On Earth it is relatively rare—5.2 ppm by volume in the atmosphere. Most terrestrial helium<span> present today is created by the natural radioactive decay of heavy radioactive elements (thorium and uranium, although there are other examples), as the alpha particles emitted by such decays consist of </span>helium<span>-4 nuclei.</span>
Answer:
204.8g
Explanation:
The number of moles of a substance is related to its mass and molecular mass as follows:
mole (n) = mass (m) ÷ molar mass (MM)
According to this question, 3.50 moles of sodium chloride (NaCl) is added to a food.
Molar mass of NaCl = 23 + 35.5
= 58.5g/mol
Using mole = mass/molar mass
Mass = molar mass × mole
Mass = 58.5g/mol × 3.5mol
Mass = 204.75
Mass = 204.8grams.
Therefore, 204.8grams of NaCl or common salt was added to the food.
Answer:
2NaCl(l) => 2Na(s) + Cl₂(g)
Explanation:
Electrolysis of melt NaCl to form sodium (Na) metal and chlorine (Cl₂) gas.
This is a class of reaction called 'Decomposition Rxns'. For what it's worth, there are 6 distinct compound types that undergo breakdown by decomposition. The acronym C O A C H E can help remember them.
C - Carbonates => CaCO₃(s) => CaO + CO₂
O - Oxides of Metals => 2Fe₂O₃(s) => 4Fe°(s) + 3O₂(g)
A - Acids (Oxoacids) => H₂CO₃(aq) => CO₂(g) + H₂O(l)
C - Chlorates, Bromates & Iodates => 2KClO₃(s) => 2KCl(s) + 3O₂(g)
H - Hydroxides => Ca(OH)₂(s) => CaO(s) + H₂O(l)
E - Electrolysis => see above electrolysis of NaCl(l)
The answer would be hypotheis since its an theory that isnt proven yet which would involve a scientist to expertiment to make the hypothesis true or valid
