Answer:

5. The mass of Na₂CO₃, that will produce 5 g of CO₂ is approximately 12.04 grams of Na₂CO₃

6. The mass of nitrogen gas (N₂) that will react completely with 150 g of hydrogen (H₂) in the production of NH₃ is 693.\overline{3168} grams of N₂

Explanation:

5. The given equation for the formation of carbon dioxide (CO₂) from sodium bicarbonate (Na₂CO₃)  is presented as follows;

(Na₂CO₃) + 2HCl → 2NaCl + CO₂ + H₂O

One mole (105.99 g) of Na₂CO₃ produces 1 mole (44.01 g) of CO₂

The mass, 'x' g of Na₂CO₃, that will produce 5 g of CO₂ is given by the law of definite proportions as follows;

\dfrac{x \ g}{105.99 \ g} = \dfrac{5 \ g}{44.01 \ g}

\therefore {x \ g} = \dfrac{5 \ g}{44.01 \ g} \times 105.99 \ g \approx 12.04 \ g

The mass of Na₂CO₃, that will produce 5 g of CO₂, x ≈ 12.04 g

6. The chemical equation for the reaction is presented as follows;

N₂ + 3H₂ → 2NH₃

Therefore, one mole (28.01 g) of nitrogen gas, (N₂), reacts with three moles (3 × 2.02 g) of hydrogen gas (H₂) to produce 2 moles of ammonia (NH₃)

The mass 'x' grams of nitrogen gas (N₂) that will react completely with150 g of hydrogen (H₂) in the production of NH₃ is given as follows;

\dfrac{x \ g}{28 .01 \ g} = \dfrac{150 \ g}{3 \times 2.02 \ g} = \dfrac{150 \ g}{6.06 \ g}

\therefore \ x \ g= \dfrac{150 \ g}{6.06 \ g} \times 28.01 \ g = 693.\overline {3168} \ g

The mass of nitrogen gas (N₂) that will react completely with 150 g of hydrogen (H₂) in the production of NH₃, x = 693.\overline{3168} grams

Which statement BEST explains why liquids and gases can flow but solids cannot?
storchak [24]

Answer:

B

Explanation:

A is not the answer.  Although the statement is accurate in regards to gases, it does not explain why liquids and gases can flow.

B is the answer.  Solids are in fixed structures.  When you apply heat or pressure, these structures are broken apart and allowed to move freely.

C is not the answer.  This is inaccurate.  Changing the phase of a substance does not change the size of the particle.

D is not the answer.  The opposite of this statement is true.  The attractive forces between particles in a solid allow the substance to hold its structure.  When you apply heat or pressure, the attractive forces are overpowered and the structure is broken.

Convert the average temperatures for each collected data point given below from °C to K. Plot the average cell potentials E (y-a
koban [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

The equation of above line , y = 0.0005x+ 0.458

This can be compared with y = mx+c

Hence slope, m = 0.0005 and Y-intercept, c = 0.458

Or it can be plotted manually where straight line has to be drawn touching maximum number of data points. After drawing a straight linear line, we need to take any two points from the straight line and slope is calculated

Slope,

m = \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

and y -intercept is calculated using extraplotting backwards such that it touches the Y-axis. the point where straight line touches Y-axis is Y-intercept (c).

Plot the average cell potentials E (y-axis) vs T (x-axis). image attached

g Which ONE of the following pure substances will exhibit hydrogen bonding? A) methyl fluoride, FCH3 B) dimethyl ether, CH3C–O–C
luda_lava [24]

Answer:

C) formaldehyde, H2C=O.

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, given that the hydrogen bondings are known as partial intermolecular interactions between a lone pair on an electron rich donor atom, particularly oxygen, and the antibonding molecular orbital of a bond between hydrogen and a more electronegative atom or group. Thus, among the options, C) formaldehyde, H2C=O, will exhibit hydrogen bonding since the lone pair of electrons of the oxygen at the carbonyl group, are able to interact with hydrogen (in the form of water).

Best regards.
