You find apiece of limestone on ahike. what substances are likely to have formed that rock?

Chemistry

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!

We can write the balanced equation for the synthesis reaction as 
     H2(g) + Cl2(g) → 2HCl(g)

We use the molar masses of hydrogen chloride gas HCl and hydrogen gas H2 to calculate for the mass of hydrogen gas H2 needed:
     mass of H2 = 146.4 g HCl *(1 mol HCl / 36.46 g HCl) * (1 mol H2 / 2 mol HCl) * 
                           (2.02 g H2 / 1 mol H2)                        
                        = 4.056 g H2

We also use the molar masses of hydrogen chloride gas HCl and chlorine gas CL2 to calculate for the mass of hydrogen gas H2:
     mass of CL2 = 146.4 g HCl *(1 mol HCl / 36.46 g HCl) * (1 mol Cl2 / 2 mol HCl) *
                             (70.91 g Cl2 / 1 mol Cl2)
                          = 142.4 g Cl2 

Therefore, we need 4.056 grams of hydrogen gas and 142.4 grams of chlorine gas to produce 146.4 grams of hydrogen chloride gas.

A vessel contains a mixture of gases. The mass of each gas used to make the mixture is known. Which of the following information
faltersainse [42]

Answer: The molar mass of each gas

Explanation:

Mole fraction is the ratio of moles of that component to the total moles of solution. Moles of solute is the ratio of given mass to the molar mass.

\text{Mole fraction of solute}=\frac{\text{Moles of solute}}{\text{Total Moles}}

Suppose if there are three gases A, B and C.

a) \text{Mole fraction of A}=\frac{\text{Moles of A}}{\text{ Moles of (A+B+C)}}

b) \text{Mole fraction of B}=\frac{\text{Moles of B}}{\text{ Moles of (A+B+C)}}

c) \text{Mole fraction of C}=\frac{\text{Moles of C}}{\text{ Moles of (A+B+C)}}

moles of solute =\frac{\text {given mass}}{\text {Molar mass}}

Thus if mass of each gas is known , we must know the molar mass of each gas to know the moles of each gas.

What is the process that changes the composition of rocks by dissolving them called?
Thepotemich [5.8K]

Answer:

Chemical weathering

Explanation:

This is a chemical weathering since chemical change is involved. water flows through the rock, it dissolve the rock particles, reacting with the minerals salts in the rock there by producing new substances, ultimately leading to wearing off of the rock particles
