Answer: ACID TEST

Explanation: Acid test is a test carried out to determine the presence of acid in a substance or a liquid. Acid tests are used to tests the composition of a ROCK,the test makes use of DILUTE HYDROCHLORIC ACID to test and classify rocks,it is capable of detecting CARBONATE MINERALS or other materials.

The process involves the ADDITION OF 5% TO 10% of HYDROCHLORIC ACID IN DROPS ON A Rock particle,the RELEASE OF BUBBLES OF CARBONDIOXIDE SIGNALS THE PRESENCE OF CARBONATE, DOLOMITE OR CALCITE MINERALS.

Answer:

Check explanation

Explanation:

There are two ways to test for calcite in rocks. Calcite is popularly known as calcium carbonate and it is found almost everywhere. There are many minerals that looks like calcite/calcium carbonates, so we there is a need for a good test for proper identification.

The tests are:

(1). ACID TEST: the calcite/calcium carbonate reacts vigorously with Hydrogen Chloride acid,HCl with the evolution of carbondioxide,CO2. The equation of reaction is given below;

CaCO3 + 2 HCl ---------> CaCl2 + CO2 + H2O.

(2). DOUBLE REFRACTION METHOD: There are other minerals in the rock that can react with Hydrochloric acid,HCl to evolve Carbondioxide,CO2(although their response to HCl differs). There is a need for a confirmatory test. This double refraction method is a confirmatory test. In this test, one will pass light through the calcite, if the light splits into two rays and reflected twice then, it is a calcite.

How many oxygen atoms are there in 582 grams of caffeine (CH10N402, 194 g/mol)? Avogadro's Number: 1 mole = 6.02 x 1023 species
Sergeu [11.5K]

Answer:

3.61 * 10 ²⁴atoms.

Explanation:

Moles is denoted by given mass divided by the molecular mass ,

Hence ,

n = w / m

n = moles ,

w = given mass ,

m = molecular mass .

From the question ,

w = 582 g

m = 194 g/mol

The number of moles can be calculated from the above formula , and substituting the respective values ,

n = w / m  = 582 g / 194 g/mol  =  3 mol

In the molecular formula of caffeine ,

<u>In 1 mole of caffeine their are - 2 moles of Oxygen. </u>

Therefore , in  3 moles of Caffeine there will be 6 moles of oxygen.

As well know ,

one mole of any substance contains 6.023*10²³ atoms,

Therefore , in  6 mol of oxygen =  6 * 6.023*10²³ atoms  = 3.61 * 10 ²⁴atoms.
