product sodium carbonate and calcium nitrate according to the following reactions?

2 Na(NO3) + Ca(CO3) → Na2(CO3) + Ca(NO3)2

Respuesta :

Answer:

2.41 × 10^23 formula units

Explanation:

The equation for the reaction is;

2 Na(NO₃) + Ca(CO₃) → Na₂(CO₃) + Ca(NO₃)₂

We are given;

Mass of calcium carbonate as 20.0 g

We need to determine the number of formula units of sodium nitrate that will react with 20 g of calcium carbonate.

Step 1: Calculate the number of moles of Calcium carbonate

To calculate the number of moles we divide mass by the molar mass;

Number of moles =  Mass ÷ Molar mass

Molar mass of CaCO₃ = 100.087 g/mol

Number of moles = 20 g ÷ 100.087 g/mol

                             = 0.20 moles

Step 2: Moles of Sodium nitrate that reacted

From the equation, 2 moles of NaNO₃ reacts with 1 mole of CaCO₃

Thus, the mole ratio of NaNO₃ to CaCO₃ is 2 : 1

Therefore; Number of moles of NaNO₃ = Moles of CaCO₃ × 2

                                                                 = 0.20 moles × 2

                                                                 = 0.40 moles

Step 3: Calculate formula units of NaNO₃

We need to know that 1 mole of a compound contains formula units equivalent to the Avogadro's constant.

That is; 1 mole of a compound contains 6.022 × 10^23 formula units

Therefore; 0.4 moles of NaNO₃ will have;

= 0.4 moles × 6.022 × 10^23 formula units

= 2.4088 × 10^23 formula units

= 2.41 × 10^23 formula units

Therefore, the number of formula units of sodium nitrate required will be 2.41 × 10^23 formula units

The study of chemicals and bonds is called chemistry. The reaction is a displacement reaction, in this type of reaction, one element displaces the other.

The correct answer is[tex]2.41 * 10^{23}[/tex]formula units

The equation for the following question is as follows:-

[tex]2 Na(NO_3) + Ca(CO_3) ---> Na_2(CO_3) + Ca(NO_3)_2[/tex]  

Moles:-

  • The mole is the base unit of amount of substance in the International System of Units.
  • It is defined as exactly 6.02214076×10²³ elementary entities, which may be atoms, molecules, ions, or electrons. Wikipedia

The data is given in the question is as follows:-

  • Mass of calcium carbonate as 20.0 g

We have to find the number of formula units of sodium nitrate that will react with 20 g of calcium carbonate.


The formula is used to solve the question.

[tex]Number\ of\ moles = \frac{Mass} { Molar mass}[/tex]

  • Molar mass of CaCO₃ = 100.087 g/mol

Number of moles = [tex]\frac{20} {100.087}[/tex]

= 0.20 moles

From the equation, 2 moles of [tex]NaNO_3[/tex] reacts with 1 mole of [tex]CaCO_3[/tex]  Thus, the mole ratio of[tex]NaNO_3 to CaCO_3[/tex]2 : 1

Therefore; the Number of moles of NaNO₃ =

[tex]Moles of CaCO_3* 2\\= 0.20 moles * 2\\= 0.40 moles[/tex]

1 mole of a compound contains [tex]6.022 *10^{23}[/tex]  NaNO₃ will have:-

[tex]0.4 moles * 6.022 * 10^{23} formula\ units= 2.4088 * 10^{23} formula \ units= 2.41 * 10^{23} formula\ units[/tex]

Hence, the correct answer is [tex]2.41 * 10^{23}[/tex]formula units.
