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

Is it possible to change the strength of an acid? Explain how you would do this.
Verdich [7]

Answer:

Reducing or increasing the amount of H+ ions / hydronium (H3O+) ions

Explanation:

To reduce the pH (reducing the strength of the acid) can be done by adding a base (including a conjugate base such as bicarbonate ion) which will absorb the H+ ions either through adsorption or reaction.

Adding more H+ decreases the pH of the acid making it stronger. This can be done by adding HCL that will dissociate and increase the H+ ions.

A bike lost 20% of its value after the first year, its value after the first year is $1039. Calculate the original price of the
musickatia [10]

Answer:

$1246.90

Explanation:

Since the bike lost 20%% of it's value and it now currently at $$1039, we have to do 20% * $1039 to find the amount of money lost. 20%*1039=207.8. We have to add it up to find the original value so 1039+207.8=$1246.8
