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 happens to the mass of substances during a physical change?
Anna [14]

Here are the answers in order:

1. During a physical change the substance changes physically.

2. The law of conservation of mass is a law stating the conservation of mass cannot be higher than 46mg or lower than 32mg.

3. A hypothesis is a guess that you make before completing a science experiment, it can be considered a law because it is important to know why you are making the guess.

4. During a chemical change the mass is changing colors. This is a representation of a chemical change.

5. Oil is a non-renewable resource, so it cannot demonstrate the conservation of mass.

6. When the color of the substance has changed or when it explodes.

7. Reactants are the objects that react when in a chemical change.

8. If you follow the rule of not going higher than 46mg and not lower than 32mg then it will automatically follow this law.

Chemical Reactions Part One Video:

1. mass

2. erupt-ant

3. reactant

4. object

5. mixtures

6. molecules

7. color changed

Questions again:

1. A chemical reaction

2. A physical change

3. Because if it is no higher than 46mg and no lower than 32mg then it will follow on it's own.
