<u>Answer:</u>
<u>For a:</u> The chemical equation for the dissolution of sodium carbonate is 
<u>For b:</u> The net acid-base reaction is 
<u>Explanation:</u>
Dissolution reaction is defined as the reaction in which a solid compound gets dissolved in water to form aqueous solution.
The chemical equation for the dissolution of sodium carbonate follows:

Ionization reaction is defined as the reaction in which an ionic compound dissociates into its ions when dissolved in aqueous solution.
The chemical equation for the ionization of sodium carbonate follows:

Now, the anion formed which is
reacts with water to form conjugate acid.
The chemical equation for the reaction of anion with water follows:

Hence, the net acid-base reaction of the anion formed and water is written above.
It would be: 1s2, 2s2, 2p4
Answer:
positive charge
Explanation:
Protons are positively charged
To find average atomic mass you multiply the mass of each isotope by its percentage, and then add the values up.
35 * 0.90 + 37 * 0.08 + 38 * 0.02 = 35.22
Average atomic mass closest to 35.22 amu.
Answer:
0.72 g of the lower oxide gave 0.8 g of higher oxide when oxidised. ... Thus, 90g of lower oxide contains as much metal as 100g of higher oxide, i.e., 80g (given). Hence, 80g of metal combines with 10g of oxygen in the lower oxide and 20g of oxygen in the higher oxide.
