Given what we know, we can confirm that John Dalton was the first person to show strong empirical evidence for the existence of atoms.
<h3>Who was John Dalton?</h3>
- He was a renowned scientist with knowledge in many fields.
- He was known to be a chemist, meteorologist, and physicist.
- He proposed the atomic theory and carried out experiments to provide supporting evidence.
Therefore, given his proposal of the atomic theory and the experiments he carried out to provide evidence to support his claims, we can confirm that John Dalton was the first person to show strong empirical evidence for the existence of atoms.

Carbon dioxide is a gaseous molecule made up of the elements, C and O. Each mole of carbon dioxide has one mole C and two mole oxygen atoms.
Molar mass of carbon dioxide (
)=
Percentage by mass of carbon = 
Percentage by mass of oxygen = 
Therefore C is 27.3 % and O is 72.7 % by mass in 1 mol CO
The balanced equation :
2NaHCO₃⇒CO₂ + Na₂CO₃+H₂O
<h3>Further explanation</h3>
Given
Reaction
NaHCO(s) --> _CO2+_NaCO(s)+_H2O
Required
The balanced equation
Solution
Maybe the equation should be like this :
NaHCO₃⇒CO₂ + Na₂CO₃+H₂O
Give a coefficient
NaHCO₃⇒aCO₂ + bNa₂CO₃+cH₂O
Make an equation
Na, left=1, right=2b⇒2b=1⇒b=1/2
H, left=1, right=2c⇒2c=1⇒c=1/2
C, left=1, right=a+b⇒a+b=1⇒a+1/2=1⇒a=1/2
The equation becomes :
NaHCO₃⇒1/2CO₂ +1/2Na₂CO₃+1/2H₂O x2
2NaHCO₃⇒CO₂ + Na₂CO₃+H₂O
