Answer with explanation:

1) general word equation=acid + metal= salt + hydrogen gas

chemical/balanced equation= 2HCl+Mg=MgCl2+H2

2)The gas thus formed is an effervescent carbon di oxide when calcium chloride reacts with hydrochloric acid. the carbon di oxide gas also acts as an extinguisher for fires. Hence the burning candle is extinguished.

1) metal reacts with acid to produce hydrogen gas and salt

an example of the reaction will be
2Na+ 2HCl —> 2NaCl +H2

2) we know the metal in compound A is calcium as one of the compound formed is calcium chloride.

the gas that’s causing effervescent effect is CO2 as CO2 is non polar and does not mix with water hence appears as bubbles. there are 2 possible calcium compounds that can produce CO2 with addition of HCl.

those compounds are calcium carbonate (CaCO3) and Calcium Bicarbonate ( Ca(HCO3)2 )

reaction for both possible compounds
- CaCO3 + 2HCl —> CaCl2 + H2O + CO2
- Ca(HCO3)2 + 2HCl —> CaCl2 + 2H2O +2CO2

Consider a mixture of NaCl and NaNO3 that is 31.8% Na by mass. Calculate the percentage by mass of NaCl in the mixture.

lutik1710 [3]

<u>Answer:</u> The percentage by mass of NaCl in the mixture is 38.5 %

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the mass percentage of element in compound, we use the equation:

$\text{Mass percent of element}=\frac{\text{Mass of element}}{\text{Mass of compound}}\times 100$ .......(1)

<u>For NaCl:</u>

Mass of sodium element = 23 g

Mass of NaCl = 58.5 g

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$\text{Mass percent of sodium element}=\frac{23g}{58.5g}\times 100=39.32\%$

Mass fraction of sodium metal in NaCl = 0.3932

<u>For $NaNO_3$ :</u>

Mass of sodium element = 23 g

Mass of $NaNO_3$ = 85 g

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$\text{Mass percent of sodium element}=\frac{23g}{85g}\times 100=27.1\%$

Mass fraction of sodium metal in sodium nitrate = 0.271

Let us assume the mass fraction of NaCl in the mixture is 'x'

So, the mass fraction of $NaNO_3$ in the mixture will be '(1-x)'

We are given:

Percent by mass of Na in the mixture = 31.8 %

Mass fraction of Na in the mixture = 0.318

Evaluating the mass fraction of NaCl in the mixture:

$[(x\times 0.3932)+((1-x)\times 0.271)]=0.318$

x = 0.385

Percent by mass of NaCl in the mixture will be = $(0.385\times 100)=38.5\%$

Hence, the percentage by mass of NaCl in the mixture is 38.5 %

How does wood produce chemical energy?

Diano4ka-milaya [45]

Answer:

Wood, when dry, stores chemical energy. This chemical energy is released as the wood burns, and it is converted into heat, or thermal energy. This also produces light energy. As a result of burning, the wood turns into an entirely new substance - ashes.

The starship Voyager, like many other vessels of the newly designed 24th-century fleet, uses antimatter as fuel.(b) When the ant

Drupady [299]

When the antimatter is atomic antihydrogen, a small amount of it is mixed with excess atomic hydrogen (gathered from interstellar space during flight).

<h3>What is antimatter ?</h3>

According to contemporary physics, antimatter is described as being made up of the opposite particles from "ordinary" matter, or their "partners." Only a few nanograms of antiparticles have been created artificially, but tiny quantities of antiparticles are produced every day at particle accelerators and in natural processes like cosmic ray collisions and some types of radioactive decay. However, only a small portion of these antiparticles have been successfully bound together in experiments to form antiatoms. Antimatter has never been built in a macroscopic amount due to its extremely high cost, complexity in synthesis, and handling.

A particle and its antiparticle, such as a proton and an antiproton, theoretically have the same mass but the opposite electric charge and other variations in quantum numbers.
