What is the net ion equation and spectator ions for the reaction of (aq) NaC2H3O2 and aq (NH4)2 CO3?
mestny [16]

The reaction is:

(C₂H₃O₂)²⁻ +  NH₄⁺ = (NH₄)(C₂H₃O₂).

Na^+  and CO_3^2 - are the spectator ions.

<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>

The reactants in the reaction is sodium acetate and ammonium carbonate. They form the soluble molecule sodium carbonate and slightly soluble ammonium acetate. This is a double displacement reaction.

Spectator ions in the reaction are those ions which are present in the reaction but they actually don't take part in the reaction that's happening and they remain same before and after the reaction. In this reaction, the spectator ions are sodium and carbonate which remain in ionized form in the solution before and after the reaction.

Which statement best describes covalent bonding?
almond37 [142]

Answer:

Option C. Electrons are shared between two atoms

Explanation:

Covalent bonding is a type of bonding which exist between two non metals.

In this bonding, electrons are shared between the two atoms involved in order to attain a stable octet configuration.

This can be seen when hydrogen atom combine with chlorine atom to form hydrogen chloride as shown below:

H + Cl —> HCl

Hydrogen has 1 electron in it's outmost shell and it requires 1 electron to attain a stable configuration.

Chlorine has 7 electrons in it's outmost shell and requires 1 electron to attain a stable configuration.

During bonding, both hydrogen and chlorine will contribute 1 electron each to form bond, thereby attaining a stable configuration. The bond formed in this case is called covalent bond as both atoms involved shared electron to attain a stable configuration.

Calculate the number of moles of Cu in 3.8×10213.8×1021 atoms of Cu.
rosijanka [135]

Answer:

6.3×10⁻³ moles of Cu

Explanation:

The relation is, that 1 mol of particles are contained by 6.02×10²³ particles.

This is Avogadro's number that explains that: one mole determines the number of fundamental units that are contained in a constant number  but they do not depend on the type of material or the type of particle, and this quantity is 6.02 × 10²³

We can make a rule of three:

6.02×10²³ atoms are contained 1 in mol of Cu

Therefore, 3.8×10²¹ atoms will be contained in (3.8×10²¹ . 1) / NA = 6.3×10⁻³ moles

Sodium hydroxide, NaOH; sodium phosphate, Na3PO4; and sodium nitrate, NaNO3, are all common chemicals used in cleanser formulati
Sholpan [36]
Start by writing out molar mass of each component: 

1) NaOH= 22.99+16+1.01 --> 40 

2) Na₃PO₄= (22.99)3 + 94.97 + 64 --> 227.94

3) NaNO₃= 22.99 + 14 + 48 --> 84.99 

Now compare the mass of sodium with the rest of the substances: 

1) (22.99/40)100%= 57.475%

2) (68.97/227.94)/100%= 30.25% 

3) (22.99/84.99)/100%= 27.05%

As seen, the ordered list is: Sodium hydroxide, sodium phosphate and sodium nitrate. 

Hope I helped :)

Write a conversion factor that converts between moles of calcium ions in calcium phosphide, Ca3P2, and moles of Ca3P2.
cricket20 [7]

The conversion factor between moles of calcium ion and moles of Ca_3P_2 in  Ca_3P_2 would be 3 to 1.

<h3>Mole fraction</h3>

Ca_3P_2 if formed from 3 carbon atoms and 3 phosphate atoms according to the equation:

3Ca + 2P --- > Ca_3P_2

Thus, there are 3 moles of calcium in every 1 mole of  Ca_3P_2.

The conversion factor between moles of calcium and moles of  Ca_3P_2 will. therefore, be 3 to 1 or simply 3:1.
