Question

Hi !

Calculate the number of oxygen atom in 8.4 g of sodium bicarbonate.


Plzzz...

Answer 1

Hi there !

_______________________

Given :

Sodium bicarbonate

It's chemical formula is NaHCO3

_______________________

Molecules mass of NaHCO3 is

Na -- 1 × 23 = 23

H  -- 1 × 1     =   1

C  -- 1 × 12   = 12

O -- 3 × 16  = 48

Adding all these ( 23 + 1 + 12 + 48 )

=> NaHCO3 = 84 g

Now, 84 g of NaHCO3 contains 1 mole.

That means ;

84 g of NaHCO3 = 1 mole.

1 g of NaHCO3 = 1 / 84 mole

8.4 g of NaHCO3 = 1 / 84 × 8.4

=> 0.1 mole.

Now,

1 mole of NaHCO3 = 3 mole of oxygen atom.

0.1 mole of NaHCO3 = 3 × 0.1 mole of oxygen atom.

0.1 mole of NaHCO3 = 0.3 mole of oxygen atom.

Therefore,

No. of oxygen atom

=> 0.3 × 6.023 × 10²³

∴ 1.8069 × 10²³    [Ans]
