The masses of the components are obtained as;
- Sodium hydrogen carbonate = 3.51 g
- Sodium carbonate = 8.708 g
<h3>What is decomposition?</h3>
The term decomposition has to do with the breakdown of the given substance into its components. The components of sodium hydrogen carbonate could be identified as water vapor, carbon dioxide gas and sodium carbonate. Among these products that have been listed here, we can see that it is only the sodium carbonate that remains as a solid. The others are gases that move away from the system that is under study.
Now putting down the equation of the reaction, we have;

Now, the loss in mass must be due to the carbon dioxide and the water. Hence we obtain the loss in mass to be 10.000 g - 8.708 g = 1.292 g
Mass of sodium hydrogen carbonate = 2 * 88 g/mol * 1.292 g/62 g/mol
= 3.51 g

The question is missing the graphics required to answer which I have attached as an image.
There are four different representations of the orientation of water molecules around chloride anion. Let's first analyze the water molecule.
We have H-O-H as the structure of water. The oxygen atom is more electronegative than the hydrogen atoms, which results in a partial positive charge on the hydrogen atoms and a partial negative charge on the oxygen atom.
The chloride anion is a negative charge. Therefore, the water molecules should orient themselves with the hydrogen atoms facing the chlorine atom as the partial positive charge on the hydrogen atoms will be attracted to the negative charge of the chlorine atom.
The correct representation is shown in graph 3 which shows all hydrogen atoms facing the chlorine anion.

Caesium sulfate (cesium sulfate) is the inorganic compound and salt with the formula Cs2SO4. It is a white water-soluble solid that is used to prepare dense aqueous solutions for use in isopycnic (or "density-gradient") centrifugation. It is isostructural with potassium salt.
Answer:
Phosphorus makes 5 bonds with other atoms
Explanation:
has total 32 number of valence electrons (P has 5 , O has 6 and Cl has 7 valence electrons).
These valence electrons are used to draw Lewis structure of
.
Formal charge on an atom = (no. of valence electrons of the atom)-(no. of covalent bonds attached to the atom)-(no. of electrons in lone pair of the atom)
Applying octet rule (atoms have eight electrons in their valence shell) and minimizing formal charge of
, it has been found that P makes total 5 bonds with rest of the atoms.
Lewis structure of
along with formal charge (in parentheses) has been given below.
