Answer: last option, what came before the big bang?
Explanation:
The big bang theory states that the universe started as a dense nucleus of matter: a huge amount of matter concentrated in a tiny spot.
This is the conclusion of equations and evidences that prove that the universe has been and continuous to expand: since it has been expanding, there was a moment when it was as small and dense as it is possible.
So, the expansion is the result of violent explosion.
The time during which the expansion has been happening (this is how long ago the big bang occured) has been estimated thanks the the observation of the speed of recesion of the galaxies, but nothing can be told about what came before the bing bang occured.
The balanced equation :
2NaHCO₃⇒CO₂ + Na₂CO₃+H₂O
<h3>Further explanation</h3>
Given
Reaction
NaHCO(s) --> _CO2+_NaCO(s)+_H2O
Required
The balanced equation
Solution
Maybe the equation should be like this :
NaHCO₃⇒CO₂ + Na₂CO₃+H₂O
Give a coefficient
NaHCO₃⇒aCO₂ + bNa₂CO₃+cH₂O
Make an equation
Na, left=1, right=2b⇒2b=1⇒b=1/2
H, left=1, right=2c⇒2c=1⇒c=1/2
C, left=1, right=a+b⇒a+b=1⇒a+1/2=1⇒a=1/2
The equation becomes :
NaHCO₃⇒1/2CO₂ +1/2Na₂CO₃+1/2H₂O x2
2NaHCO₃⇒CO₂ + Na₂CO₃+H₂O
Given:
35.0 mL of acid with an unknown concentration
24.6 mL of 0.432 M base
Required:
Concentration of the acid
Solution:
M1V1 = M2V2
M1 (35.0 mL of acid)
= (0.432 M base) (24.6 mL
of base)
V1 = (0.432
M base) (24.6 mL of base) /
(35.0 mL of acid)
M1 = 0.304 M of acid
1.6456 x 10^3 (ten to the third power)
I believe there would still be 3 protons in Lithium-8 because its usually the neutrons that are affected.
