14 grams of calcium oxide.

Thermal decomposition of 25 grams of calcium carbonate would result in the production of 14 grams of calcium oxide.

We know that,

CaCO₃ → CaO + CO₂

First, the following quantities react and are generated according to the stoichiometry of the reaction, which is the relationship between the amounts of reagents and products in a chemical reaction:

  • CaCO₃: 1 mole
  • CaO: 1 mole
  • CO₂: 1 mole

Being:

  • Ca: 40 g/mole
  • C: 12 g/mole
  • O: 16 g/mole

<h3>the chemicals taking part in the reaction have the following molar masses:</h3>
  • CaCO₃: 40 g/mole + 12 g/mole + 3*16 g/mole= 100 g/mole
  • CaO: 40 g/mole + 16 g/mole= 56 g/mole
  • CO₂: 12 g/mole + 2*16 g/mole=  44 g/mole

The following mass amounts of the compounds involved in the reaction then react and are created, according to the reaction's stoichiometry:

  • CaCO₃: 1 mole* 100 g/mole= 100 g
  • CaO: 1 mole* 56 g/mole= 56 g
  • CO₂: 1 mole*  44 g/mole= 44 g

<h3>The rule of three can then be utilized: </h3>

How much calcium oxide will be produced if, according to the stoichiometry of the reaction, 100 grams of calcium carbonate CaCO3 result in 56 grams of calcium oxide CaO and 25 grams of CaCO3?

mass of calcium oxide = \frac{25 grams of CaCO3 + 56 grams CaO}{100 grams of CaCO3}

mass of calcium oxide= 14 grams

14 grams of calcium oxide would be produced by thermal decomposition of 25 grams of calcium carbonate.

Compare the distance between the molecules of a gas in a very small container with the distance between the molecules of the sam
kvv77 [185]
Gases take the shape of their container. When you have a large container, the spaces between molecules (particles) can be further apart than if they were close together. In small containers, the particles are forced to be closer together, or compressed.

Think of it like a pep rally in a gym v.s. a classroom. In the gym, everyone has a bit of wiggle room. With the same number of people in a classroom, everyone would need to be packed in there. This can also explain why a smaller pot over boils from steam before a larger one does, even if the amount of water is the same.

An enzyme with molecular weight of 310 kDa undergoes a change in shape when the substrate binds. This change can be characterize
oee [108]

Answer:

(a) r = 6.26 * 10⁻⁷cm

(b) r₂ = 6.05 * 10⁻⁷cm

Explanation:

Using the sedimentation coefficient formula;

s =  M(1-Vρ) / Nf ; where s is sedimentation coefficient, M is molecular weight, V is specific volume of protein, p is density of the solvent, N is Avogadro number, f if frictional force = 6πnr, n is viscosity of the medium, r is radius of particle

s = M ( 1 - Vρ) / N*6πnr

making r sbjct of formula, r =  M (1 - Vρ) / N*6πnrs

Note: S = 10⁻¹³ sec, 1 KDalton = 1 *10³ g/mol, I cP = 0.01 g/cm/s

r = {(3.1 * 10⁵ g/mol)(1 - (0.732 cm³/g)(1 g/cm³)} / { (6.02 * 10²³)(6π)(0.01 g/cm/s)(11.7 * 10⁻¹³ sec)

r = 6.26 * 10⁻⁷cm

b. Using the formula r₂/r₁ = s₁/s₂

s₂ = 0.035 + 1s₁ = 1.035s₁

making r₂ subject of formula; r₂ = (s₁ * r₁) / s₂ = (s₁ * r₁) / 1.035s₁

r₂ = 6.3 * 10⁻⁷cm / 1.035

r₂ = 6.05 * 10⁻⁷cm

After 1 min, three radioactive nuclei remain from an original sample of six. Is it valid to conclude that t₁/₂ equals 1 min? Is
Harrizon [31]

Three of them may have decayed more quickly or more slowly than they should have according to the likelihood at that particular moment. However, suppose we have a lot of radioactive new Clyde's, say six times 10 to the 12, and we have three times 10 to the 12 in a minute. The rate may then be averaged out because there are a sufficient number of radioactive new Clyde's. Furthermore, we can say with confidence that the half life is one minute.

<h3>What is radioactivity?</h3>

Radioactivity, as its name suggests, is the act of generating radiation without any external cause. An atomic nucleus that is unstable for whatever reason does this by "wanting" to give up some energy in order to change its configuration to one that is more stable. Modern physics spent a lot of time in the first half of the 20th century figuring out why this occurs, which led to a pretty solid understanding of nuclear decay by 1960. A nucleus with too many neutrons will produce a negative beta particle, which will convert one of the neutrons into a proton. A nucleus with too many protons will emit positrons, which are positively charged electrons that turn protons into neutrons.

J. Explain how an atom's valence electron configuration determines its place on the periodic table.​
Darya [45]

Answer:

Elements having same valence electrons are placed in <u>same group.</u>

Explanation:

First, let's start with some basic concepts of modern periodic table:

1. Modern Periodic table : It is the arrangement of element in the increasing order of their atomic numbers

The Modern periodic table is divided into Periods and groups .

Periods : These are the horizontal rows. There are seven periods in the periodic table . Period 1 has 2 element. Period two and three has 8 elements , period 4 and 5 have 18 elements and the period 6 and 7 have 32 elements.

Same period have same number of atomic orbital(Shell)

Group : The group is the vertical columns . There are 18 groups in the modern periodic table.Those element which have same group number will also have same number of electron in their outermost shell. The number of electron in the outermost shell determines the valency of the element.

So, elements showing same valency are placed in same group.

All alkali are place in group 1 and have 1 valance electron in the outermost shell
