5 0

The thermal decomposition of calcium carbonate will produce 14 g of calcium oxide. The stoichiometric ratio of calcium carbonate to calcium oxide is 1:1, therefore the number of moles of calcium carbonate decomposed is equal to the number of moles of calcium oxide formed.

Further Explanation:

To solve this problem, follow the steps below:

Write the balanced chemical equation for the given reaction.
Convert the mass of calcium carbonate into moles.
Determine the number of moles of calcium oxide formed by using the stoichiometric ratio for calcium oxide and calcium carbonate based on the coefficient of the chemical equation.
Convert the number of moles of calcium oxide into mass.

Solving the given problem using the steps above:

STEP 1: The balanced chemical equation for the given reaction is:

$CaCO_{3} \rightarrow \ CaO \ + \ CO_{2}$

STEP 2: Convert the mass of calcium carbonate into moles using the molar mass of calcium carbonate.

$mol \ CaCO_{3} \ = 25 \ g \ CaCO_{3} \ (\frac{1 \ mol \ CaCO_{3}}{100.0869 \ g \ CaCO_{3}})\\ \\\boxed {mol \ CaCO_{3} \ = 0.2498 \ mol}$

STEP 3: Use the stoichiometric ratio to determine the number of moles of CaO formed.

For every mole of calcium carbonate decomposed, one more of a calcium oxide is formed. Therefore,

$mol \ CaO \ = 0.2498 \ mol$

STEP 4: Convert the moles of CaO into mass of CaO using its molar mass.

$mass \ CaO \ = 0.2498 \ mol \ CaO \ (\frac{56.0774 \ g \ CaO}{1 \ mol \ CaO})\\ \\mass \ CaO \ = 14.008 \ g$

Since there are only 2 significant figures in the given, the final answer must have the same number of significant figures.

Therefore,

$\boxed {mass \ CaO \ = 14 \ g}$

What gas law applies to aerosol cans being stored in a cool place?

svetlana [45]

Don't really know if this is what your asking but P1/T1= P2/T2 should show how the pressure varies with temperature (V is left out because it's constant since the gas is trapped in an aerosol can). As the temperature rises the pressure rises and if it gets too high then the can explodes, which is why it should be stored in a cool place. There's also PV=nRT might be kind of hard to find moles (n) though.

Draw the structure of the neutral product formed in the reaction of dimethyl malonate and methyl vinyl ketone.

Dmitriy789 [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

The reaction between dimethyl malonate which is an active methylene group with an (∝, β-unsaturated carbonyl compound) i.e methyl vinyl ketone is known as a Micheal Addition reaction. The reaction mechanism starts with the base attack on the β-carbon to remove the acidic ∝-hydrogens and form a carbanion. The carbanion formed(enolate ion) attacks the methyl vinyl ketone(i.e. a nucleophilic attack at the β-carbon) to give a Micheal addition product, this is followed by the protonation to give the neutral product.

Imagine that you run this experiment and that the initial change in pressure is 0.0023 atm/s. what is the initial reaction rate?

svet-max [94.6K]

$\text{reaction rate} = 9.6 \times 10^{-5} \; \text{mol}\cdot\text{L}^{-1} \cdot \text{s}^{-1}$

Explanation:

Concentration $c = n / V$ ;

The reaction see a $0.0023 \; \text{atm}$ change in pressure per second. By the ideal gas law, this quantity would correspond to a change in concentration, $n/V$ of

$c = n / V = P / (n \cdot R) = 0.0023 / ((273.15 + 20) \times 0.0821 ) = 9.6 \times 10^{-5} \; \text{mol}$

where the ideal gas constant $R = 0.0821 \; \text{L} \cdot \text{atm} \cdot \text{mol}^{-1} \cdot \text{K}^{-1}$ .

By definition, $\text{reaction rate} = \Delta \text{concentration} / \Delta\text{time}$

Therefore, for this particular reaction

$\text{rate} = 9.6 \times 10^{-5} \; \text{mol} / (1 \; \text{s} ) = 9.6 \times 10^{-5} \; \text{mol} \cdot \text{L}^{-1} \cdot \text{s}^{-1}$
