Answer:

There is 78.25g NaHCO3 required

Explanation:

Step 1: Balance the equation

2 NaHCO3 → Na2CO3 + CO2 + H20

For 2 moles of NaHCO3 consumed, there is produced 1 mole of Na2CO3, 1 mole of CO2 and 1 mole of H2O.

Step 2: calculating moles of CO2

mass of Co2 = 20.5g

Molar mass of CO2 = 44.01 g/mole

moles of CO2 = 20.5 / 44.01 = 0.4658 moles

Step 3: Calculating moles of NaHCO3

Since we have for 1 mole CO2 produced, there is 2 moles of NaHCO3 consumed.

To calculate number of moles of NaHCO3, we have to multiply the number of moles of CO2, by 2.

⇒ 0.4658 x2 = 0.9316 moles

Step 4: Calculating the mass of NaHCO3

mass of NaHCO3 = moles of NaHCO3 x Molar mass of NaHCO3

mass = 0.9316 moles x 84g/ mole = 78.25g NaHCO3

There is 78.25g NaHCO3 required

Sulfur dioxide has a vapor pressure of 462.7 mm Hg at –21.0 °C and a vapor pressure of 140.5 mm Hg at –44.0 °C. What is the enth

stealth61 [152]

Answer : The value of $\Delta H_{vap}$ is 28.97 kJ/mol

Explanation :

To calculate $\Delta H_{vap}$ of the reaction, we use clausius claypron equation, which is:

$\ln(\frac{P_2}{P_1})=\frac{\Delta H_{vap}}{R}[\frac{1}{T_1}-\frac{1}{T_2}]$

where,

$P_1$ = vapor pressure at temperature $-21.0^oC$ = 462.7 mmHg

$P_2$ = vapor pressure at temperature $-44.0^oC$ = 140.5 mmHg

$\Delta H_{vap}$ = Enthalpy of vaporization = ?

R = Gas constant = 8.314 J/mol K

$T_1$ = initial temperature = $-21.0^oC=[-21.0+273]K=252K$

$T_2$ = final temperature = $45^oC=[-41.0+273]K=232K$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\ln(\frac{140.5mmHg}{462.7mmHg})=\frac{\Delta H_{vap}}{8.314J/mol.K}[\frac{1}{252}-\frac{1}{232}]\\\\\Delta H_{vap}=28966.6J/mol=28.97kJ/mol$

Therefore, the value of $\Delta H_{vap}$ is 28.97 kJ/mol

Carbon dioxide and helium which has a higher van der waals force of attraction between molecules

raketka [301]

Answer:

Carbon dioxide

Explanation:

Neither helium nor carbon dioxide has a molecular dipole, so their strongest van der Waals attractive forces are London forces.

Helium is a small spherical atom with only a two electrons, so its atoms have quite weak attractions to each other.

CO₂ is a large linear molecule. It has more electrons than helium, so the attractive forces are greater. Furthermore, the molecules can align themselves compactly side-by-side and maximize the attractions (see below).

For example. CO₂ becomes a solid at -78 °C, but helium must be cooled to -272 °C to make it freeze (that's just 1 °C above absolute zero).

Two new planets with equal masses are discovered. Planet A is twice as far from the sun as Planet B. Which of the following is t

Sphinxa [80]

I think the answer is <span>B. The sun's gravitational pull on Planet A is equal to its gravitational pull on Planet B because distance does not affect gravity.
