Give three features of cardiac muscles.
Features of cardiac muscles
(1) Heart muscles (cardiovascular muscles) are round and hollow, stretched and uninucleated.
(2) They are striated muscle fibres.
(3) They are compulsory muscles, and can't be constrained by us.
Diagrammatically show the difference between the three types of muscle fibres.

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