Answer:
When solutions of sodium carbonate and hydrochloric acid are mixed, the equation for the hypothetical double displacement reaction is: Na2CO3 + 2 HCl → 2 NaCl + H2CO3 Bubbles of a colorless gas are evolved when these solutions are mixed.
Answer:
Curd, lemon juice, orange juice and vinegar taste sour. These substances taste sour because they contain acids. The chemical nature of such substances is acidic. The word acid comes from the Latin word acere which means sour.
Answer:
66.2 % of O
Explanation:
Our compound is the lithium nitrite.
LiNO₂
This salt is ionic and can be dissociated: LiNO₂ → Li⁺ + NO₂⁻
We determine the molar mass:
molar mass of Li + 3 . molar mass of N + 6 . molar mass of O
6.94 g/mol + 3. 14 g/mol + 6 . 16 g/mol = 144.94 g/mol
The mass of oxygen contained in 1 mol of lithium nitrite is:
6 . 16 g/mol = 96 g
So the percentage of oxygen present is:
(96 g / 144.94 g) . 100 = 66.2 %
Answer:
The u (amu is the old unit name) is 1/12 of the weight of an 12C atom. The way the u is chosen ensures that all core and atom masses are multiples of 1(±0.1) u.
Explanation:
Further explanation if needed...
Carbon 12 was chosen because the chemical atomic weights based on C12 are almost identical to the chemical atomic weights based on the natural mix of oxygen. Simply because the atomic mass is defined as 1/12 of the mass of 12C. Others isotopes of carbon (13C mostly, with an abundance of 1.1% approximately) account for an average atomic mass slightly above 12.
