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 of the following transitions represent the emission of a photon with the largest energy?
s2008m [1.1K]

Answer:

n=6 to n=3 (B)

Explanation:

Energy of an electron present in the n^{th} orbit is directly proportional to n^{2} .Hence a transistion from one orbit to another orbit emits an energy proportional to the difference of their squares of the orbits. that is if an electron travels from orbit n1 to orbit n2 then it emits an energy corresponding to n_{1} ^{2} -n_{2} ^{2}.So in the above question the highest energy emission occurs when an electron moves from n=6 to n=3.(Highest difference of energy levels).

Question 4
vazorg [7]

Answer:

H(aq) + NO3 (aq) + HF(aq)

Explanation:

In the given mixture of HNO3 (Nitric Acid) and HF (hydrofluoric acid) in water  the major species present are H(aq) + NO3 (aq) + HF(aq).

On the reaction of  HNO3 (Nitric Acid) and HF (hydrofluoric acid) in water  , it will give a polar solution and will form a homogenous mixture.

Hence, the correct answer is "H(aq) + NO3 (aq) + HF(aq)".
