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

Keith_Richards [23]

Answer:

1.586x10^-9

Explanation:

To make a multiplication in scientific notation we need to multiply the coefficients and sum the exponents:

Coefficients: 2.600 * 6.1000 = 15.86

Exponents: -5 + (-5) = -10

The result is:

15.86x10^-10

As the scientific notation must be given with only 1 number in the left of the point:

<h3>1.586x10^-9</h3>
