Answer:

Decomposition

Explanation:

If we look at the process;

2 NaHCO3 (s) → Na2CO3 (s) + H2O (g) + CO2 (g)

We can see that NaHCO3 was broken down into Na2CO3, H2O and CO2.

The breakdown of one compound to yield other chemical compounds is known as decomposition.

Hence the NaHCO3 was decomposed in the process above.

The activity of a certain isotope dropped from 3200 ci to 800 ci in 24.0 years. what is the half-life of this isotope (in years)
Alexxx [7]
Ln(800/3200) = - kt
t = 24 years.
ln(0.25) = -k*24
(- 1.3863) = -k*24
1.3863  / 24 = k
0.05776 = k

ln(0.5) = -k*t
-0.6931 = - 0.05776 t
12 = t

I don't know if you can just look at the question and know the answer. If 24 years is a quarter life then is it obvious that the 1/2 life is 12 years? It might be, but the method I've used works for sure.

Fractional distilation of liquid air usually produces nitrogen and oxygen as major products . Substance used to remove carbon iv
Nastasia [14]

Answer:

Caustic soda

Explanation:

The fractional distillation of air is carried out on liquid air. Before air is liquified, the carbon dioxide content of air is removed using caustic soda. The air is then compressed to a pressure of about 200 atm, sudden expansion of the gas leads to cooling. The process continues until air becomes liquid at  -200°C.

Fractional distillation of liquid air usually produces nitrogen and oxygen as major products. nitrogen in obtained first since it has a lower boiling point than oxygen. The gases are then dried, compressed and stored in cylinders.

Explain collision theory and discuss how it can be used to explain why powdered sugar will dissolve in water faster than a cube
il63 [147K]

Explanation:

Collision theory helps in determining the rate of a reaction as it states that for a reaction to occur it is necessary that there will be number of collisions between reactant molecules.

Therefore, when powdered sugar is placed into water then due to more surface area there will be more number of collisions between sugar and water molecules. As a result, sugar will readily dissolve in water.

On the other hand, surface area of cube will be less as compared to powdered sugar. Hence, there will be less number of collision and cube will take time to dissolve in water.

Benzaldehyde, C6H5CHO, has a normal boiling point of 179.0 ∘C and a critical point at 422 ∘C and 45.9 atm.
Naya [18.7K]
Ln(P2/P1) = (L/R).(1/T1 - 1/T2) 

<span>with P1 = 1 atm, P2 = 45.9 atm, R = 8.314 J/mol.K, T1 = 452.15 K, T2 = 695.15 K. This gave the latent heat L as 41.2 kJ/mol.K. </span>

<span>Using this value, and calculating the vapour pressure at 120°C = 393.15 K </span>

<span>ln(P2) = (41.2 x 10^3/8.314).(1/452.15 - 1/393.15) </span>

<span>which gives the vapour pressure P2 as 0.1931 atm = 146.7 torr. </span>
