Limestone is mainly made up of calcium carbonate, CaCO3. When it is heated, it breaks down to form calcium oxide and carbon dioxide. Calcium oxide reacts with water to produce calcium hydroxide. But if u wanna know how it is formed? It's formed by erosion and weathering which is a type of 'Sedimentary Rock'. Erosion and weathering, carried rocks and end up at the sea or ocean. Which is the end way to go! At there, rocks combined by adding more and more just under the sea. The combination of rocks made it harden. First, it was just small little eroded particles end up at the sea. But at last, it became a very hard rock which isn't easy to break!

Classify the following reaction according to the five basic reaction types:
joja [24]

Answer:

a. single replacement

Explanation:

Chemical equation:

Cd + H₂SO₄    →    CdSO₄ + H₂

In given reaction Cd replace the hydrogen and form cadmium sulfate and hydrogen gas.

Single replacement:

It is the reaction in which one elements replace the other element in compound.

AB + C → AC + B

Other options are incorrect because,

Combustion:

In combustion reaction substances are burn in the presence of oxygen and form carbon dioxide and water.

Synthesis reaction:

It is the reaction in which two or more simple substance react to give one or more complex product.

A + B  →  AB

Double replacement:

It is the reaction in which two compound exchange their ions and form new compounds.

AB + CD → AC +BD

The radioisotope radon-222 has a half-life of 3.8 days. How much of a 198.6 g sample of radon-222 would be left after approximat
bagirrra123 [75]
The radon-222 sample has a half-life of 3.8 days, and we are asked how many times would the mass divide in half after 23 days. First we calculate the amount of times division occurs by taking the number of days and dividing that by the number of days for one half-life to occur: 23/3.8 = 6.05.

We have 198.6 grams of sample, and we are going to divide it in half 6 times to determine how much of it remains after 23 days:
198.6/2 = 99.3 grams
99.3/2 = 49.65 grams
49.65/2 = 24.83 grams
24.83/2 = 12.41 grams
12.41/2 = 6.21 grams
6.21/2 = 3.1 grams

Therefore, we are left with 3.1 grams of radon-222 after 23 days if one half-life equals to 3.8 days.

25 g of NH, is mixed with 4 moles of O, in the given reaction:
FromTheMoon [43]

Answer:

a. NH3 is limiting reactant.

b. 44g of NO

c. 40g of H2O

Explanation:

Based on the reaction:

4NH₃(g) + 5O₂(g) → 4NO(g) + 6H₂O(l)

4 moles of ammonia reacts with 5 moles of oxygen to produces 4 moles of NO and 6 moles of water.

To find limiting reactant we need to find the moles of each reactant and using the balanced equation find which reactant will be ended first. Then, with limiting reactant we can find the moles of each reactant and its mass:

<em>a. </em><em>Moles NH3 -Molar mass. 17.031g/mol-</em>

25g NH3*(1mol/17.031g) = 1.47moles NH3

Moles O2 = 4 moles

For a complete reaction of 4 moles of O2 are required:

4mol O2 * (4mol NH3 / 5mol O2) = 3.2 moles of NH3.

As there are just 1.47 moles, NH3 is limiting reactant

b. Moles NO:

1.47moles NH3 * (4mol NO/4mol NH3) = 1.47mol NO

Mass NO -Molar mass: 30.01g/mol-

1.47mol NO * (30.01g/mol) = 44g of NO

c. Moles H2O:

1.47moles NH3 * (6mol H2O/4mol NH3) = 2.205mol H2O

Mass H2O -Molar mass: 18.01g/mol-

2.205mol H2O * (18.01g/mol) = 40g of H2O
