a. 13.25 g

b. 3 L

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

21 g of Sodium hydrogencarbonate

Reaction

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

Required

mass of residue

volume of CO2

Solution

mol NaHCO₃ (MW=84 g/mol) :

$\tt mol=\dfrac{21}{84}=0.25$

a. the residue = Na₂CO₃

From the equation, mol ratio NaHCO₃ : Na₂CO₃ = 2 : 1, so mol Na₂CO₃ :

$\tt \dfrac{1}{2}\times 0.25=0.125$

mass Na₂CO₃ (MW=106 g/mol) :

$\tt mass=0.125\times 106=13.25~g$

b. From equation, mol CO₂ = 0.5 x mol NaHCO₃ = 0.125

RTP= 25 C, 1 atm ⇒ 1 mol =24 L

So volume CO₂ :

$\tt 0.125\times 24=3~L$

The following is a sample question for brainliest. Brainliest will be given to the person who can answer the following question

Amanda [17]

Answer:

Chemistry is the branch of science that deals with the properties, composition, and structure of elements and compounds, how they can change, and the energy that is released or absorbed when they change. Traditionally, chemistry has been broken into five main subdisciplines: Organic, Analytical, Physical, Inorganic and Biochemistry. Chemistry is involved in everything we do. The reason why chemistry touches everything we do is because almost everything in existence can be broken down into chemical building blocks.

Two identical 732.0 L tanks each contain 212.0 g of gas at 293 K, with neon in one tank and nitrogen in the other. Based on the

Vladimir [108]

Answer: (a) Neon, Nitrogen; (b) Neon, Nitrogen; (c) Neon is lower than Nitrogen; (d) It doesn't affect;

Explanation: The kinetic-molecular theory studies the behavior of particles under pre-determinated situation. In cases of gases, the particles moving around colliding with each other and the walls of the container, without loss of energy. In the case in question, all the parameters are the same (same temperature, volume and pressure), except for the gases, which has different molar masses. In this sense, Neon has lower average speed due to its molar mass being higher, which means, its particles moves slower for being heavier. Related to pressure, as velocity is lower, it collides less with the walls of the tank, and so pressure is lower. For density, it doesn't affect the behavior of the system nor the kinetic energy.

Antimony has two naturally occuring isotopes, 121 Sb and 123 Sb . 121 Sb has an atomic mass of 120.9038 u , and 123 Sb has an at

valina [46]

Answer:

Percentage abundance of 121 Sb is = 57.2 %

Percentage abundance of 123 Sb is = 42.8 %

Explanation:

The formula for the calculation of the average atomic mass is:

$Average\ atomic\ mass=(\frac {\%\ of\ the\ first\ isotope}{100}\times {Mass\ of\ the\ first\ isotope})+(\frac {\%\ of\ the\ second\ isotope}{100}\times {Mass\ of\ the\ second\ isotope})$

Given that:

Since the element has only 2 isotopes, so the let the percentage of first be x and the second is 100 -x.

For first isotope, 121 Sb :

% = x %

Mass = 120.9038 u

For second isotope, 123 Sb:

% = 100 - x

Mass = 122.9042 u

Given, Average Mass = 121.7601 u

Thus,

$121.7601=\frac{x}{100}\times 120.9038+\frac{100-x}{100}\times 122.9042$

$120.9038x+122.9042\left(100-x\right)=12176.01$

Solving for x, we get that:

x = 57.2 %

<u>Thus, percentage abundance of 121 Sb is = 57.2 % </u>

<u>percentage abundance of 123 Sb is = 100 - 57.2 % = 42.8 %</u>
