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

How does the density of a hershey bar compare to the density of the a half bar?
anastassius [24]

The density would be the same for the whole bar as well as one half of the bar. Density is a identity I believe, by this I mean that it stays the same no matter how little or how much of the same substance you have. Since density = mass / volume, half the bar has half of the weight as well as half of the volume of the whole bar, making the density the same.

For example, a block weighs 10 grams and has a volume of 5 ml. the density would be d = 10/5 or, d = 2g/ml

Half of the block weighs 5 grams and has a volume of 2.5 ml. The density is d = 5/2.5, or, d = 2 g/ml.

See, although there are different amounts of the same substance, their density is the same.

A  substance can dissolve in another when they have thee same type of intermolecular interaction.

<h3>What is solubility?</h3>

The term solubility of a solute refers to the extent to which a solute dissolve in a solvent. We must know that a substance can dissolve in another when they have thee same type of intermolecular interaction.

Thus;

a) Octane (C8H18) mixes well with CCl4 because they are both non polar substances.

b) Methanol (CH3OH) is mixed with water in all ratios because the both are polar substances.

c) NaBr dissolves very poorly in acetone (CH3 ― CO ― CH3) because acetone is only slightly polar.
