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

What volume is occupied by 0.109 molmol of helium gas at a pressure of 0.98 atmatm and a temperature of 307 K
KATRIN_1 [288]

Answer:

2.8 L

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Number of mole (n) = 0.109 mole

Pressure (P) = 0.98 atm

Temperature (T) = 307 K

Gas constant (R) = 0.0821 atm.L/Kmol

Volume (V) =?

The volume of the helium gas can be obtained by using the ideal gas equation as follow:

PV = nRT

0.98 × V = 0.109 × 0.0821 × 307

0.98 × V = 2.7473123

Divide both side by 0.98

V = 2.7473123 / 0.98

V = 2.8 L

Thus, the volume of the helium gas is 2.8 L.

A mysterious white powder could be powdered sugar (C12H22O11), cocaine (C17H21NO4), codeine (C18H21NO3), norfenefrine (C8H11NO2)
rodikova [14]

Norfenefrine (C₈H₁₁NO₂).

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

We will solve a case related to one of the colligative properties, namely freezing point depression.

The freezing point of the solution is the temperature at which the solution begins to freeze. The difference between the freezing point of the solvent and the freezing point of the solution is called freezing point depression.

\boxed{ \ \Delta T_f = T_f(solvent) - T_f(solution) \ } \rightarrow \boxed{ \ \Delta T_f = K_f \times molality \ }

<u>Given:</u>

A mysterious white powder could be,

  • powdered sugar (C₁₂H₂₂O₁₁) with a molar mass of 342.30 g/moles,
  • cocaine (C₁₇H₂₁NO₄) with a molar mass of 303.35 g/moles,
  • codeine (C₁₈H₂₁NO₃) with a molar mass of 299.36 g/moles,
  • norfenefrine (C₈H₁₁NO₂) with a molar mass of 153.18 g/moles, or
  • fructose (C₆H₁₂O₆) with a molar mass of 180.16 g/moles.

When 82 mg of the powder is dissolved in 1.50 mL of ethanol (density = 0.789 g/cm³, normal freezing point −114.6°C, Kf = 1.99°C/m), the freezing point is lowered to −115.5°C.

<u>Question: </u>What is the identity of the white powder?

<u>The Process:</u>

Let us identify the solute, the solvent, initial, and final temperatures.

  • The solute = the powder
  • The solvent = ethanol
  • The freezing point of the solvent = −114.6°C
  • The freezing point of the solution = −115.5°C

Prepare masses of solutes and solvents.

  • Mass of solute = 82 mg = 0.082 g
  • Mass of solvent = density x volume, i.e., \boxed{ \ 0.789 \ \frac{g}{cm^3} \times 1.50 \ cm^3 = 1.1835 \ g = 0.00118 \ kg  \ }

We must prepare the solvent mass unit in kg because the unit of molality is the mole of the solute divided by the mass of the solvent in kg.

The molality formula is as follows:

\boxed{ \ m = \frac{moles \ of \ solute}{kg \ of \ solvent} \ } \rightarrow \boxed{ \ m = \frac{mass \ of \ solute \ (g)}{molar \ mass \ of \ solute \times kg \ of \ solvent} \ }

Now we combine it with the formula of freezing point depression.

\boxed{ \ \Delta T_f =  K_f \times \frac{mass \ of \ solute \ (g)}{molar \ mass \ of \ solute \times kg \ of \ solvent} \ }

It is clear that we will determine the molar mass of the solute (denoted by Mr).

We enter all data into the formula.

\boxed{ \ -114.6^0C - (-115.5^0C) = 1.99 \frac{^0C}{m} \times \frac{0.082 \ g}{Mr \times 0.00118 \ kg} \ }

\boxed{ \ 0.9 = \frac{1.99 \times 0.082}{Mr \times 0.00118} \ }

\boxed{ \ Mr = \frac{0.16318}{0.9 \times 0.00118} \ }

We get \boxed{ \ Mr = 153.65 \ }

These results are very close to the molar mass of norfenefrine which is 153.18 g/mol. Thus the white powder is norfenefrine.
