Answer:

Na₂CO₃ · 10H₂O

Explanation:

The formula for sodium carbonate hydrate is:

Na₂CO₃ · xH₂O

The unknown "x" is the number of water molecules contained in the hydrate.

To find "x" we have to use the hydrogen percentage in the sample, 7.05 % H.

First we calculate the molecular weight of Na₂CO₃ · xH₂O:

molecular weight of Na₂CO₃ · xH₂O = 23 × 2 + 12 + 16 × 3 + 18x

molecular weight of Na₂CO₃ · xH₂O = 106 + 18x  g/mole

Now we devise the fallowing reasoning tanking in account 1 mole of Na₂CO₃ · xH₂O:

if in        106 + 18x grams of Na₂CO₃ · xH₂O we have 2x grams of hydrogen

then in  100 grams of Na₂CO₃ · xH₂O we have 7.05 grams of hydrogen

106 + 18x = (100 × 2x) / 7.05

106 + 18x = 28.4x

106 = 28.4x - 18x

106 = 10.4x

x = 106 / 10.4

x = 10.2 ≈ 10

The formula for the washing soda is Na₂CO₃ · 10H₂O.

Rank the following acids in order of increasing acid strength. Key: Weakening of hydrogen bond and stability of resulting anion.
raketka [301]

Explanation:

The given compounds are oxyacids and in these compounds more is the electronegativity of the central atom more will be its acidic strength.

This is because more is the electronegativity of the central atom more will be the polarity of OH bond. As a result, the compound can readily lose H^{+} ion.

Also, more is the electronegativity of central atom more will be the stability of conjugate base formed.

Thus, we can conclude that given compounds are arranged in increasing acid strength as follows.

       HOI < HOBr_{2} < HOCl_{3} < HOF

How many moles are there in 8.50 X 1024 molecules of sodium sulfate, Na2SO3?
DiKsa [7]
Hello!

To solve this question, we need to use the Avogadro's Number, which is a constant first discovered by Amadeo Avogadro, an Italian scientist. He discovered that in a mole of a substance, there are 6,02*10²³ molecules. Using this relationship, we apply the following conversion factor:

8,50* 10^{24}molecules* \frac{1 mol Na_2SO_3}{6,02* 10^{23}molecules}=14,12 molesNa_2SO_3

So, 8,50 * 10²⁴ molecules of Na₂SO₃ represent 14,12 moles of Na₂SO₃

Karolina [17]

Answer:

0.0011 mol/L.s

Explanation:

The average rate of disappearing of the reagent is the variation of the concentration of it divided by the time that this variation is being measured. The reaction rate, is proportional to the coefficient of the substance, so, for a generic reaction:

aA + bB --> cC + dD

rate = -(1/a)Δ[A]/Δt = -(1/b)Δ[B]/Δt = (1/c)Δ[C]/Δdt = (1/d)Δ[D]/dt

The minus sign is because of the reagent is desapering, so:

rate = -(1/2)*(0.0209 - 0.0300)/(10 - 6)

rate = 0.0011 mol/L.s

Keith_Richards [23]

Answer:

1) 0.009 61 g C; 2) 0.008 00 mol C

Step-by-step explanation:

You know that you will need a balanced equation with masses, moles, and molar masses, so gather all the information in one place.

M_r:     12.01               44.01

              C  + ½O₂ ⟶ CO₂

m/g:                            0.352

1) <em>Mass of C </em>

Convert grams of CO₂ to grams of C

44.01 g CO₂ = 12.01 g C

    Mass of C = 0.352 g CO₂ × 12.01 g C/44.01 g CO₂

    Mass of C = 0.009 61 g C

2) <em>Moles of C </em>

Convert mass of C to moles of C.

     1 mol C = 12.01 g C

Moles of C = 0.00961 g C × (1 mol C/12.01 g C)

Moles of C = 0.008 00 mol C

All the carbon comes from Compound A, so there are 0.008 00 mol C in Compound A.
