Baking soda (NaHCO3, 84.0 g/mol) requires acids from other ingredients to generate the carbon dioxide needed to make bread rise. The following equation describes this reaction, where HB is some unspecified acid. If 20.4 g of baking soda are used in a recipe and enough acid is present for a complete reaction, how many moles of carbon dioxide are generated? HB + NaHCO3 ⟶ H2O + CO2 + NaB
a. 0.243 mol
b. 0.204 mol
c. 0.334 mol
d. 0.232 mol
e. 0.464 mol

d. temperate deciduous forest

"among the transition metal elements, manganese and zinc have a slight lowering of electronegativities. the reason behind this is that the nuclear charges of these elements are slightly weaker than the other transition metal elements due to the way their valence electrons are filled up. both manganese and zinc have their valence electrons filled up to the 4th shell with 1 pair of electrons (4s2) completely occupying it. although the electrons in the 3rd shell (3d) are yet to be paired since the outer most shell is filled up, the ability of the nucleus to attract electrons is lessened. hence,   the electronegativity (or the ability to attract electrons) is lessened."
