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

What volume of ammonia gas, measured at 547.9 mmHg and 27.6oC, is required to produce 8.98 g of ammonium sulfate according to th
Studentka2010 [4]

Answer:

4.65 L of NH₃ is required for the reaction

Explanation:

2NH₃(g)  +  H₂SO₄(aq)  → (NH₄)₂SO₄(s)

We determine the ammonium sulfate's moles that have been formed.

8.98 g . 1mol / 132.06 g = 0.068 moles

Now, we propose this rule of three:

1 mol of ammonium sulfate can be produced by 2 moles of ammonia

Therefore, 0.068 moles of salt were produced by (0.068 . 29) / 1 = 0.136 moles of NH₃. We apply the Ideal Gases Law, to determine the volume.

Firstly we do unit's conversions:

27.6°C +273 =  300.6 K

547.9 mmHg . 1 atm / 760 mmHg = 0.721 atm

V = ( n . R . T ) / P → (0.136 mol . 0.082 L.atm/mol.K . 300.6K) / 0.721 atm

V = 4.65 L

Consider the balanced chemical reaction when phosphorus and iodine react to produce phosphorus triodide: 2 P(s) + 3 I2(g) → 2 PI
melamori03 [73]

Answer:

Percent yield of PI3 = 95.4%

Explanation:

This is the reaction:

2P (s) + 3I2 (g) > 2PI3 (g)

Let's determine the moles of iodine that has reacted.

58.6 g / 253.8 g/mol = 0.231 mol

Ratio is 3:2. Let's make a rule of three to state the moles produced at 100 % yield reaction.

3 moles of I2 react to make 2 moles of PI3

0.231 moles of I2 would make (0.231 .2) / 3 = 0.154 moles of PI3

As we have produced 0.147 moles let's determine the percent yield.

(Yield produced / Theoretical yield) . 100 > (0.147 / 0.154) . 100 = 95.4%
