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,

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

An artifact contains one-fourth as much carbon-14 as the atmosphere. how old is the artifact

Nikolay [14]

<h3>Answer;</h3>

= 11,460 years

<h3>Explanation;</h3>

The half life of Carbon-14 is 5,730 years . Half life is the time taken by a radioactive material to decay by half of its original mass. Therefore, it would take a time of 5730 years for a sample of 100 g of carbon-14 to decay to 50 grams

The initial amount of carbon-14 in this case was 1 whole; thus; 

1 → 1/2 →1/4

To contain 1/4 of the value, 2 half-lives have passed. 

But, 1 half life = 5,730 years

Therefore; The artifact is is therefore: 2 x 5,730 

 = 11,460 years

600.0 mL of air is at 20.0 c what is the volume at 60.0

pogonyaev

682mL

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Initial volume of air = 600mL

Initial temperature = 20°C

Final temperature = 60°C

Unknown:

Final volume = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem, we apply Charles's law';

Charles's law states that "at constant pressure, the volume of a given mass of gas is directly proportional to its temperature. "

Mathematically;

$\frac{V_{1} }{T_{1} } = \frac{V_{2} }{T_{2} }$

V₁ is the initial volume of air

T₁ is the initial temperature of air

V₂ is the final volume of air

T₂ is the final temperature of air

To proceed in solving this problem, we need to convert the given temperature to Kelvin;

T K = 273 + T°C

T₁ = 273 + 20 = 293K

T₂ = 273 + 60 = 333K

now input the parameters;

$V_{2} = \frac{V_{1} }{T_{1} } x T_{2} = \frac{600}{293 } x 333$

V₂ = 682mL

Determine the resulting pH when 75 mL of 0.05M HBr is reacted with 74 mL of 0.075 M KOH

Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Answer:

pH = 12.08

Explanation:

H⁺ + OH⁻ → H₂O

First we calculate how many moles of each substance were added, using the given volume and concentration:

HBr ⇒ 0.05 M * 75 mL = 3.75 mmol HBr

KOH ⇒ 0.075 M * 74 mL = 5.55 mmol KOH

As HBr is a strong acid, it dissociates completely into H⁺ and Br⁻ species. Conversely, KOH dissociates completely into OH⁻ and K⁺ species.

As there are more OH⁻ moles than H⁺ moles (5.55 vs 3.75), we calculate how many OH⁻ moles remain after the reaction:

5.55 - 3.75 = 1.8 mmoles OH⁻

With that number of moles and the volume of the mixture, we calculate [OH⁻]:

[OH⁻] = 1.8 mmol / (75 mL + 74 mL) = 0.0121 M

With [OH⁻], we calculate the pOH:

pOH = -log[OH⁻] = 1.92

With the pOH, we calculate the pH:

pH = 14 - pOH

pH = 12.08
