A mixture of caco3 and (nh4)2co3 is 60.7 % co3 by mass. part a find the mass percent of caco3 in the mixture.

Chemistry

blagie [28]3 years ago

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 is the molarity of a solution containing 8.9 g of NaOH in 550. mL of NaOH solution?
bulgar [2K]

Answer:

0.4 M

Explanation:

Molarity is defined as moles of solute, which in your case is sodium hydroxide,  

NaOH

, divided by liters of solution.

molarity

=

moles of solute

liters of solution

Notice that the problem provides you with the volume of the solution, but that the volume is expressed in milliliters,  

mL

.

Moreover, you don't have the number of moles of sodium hydroxide, you just have the mass in grams. So, your strategy here will be to

determine how many moles of sodium hydroxide you have in that many grams

convert the volume of the solution from milliliters to liters

So, to get the number of moles of solute, use sodium hydroxide's molar mass, which tells you what the mass of one mole of sodium hydroxide is.

The volume of the solution in liters will be

"acid is responsible for the odor in rancid butter. a solution of 0.25 m butyric acid has a ph of 2.71. what is the ka for"
Salsk061 [2.6K]

Answer:- The Ka for the acid is 1.53*10^-^5 .

Solution:- In general, monoprotic acid could be represented by HA. The dissociation equation for the ionization of HA is written as:

HA(aq)\rightarrow H^+(aq) + A^-(aq)

Now, we make the ice table for this equation as:

HA(aq)\rightarrow H^+(aq) + A^-(aq)

I 0.25 0 0

C -X +X +X

E (0.25 - X) X X

where, I stands for initial concentration, C stands for change in concentration and E stands for equilibrium concentration.

X is the change in concentration and from ice table it's same as the concentration of hydrogen ion that is calculated from given pH.

Ka = [H^+][A^-]\frac{1}{HA}

Where, Ka is the acid ionization constant. Let's plug in the values.

Ka = \frac{X^2}{0.25-X}

Let's calculate the value of X first using the equation:

pH = -log[H^+][/tex]

on taking antilog ob above equation we get:

[H^+]=10^-^p^H

[H^+]=10^-^2^.^7^1

[H^+] = 0.00195

So, X = 0.001195

Let's plug in this value of X in the equation:-

Ka=\frac{(0.00195)^2}{0.25-0.00195}

Ka=1.53*10^-^5

So, the value of Ka for butyric acid is 1.53*10^-^5 .

Gaseous ICl (0.20 mol) was added to a 2.0 L flask and allowed to decompose at a high temperature:
Ne4ueva [31]

Answer:

The Kc is 1.36 (but this is not an option, may be the options are wrong, or may be I was .. Thanks!)

Explanation:

Let's think all the situation.

               2 ICl(g)   ⇄   I₂(g)    +    Cl₂(g)

Initially      0.20              -               -

Initially I have only 0.20 moles of reactant, and nothing of products. In the reaction, an x amount of compound has reacted.

React          x              x/2               x/2

Because the ratio is 2:1, in the reaction I have the half of moles.

So in equilibrium I will have

           (0.20 - x)          x/2             x/2

Notice that I have the concentration in equilibrium so:

0.20 - x = 0.060

x = 0.14

So in equilibrium I have formed 0.14/2 moles of I₂ and H₂ (0.07 moles)

Finally, we have to make, the expression for Kc and remember that must to be with concentration in M (mol/L).

As we have a volume of 2L, the values must be /2

Kc = ([I₂]/2 . [H₂]/2) / ([ICl]/2)²

Kc = (0.07/2 . 0.07/2) / (0.060/2)²

Kc = 1.225x10⁻³ / 9x10⁻⁴

Kc = 1.36
