Answer:
Mass = 99.8 g
Explanation:
Given data:
Mass of potassium nitride = ?
Mass of nitrogen produced = 10.65 g
Solution:
Chemical equation:
2K₃N→ 6K + N₂
Moles of nitrogen:
Number of moles = mass/ molar mass
Number of moles = 10.65 g / 28 g/mol
Number of moles = 0.38 mol
Now we will compare the moles of nitrogen with potassium nitride.
N₂ ; K₃N
1 : 2
0.38 : 2×0.38 =0.76
Mass of potassium nitride:
Mass = molar mass × number of moles
Mass = 131.3 g/mol × 0.76 mol
Mass = 99.8 g
Answer:
The chemical equation needs to be balanced so that it follows the law of conservation of mass.
Explanation:
All mixtures contain only one kind of atom.

Answer: 2.7 grams
Explanation:
According to the law of conservation of mass, mass can neither be created nor be destroyed. Thus the mass of products has to be equal to the mass of reactants. The number of atoms of each element has to be same on reactant and product side. Thus chemical equations are balanced.
Given: mass of sodium hydrogen carbonate = 3.4 g
mass of acetic acid = 10.9 g
Mass of reactants = mass of sodium hydrogen carbonate+ mass of acetic acid = 3.4 + 10.9= 14.3 g
Mass of reactants = Mass of products in reaction vessel + mass of carbon dioxide (as it escapes)
Mass of carbon dioxide = 14.3 - 11.6 =2.7 g
Thus the mass of carbon dioxide released during the reaction is 2.7 grams.
