What is the % composition of Carbon in Chromium (iii) Carbonate

Step 1 - Discovering the ionic formula of Chromium (III) Carbonate

Chromium (III) Carbonate is formed by the ionic bonding between Chromium (III) (Cr(3+)) and Carbonate (CO3(2-)):

Cr^{3+}+CO^{2-}_3\rightarrow Cr_2(CO_3)_3

Step 2 - Finding the molar mass of the substance

To find the molar mass, we need to multiply the molar mass of each element by the number of times it appears in the formula of the substance and, finally, sum it all up.

The molar masses are 12 g/mol for C; 16 g/mol for O and 52 g/mol for Cr. We have thus:

\begin{gathered} C\rightarrow3\times12=36 \\  \\ O\rightarrow9\times16=144 \\  \\ Cr\rightarrow2\times52=104 \end{gathered}

The molar mass will be thus:

M=36+104+144=284\text{ g/mol}

Step 3 - Finding the percent composition of carbon

As we saw in the previous step, the molar mass of Cr2(CO3)3 is 284 g/mol. From this molar mass, 36 g/mol come from C. We can set the following proportion:

\begin{gathered} 284\text{ g/mol ---- 100\%} \\ 36\text{ g/mol ----- x} \\  \\ x=\frac{36\times100}{284}=\frac{3600}{284}=12.7\text{ \%} \end{gathered}

The percent composition of Carbon is thus 12.7 %.

What would indicate that a physical change takes place when copper is drawn into wire?
Lina20 [59]

Any change in which the composition of material does not change that is it retains its identity but changes its state or form is known as a physical change.

The properties of metal to draw them into wires is known as ductility.  When a copper is drawn into wire the only change that occurs is change in its shape and size no change will take place into its composition that is the wires are still possessing the properties of copper metal. Thus, a physical change takes place when copper is drawn into wire.

Mg(OH)2+2 HCI = MgCI2+ H2O
In-s [12.5K]

Answer:

Mg(OH)2 + 2HCI ⇒ MgCI2 + 2H2O

Explanation:

In order to balance a chemical equation you need to make sure both sides of the equations are equal.

Mg(OH)2 + 2HCI = MgCI2 + H2O

Mg = 1

Oh = 2

HCI = 2

Products:

Mg = 1

CI = 2

H = 2

O = 1

2H20 = 1 × 2 = 2

2 × 2 = 4

2HCI

1 × 2 = 2

Mg(OH)2 + 2HCI ⇒ MgCI2 + 2H2O

Hope this helps.
