Answer:

Initially, the ballast tanks are filled with water. The weight of the submarine is equal to the upthrust of the water at the position of the submarine under water. When high pressure air is released into the ballast tanks displacing the water, the weight of the submarine becomes less than the upthrust of the water thus the net force is is upwards and it forces the sub to resurface. This is according to the Archimedes principle which states that a a body partially or wholly immersed in water displaces its own weight of the fluid in which it is immersed.

Which of the following represents the smallest mass? I.) 23 cg II.) 2.3 x 10-3 μg III.) 0.23 mg IV.) 0.23 g V.) 2.3 x 10-2 kg

jenyasd209 [6]

The smallest mass among the choices is Choice (ii):2.3 x 10-3 μg

This is so because, the prefix μ signifies a factor of 10^-6.

For choice I:

23 cg means 23 centigrams

In essence = 0.23grams

For choice II:

2.3 × 10-3 μg means 2.3 × 10-9 grams

For choice III:

0.23 mg means 0.23 × 10-3 grams

For choice IV:

0.23 grams simply means 0.23grams

For choice V:

2.3 × 10-2 kg means 23 grams

Ultimately, Choice II represents the smallest mass.

Sodium carbonate reacts with silver nitrate according to the following balanced equation: Na2CO3 (s) + 2 AgNO3 (aq) → Ag2CO3 (s)

klemol [59]

Answer:

a) 2.01 g

Explanation:

Na₂CO₃ (s) + 2AgNO₃ (aq) → Ag₂CO₃ (s) + 2NaNO₃

First we convert 0.0302 mol AgNO₃ to Na₂CO₃ moles, in order to calculate how many Na₂CO₃ moles reacted:

0.0302 mol AgNO₃ * $\frac{1molNa_2CO_3}{2molAgNO_3}$ = 0.0151 mol Na₂CO₃

So the remaining Na₂CO₃ moles are:

0.0340 - 0.0151 = 0.0189 moles Na₂CO₃

Finally we convert Na₂CO₃ moles into grams, using its molar mass:

0.0189 moles Na₂CO₃ * 106 g/mol = 2.003 g Na₂CO₃

The closest answer is option a).
