The mixture contains:

CaCO3 + (NH4)2CO3 in which the amount of carbonate CO3 = 60.7% by mass

Let, the total mass = 100 grams

Mass of CaCO3 = x grams

Mass of (NH4)2CO3 = y grams

Thus, x + y = 100 ------------(1)

Mass of CO3 = 60.7% = 60.7 g

Molar mass of CO3 = 60 g/mol

Total # moles of CO3 = 60.7 g/60 g.mol-1 = 1.012 moles

The total moles of CO3 comes from CaCO3 and (NH4)2CO3. Therefore,

moles CaCO3 + moles (NH4)2CO3 = 1.012

mass CaCO3/molar mass CaCO3 + mass (NH4)2 CO3/molar mass = 1.012

x/100 + y/96 = 1.012---------(2)

based on equation 1 we can write: y = 100-x

x/100 + (100-x)/96 = 1.012

x = 71.2 g

Mass of CaCO3 = 71.2 g

Which solute would be more effective at lowering the freezing point of water: MgCl2 and KNO3? Explain.

Phantasy [73]

Answer:

AlCl₃.

Explanation:

Adding solute to water causes depression of the boiling point.

The depression in freezing point (ΔTf) can be calculated using the relation:

ΔTf = i.Kf.m,

where, ΔTf is the depression in freezing point.

i is the van 't Hoff factor.

van 't Hoff factor is the ratio between the actual concentration of particles produced when the substance is dissolved and the concentration of a substance as calculated from its mass. For most non-electrolytes dissolved in water, the van 't Hoff factor is essentially 1.

Kf is the molal depression constant of water.

m is the molality of the solution (m = 1.0 m, for all solutions).

(1) NaCl:

i for NaCl = no. of particles produced when the substance is dissolved/no. of original particle = 2/1 = 2.

∴ ΔTb for (NaCl) = i.Kb.m = (2)(Kf)(1.0 m) = 2(Kf).

(2) MgCl₂:

i for MgCl₂ = no. of particles produced when the substance is dissolved/no. of original particle = 3/1 = 3.

∴ ΔTb for (MgCl₂) = i.Kb.m = (3)(Kf)(1.0 m) = 3(Kf).

(3) NaCl:

i for KBr = no. of particles produced when the substance is dissolved/no. of original particle = 2/1 = 2.

∴ ΔTb for (KBr) = i.Kb.m = (2)(Kf)(1.0 m) = 2(Kf).

(4) AlCl₃:

i for AlCl₃ = no. of particles produced when the substance is dissolved/no. of original particle = 4/1 = 4.

∴ ΔTb for (CoCl₃) = i.Kb.m = (4)(Kf)(1.0 m) = 4(Kf).

So, the ionic compound will lower the freezing point the most is: AlCl₃

Water flows over Niagara Falls at the average rate of 2,400,000 kg/s, and the average height of the falls is about 50 m. Knowing

Andre45 [30]

Answer:

Power, $P=1.176\times 10^9\ W$

No of bulbs = 78400000

Explanation:

We have,

Water flows over Niagara Falls at the average rate of 2,400,000 kg/s, it mean it is mass per unit time i.e. m/t.

It falls from a height of 50 m

The gravitational potential energy of falling water is given by :

P = mgh

Power is equal to the work done divided by time taken. So,

$P=\dfrac{W}{t}\\\\P=\dfrac{mgh}{t}\\\\P=\dfrac{m}{t}\times gh$

So,

$P=2400000\times 9.8\times 50\\\\P=1.176\times 10^9\ W$

Let there are n bulbs that could power 15 W LED. It can be calculated by dividing the power by 15. So,

$n=\dfrac{1.176\times 10^9}{15}\\\\n=78400000\ \text{bulbs}$

It means that the number of bulbs are 78400000.

What mass of oxygen is needed for the complete combustion of 4.60×10−3g of methane?

sp2606 [1]

First step in answering the question is to establish a balanced chemical reaction equation. More specifically, a combustion chemical equation.

CH4 + 2O2 ---> CO2 + 2H20

Then using dimension analysis:

$4.60*10^{-3} g CH4 ( \frac{moleCH4}{16 g CH4}) * ( \frac{2mole O2}{mole CH4}) * ( \frac{32 g O2}{mole O2} ) = 0.0184 g O_{2}$
