Answer:
Explanation: This reaction is called a synthesis reaction. This is because a synthesis reaction is when two or more reactants combine/react together to form a single product. The two reactants carbon (C) and oxygen (O2) reacted together to form one single product: carbon dioxide (CO2)
Strong Acid cause it has a very low pH
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
The answer to the question is- Fe2O3
