Answer:

\boxed {\boxed {\sf 0.541 \  mol \ Na_2CO_3}}

Explanation:

We are asked to find how many moles of sodium carbonate are in 57.3 grams of the substance.

Carbonate is CO₃ and has an oxidation number of -2. Sodium is Na and has an oxidation number of +1. There must be 2 moles of sodium so the charge of the sodium balances the charge of the carbonate. The formula is Na₂CO₃.

We will convert grams to moles using the molar mass or the mass of 1 mole of a substance. They are found on the Periodic Table as the atomic masses, but the units are grams per mole instead of atomic mass units. Look up the molar masses of the individual elements.

  • Na:  22.9897693 g/mol
  • C: 12.011 g/mol
  • O: 15.999 g/mol

Remember the formula contains subscripts. There are multiple moles of some elements in 1 mole of the compound. We multiply the element's molar mass by the subscript after it, then add everything together.

  • Na₂ = 22.9897693 * 2= 45.9795386 g/mol
  • O₃ = 15.999 * 3= 47.997 g/mol
  • Na₂CO₃= 45.9795386 + 12.011 + 47.997 =105.9875386 g/mol

We will convert using dimensional analysis. Set up a ratio using the molar mass.

\frac {105.9875386  \ g \ Na_2CO_3}{1 \ mol \ Na_2CO_3}

We are converting 57.3 grams to moles, so we multiply by this value.

57.3 \ g \ Na_2CO_3} *\frac {105.9875386  \ g \ Na_2CO_3}{1 \ mol \ Na_2CO_3}

Flip the ratio so the units of grams of sodium carbonate cancel.

57.3 \ g \ Na_2CO_3} *\frac {1 \ mol \ Na_2CO_3}{105.9875386  \ g \ Na_2CO_3}

57.3 } *\frac {1 \ mol \ Na_2CO_3}{105.9875386 }

\frac {57.3 }{105.9875386 } \ mol \ Na_2CO_3

0.5406295944 \ mol \ Na_2CO_3

The original measurement of moles has 3 significant figures, so our answer must have the same. For the number we found that is the thousandth place. The 6 in the ten-thousandth place to the right tells us to round the 0 up to a 1.

0.541 \  mol \ Na_2CO_3

There are approximately <u>0.541 moles of sodium carbonate</u> in 57.3 grams.

Which 2 elements when combined NOT alloys?
Volgvan

Answer:

Oxygen and sulfur

Explanation:

Alloys consist of metals fused together sometimes with additional components, such as carbon, to prevent metals from corrosion.

Oxygen and sulfur are two compounds consisting of non-metal atoms, O and S. Combining oxygen with sulfur would actually produce sulfur dioxide, a gas, in contrast to a metallic substance that is fused with some other metal or carbon.

That's the reason why combination of sulfur and oxygen wouldn't produce an alloy: it would produce a gas.

The final acceptor for hydrogen ions in aerobic cellular respiration is
Whitepunk [10]
The appropriate response is oxygen. Cellular respiration is the procedure cells use to make vitality. Cells in our body join glucose and oxygen to make ATP and carbon dioxide. Oxygen is utilized as an electron acceptor inside the electron transport tie of vigorous breath to create adenosine triphosphate or ATP. This compound is a fundamental part in intracellular vitality exchange.
