Na2co3 + hcl → co2 + h2o + naclconsider the above unbalanced equation. for this reaction, how many ml of a 2 m solution of na2co3 are required to produce 11.2 l of co2 at stp?

250mL

Explanation:

The first step in this kind of question is to balance the chemical equation:

Na₂CO₃ + 2HCl → CO₂ + H₂O + 2NaCl

The question asks to figure out how many mL of the reactant Na₂CO₃ are required to produce 11.2 L of CO₂ . To solve this we will use the molar ratio between these two chemical species, that is how many moles of Na₂CO₃ are required to produce one mol of CO₂. We answer this by looking at the equation: the molar ratio is 1 to 1.

So first we need to convert the 11.2 L at STP of CO₂ to moles. CO₂ is a gas and STP means standard temperature and pressure (0°C and 1 atm). The volume of one mol of gas at STP is 22.4 L. So we can convert the 11.2 L to moles using this value:

Now that we know how many moles of CO₂ are produced, we can calculate the moles of  Na₂CO₃ required using the molar ratio 1:1. To produce one mol of CO₂ we need one mol of Na₂CO₃, hence to produce 0.5 moles of CO₂ we need 0.5 moles of Na₂CO₃.

Now, the question asks how many mL of a 2M solution of Na₂CO₃ are required. M stands for molarity which is a concentration unit meaning moles per liter, hence, 2M means 2 moles per liter of solution (which means in 1000mL of solution there are 2 moles of Na₂CO₃ because 1L=1000mL). So knowing this we must calculate in how many mL of the solution there are 0.5 moles of Na₂CO₃:

0.5 mol Na₂CO₃ × = 250 mL

250 mL of a 2M solution of Na₂CO₃ are required to produce 11.2 L of CO₂ at STP

answer:

the answer is 6 valence electrons.

explanation:

valence is the # of electrons on the outer most shell of an atom.

oxygen has 6.

although, the valency of oxygen is 2, because it only needs to make 2 covalent bonds, or gain 2 electrons, to achieve the stable octet configuration of a noble gas.

that's it!
