a star. BUT we absolutely cannot predict exactly when it will explode and we see supernovas in other galaxies, but the last one in the Milky Way that we observed was in the 1600s.
