(a) Write the dissolution reaction for solid Na2CO3 below. (Use the lowest possible coefficients. Include states-of-matter under

Andreas93 [3]

<u>Answer:</u>

<u>For a:</u> The chemical equation for the dissolution of sodium carbonate is $Na_2CO_3(s)\rightarrow Na_2CO_3(aq.)$

<u>For b:</u> The net acid-base reaction is $CO_3^{2-}(aq.)+H_2O(l)\rightarrow OH^-(aq.)+HCO_3^-(aq.)$

<u>Explanation:</u>

<u>For a:</u>

Dissolution reaction is defined as the reaction in which a solid compound gets dissolved in water to form aqueous solution.

The chemical equation for the dissolution of sodium carbonate follows:

$Na_2CO_3(s)\rightarrow Na_2CO_3(aq.)$

Ionization reaction is defined as the reaction in which an ionic compound dissociates into its ions when dissolved in aqueous solution.

The chemical equation for the ionization of sodium carbonate follows:

$Na_2CO_3(aq.)\rightarrow 2Na^+(aq.)+CO_3^{3-}(aq.)$

<u>For b:</u>

Now, the anion formed which is $CO_3^{2-}$ reacts with water to form conjugate acid.

The chemical equation for the reaction of anion with water follows:

$CO_3^{2-}(aq.)+H_2O(l)\rightarrow OH^-(aq.)+HCO_3^-(aq.)$

Hence, the net acid-base reaction of the anion formed and water is written above.

Which type of change is represented?

pentagon [3]

The correct answer is A. The image shows a nuclear fission. This takes place in any of the heavy nuclei after capture of a neutron. This is the opposite of nuclear fusion. In this case, nuclei are broken down into two.
