Select the correct answer. what is the mass of 1.72 moles of sodium nitrate? use the periodic table and the polyatomic ion resource. a. 85.0 g b. 91.2 g c. 146 g d. 273 g

C.   146 g

Explanation:

To calculate the moles, we use the equation:

Thus    

For sodium nitrate

moles = 1.72

Molar mass of sodium nitrate  = 85g/mol

Putting values in above equation, we get:

2fe + 3h2so4 -> fe2(so4)3 + 3h2

it is necessary to balance equations in order to get the proper amount of reactants as well as products in order not to make a miscalculation.

you cannot change the subscripts as that would change the substance itself. for instance, diatomic elements such as h2 only have the subscript two when a gas. another example would be so4, if you were to change the subscript, the element would no longer be sulfate.

we change the coefficients instead as that only changes the number of molecules rather than the substance itself.

hope this !

answer is: c. the experiment shows that the red substance experienced a chemical change.

this is chemical change (chemical reaction), because two new substances are formed (metalig liquid and gas), the atoms are rearranged and the reaction is followed by an energy change.

this is example of chemical decomposition.

chemical decomposition (analysis) is the separation of a single chemical compound into its two or more elemental parts or to simpler compounds.  

chemical decomposition is opposite of chemical synthesis.
