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

explain how both hydrogen and carbon have achieved stability by bonding with each other to form methane ​
Naya [18.7K]

A carbon iota can bond with four other iotas and is just like the four-hole wheel, whereas an oxygen iota, which can bond only to two, is just like the two-hole wheel.

Why helium is duplet ??​
Llana [10]

Answer:

The outermost shell of helium for example is filled with only two electrons. Hydrogen and lithium become stable by acquiring the electronic configuration of the nearest inert gas, which is helium. This is the duplet (or duet) rule.
