A 0.5376 g sample of an unknown compound is found to contain 0.3044 g of carbonate. Could this compound be calcium carbonate?

Calcium carbonate has the formula: CaCO3
From the periodic table:
mass of calcium = 40 grams
mass of carbon = 12 grams
mass of oxygen = 16 grams
Therefore,
molar mass of CaCO3 = 40 + 12 + 3(16) = 100 grams
molar mass of carbonate = 12 + 3(16) = 60 grams

One mole of calcium carbonate contains one mole of carbonate. Therefore, 100 grams of CaCO3 contains 60 grams of CO3.
If the 0.5376 grams of the unknown substance is CaCO3, then the amount of carbonate will be:
amount of carbonate = (0.5376*60) / 100 = 0.32256 grams

Based on the above calculations, the sample is not CaCO3

One of the great upcoming sports in the Olympics is the sport of curling. Write a brief essay on the uses of momentum collisions
Usimov [2.4K]

The Olympic sport of curling is one that is practically designed to show Physics in motion. Curling is a sport in which two teams alternate sliding smoothed stone pucks down an ice rink court with the intent to seat their stone closest to the center of the target (called the house). Each team has eight stones, meaning that the team that goes second has the (could be) massive advantage of sending the last stone.  
The mass of the stone is important in that the more massive a stone (m) and the speed at which it travels (v) dictates it's momentum (momentum=mxv). As the curling stone slides down the ice (which is relatively frictionless unless acted upon by other players or objects) and having inertia, continues in it's straight course (again, unless acted upon by outside forces). If the stone hits another stone, it transfers some of its momentum in an elastic collision to that stone and the original stone is deflected in a calculable manner.   
Collisions are used in the game to either clear opponent's stones from the house or out of their defensive positions, or to make adjustments to one's stones present in the house, all based on the momentum of the moving stone, and its transference.

Consider the chemical equilibrium of a soap that is present in its aqueous solution. C17H35COONa(aq) mc017-1.jpg C17H35COO–(aq)
MAVERICK [17]

Answer : Option B) The equilibrium will shift to the left to such an extent that it leads to the precipitation of solid soap.

Explanation : The equilibrium will tend to shift to left because addition of sodium chloride salt will lead to precipitate the soap as a product. The volume increase in the sodium ions because of sodium chloride addition will generate the more amount of solid soap.

Consider the following voltaic cell:(b) In which half-cell does oxidation occur?
damaskus [11]

At the anode, half-cell oxidation occurs in a voltaic cell.

<h3>Voltaic Cell Principle</h3>

A voltaic cell generates electricity due to the Gibbs free energy of spontaneous redox processes occurring inside the cell, which is the basis for the voltaic cell's operating principle.

Two half-cells plus a salt bridge make up the voltaic cell. An electrolyte-immersed metallic electrode is present on each side of the cell. These two half-cells are wired together to form a connection to a voltmeter.

<h3>Voltaic Cell Parts</h3>
  • Copper makes comprises the cathode of a photovoltaic cell. This electrode serves as the cell's positive terminal, where reduction takes place.
  • Anode: Zink metal makes up this electrode. It creates the cell's negative electrode, where oxidation takes place.
  • Oxidation and reduction are divided into two discrete parts in two half-cells.
  • Salt Bridge: It contains the electrolytes needed to finish the circuit in the voltaic cell.
  • The flow of electrons between the electrodes occurs via the external circuit.

Calculate the amount of heat deposited on the skin of a person burned by 1.00g of steam at 100.0C. Skin temperature is 37C. ΔHva
seraphim [82]

The amount of heat deposited on the skin is 2.26 kJ.

<h3>What is the amount of heat given off by 1.0 g of steam?</h3>

The amount of heat given off by steam is determined using the formula below:

Quantity of heat = mass * latent heat of vaporization.

Moles of steam = 1.0/18

Heat = 1.0/18 * 40.7

Heat deposited = 2.26 kJ

In conclusion, the quantity of heat is determined from the latent heat of vaporization and the moles of steam.
