In a reaction, 5.3 g of sodium carbonate reacted with 6 g of acetic acid. The products were 2.2 g of carbon dioxide, 0.9 g water and 8.2 g of sodium acetate. Show that these observations are in agreement with the law of conservation of mass. sodium carbonate + acetic acid → sodium acetate + carbon dioxide + water

Equal masses of two samples of charcoal A and B are burnt separately and the resulting carbon dioxide are collected in two vessels. The radioactivity of ^14 C is measured for both the gas samples. The gas from the charcoal A gives 2100 counts per week and the gas from the charcoal A gives 2100 counts per week and the gas from the charcoal B gives 1400 counts per week. Find the age difference between the two samples. Half-life of ^14 C = 5730 y .

Despite the fact that aluminium is a reactive metal, it is a stable in air as well as in water. This is due to the formation of thin layer of oxide on the surface of aluminium metal which makes it passive for further attack. The layer is so useful, that in industry, it is purposely deposited by an electrolytic process called anodising. Reaction of aluminium with oxygen is highly exothermic and is called thermite reaction. 2Al_((s)) +(3)/(2) O_(2(g)) rarr Al_(2)O_(3(s)) Delta_(f) H^(Ө) = -1670 kJmol^-1 This reaction finds application for welding of metal and in the metallurgical extraction of many metals from their oxides. The limitation is that to start the reaction, high temperature is required for which an ignition mixture is required. Anodising can be done by elecrolysing dil H_(2)SO_(4) with Al as anode. This results in :
