How many grams of carbon are contained in 2.25 g of potassium carbonate, K2CO3

Chemistry
1 answer:
romanna [79]1 year ago
5 0

The mass of carbon contained in 2.25 g of potassium carbonate, K₂CO₃ is 0.196 g.

<h3>Molecular mass of potassium carbonate</h3>

The molecular mass of potassium carbonate, K₂CO₃ is calculated as follows;

M = K₂CO₃

M = (39 x 2) + (12) + (16 x 3)

M = 138 g

mass of carbon in potassium carbonate, K₂CO₃ is = 12 g

The mass of carbon contained in 2.25 g of potassium carbonate, K₂CO₃ is calculated as follows;

138 g ------------ 12 g of carbon

2.25 g ------------ ?

= (2.25 x 12) / 138

= 0.196 g

Thus, the mass of carbon contained in 2.25 g of potassium carbonate, K₂CO₃ is 0.196 g.

Why the is ratio of magnesium ions to chloride ions in MgCl2 is 1:2?
Monica [59]
You should read up on Proust's law, better known as the Law of Definite Proportions. This is a chemical law that defines your question more generally, on why the ratio of elements and ions are always fixed.

Basically, this compound Magnesium(II) Chloride is MgCl2 because it has the same number of protons, neutrons, and electrons all the way. This defines the properties of the compound or atom.

Do you think it matters if you
vovikov84 [41]

Answer:

yes I do think they mean the same thing

Explanation:

150 grams and 150 grams is the same thing and adding 0 to the end of a decimal does not change its value, you could even put 150.0000000 grams and it would still be equivalent to the other numbers

How many moles of sodium carbonate are contained by 57.3g of sodium carbonate
Lady_Fox [76]

Answer:

\boxed {\boxed {\sf 0.541 \  mol \ Na_2CO_3}}

Explanation:

We are asked to find how many moles of sodium carbonate are in 57.3 grams of the substance.

Carbonate is CO₃ and has an oxidation number of -2. Sodium is Na and has an oxidation number of +1. There must be 2 moles of sodium so the charge of the sodium balances the charge of the carbonate. The formula is Na₂CO₃.

We will convert grams to moles using the molar mass or the mass of 1 mole of a substance. They are found on the Periodic Table as the atomic masses, but the units are grams per mole instead of atomic mass units. Look up the molar masses of the individual elements.

  • Na:  22.9897693 g/mol
  • C: 12.011 g/mol
  • O: 15.999 g/mol

Remember the formula contains subscripts. There are multiple moles of some elements in 1 mole of the compound. We multiply the element's molar mass by the subscript after it, then add everything together.

  • Na₂ = 22.9897693 * 2= 45.9795386 g/mol
  • O₃ = 15.999 * 3= 47.997 g/mol
  • Na₂CO₃= 45.9795386 + 12.011 + 47.997 =105.9875386 g/mol

We will convert using dimensional analysis. Set up a ratio using the molar mass.

\frac {105.9875386  \ g \ Na_2CO_3}{1 \ mol \ Na_2CO_3}

We are converting 57.3 grams to moles, so we multiply by this value.

57.3 \ g \ Na_2CO_3} *\frac {105.9875386  \ g \ Na_2CO_3}{1 \ mol \ Na_2CO_3}

Flip the ratio so the units of grams of sodium carbonate cancel.

57.3 \ g \ Na_2CO_3} *\frac {1 \ mol \ Na_2CO_3}{105.9875386  \ g \ Na_2CO_3}

57.3 } *\frac {1 \ mol \ Na_2CO_3}{105.9875386 }

\frac {57.3 }{105.9875386 } \ mol \ Na_2CO_3

0.5406295944 \ mol \ Na_2CO_3

The original measurement of moles has 3 significant figures, so our answer must have the same. For the number we found that is the thousandth place. The 6 in the ten-thousandth place to the right tells us to round the 0 up to a 1.

0.541 \  mol \ Na_2CO_3

There are approximately <u>0.541 moles of sodium carbonate</u> in 57.3 grams.
