How do you determine whether an unknown substance is a carbonate or bicarbonate when comparing the mass of the substance before and after heating?

when bicarbonate is heated it decomposes into the carbonate, one water and one carbon dioxide. it is this loss of mass that will enable you to determine the identity of the anion in your unknown. make balanced equation. go moles to grams on each side using atomic mass then divide mass of carbonate by mass of bicarbonate.... aka product by reactant and if larger then 100 then it's a carbonate and subtract 100 from your answer and that is how much you gained... if smaller than multiply by 100% and then subtract your answer from 100 and that is how much you lost...

How do you determine the identity of an unknown substance by observing its mass and volume?

All you can do with mass and volume is to determine the density of the substance. density = mass / volume or p=m/v after you determine the density, you can look on any density table and find the substance you are looking for. good look. -julio


Why is it important to identify an unknown substance?

Because the substance could potentially be extremely toxic or harmful. You must never use an unknown substance in experiments without identifying it first, many tests can be undertaken to determine the cation and anion. These tests include the flame test, solubility tests, precipitate reaction tests and conductivity tests. These do vary depending on the unknown substance.
