<u>Answer:</u> The number of moles of carbon dioxide produced are 6.16\times 10^{-4}mol and the mass of calcium carbonate is 61.6 mg

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the moles of carbon dioxide gas, we use the equation given by ideal gas which follows:

PV=nRT

where,

P = pressure of the gas = 738.0 mmHg  

V = Volume of the gas = 15.5 mL = 0.0155 L   (Conversion factor: 1 L = 1000 mL)

T = Temperature of the gas = 25^oC=[25+273]K=298K

R = Gas constant = 62.3637\text{ L.mmHg }mol^{-1}K^{-1}

n = number of moles of carbon dioxide gas = ?

Putting values in above equation, we get:

738.0mmHg\times 0.0155L=n\times 62.3637\text{ L.mmHg }mol^{-1}K^{-1}\times 298K\\\\n=\frac{738\times 0.0155}{62.3637\times 298}=6.16\times 10^{-4}mol

For the given chemical equation:

CaCO_3(s)+2H^+(aq.)\rightarrow Ca^{2+}(aq.)+CO_2(g)+H_2O(l)

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

1 mole of carbon dioxide gas is produced from 1 mole of calcium carbonate

So, 6.16\times 10^{-4}mol of carbon dioxide will be produced from = \frac{1}{1}\times 6.16\times 10^{-4}=6.16\times 10^{-4}mol of calcium carbonate

  • To calculate the mass for given number of moles, we use the equation:

\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}

Molar mass of calcium carbonate = 100 g/mol

Moles of calcium carbonate = 6.16\times 10^{-4}mol

Putting values in above equation:

6.16\times 10^{-4}mol=\frac{\text{Mass of calcium carbonate}}{100g/mol}\\\\\text{Mass of calcium carbonate}=(6.16\times 10^{-4}mol\times 100g/mol)=6.16\times 10^{-2}g

Converting this into milligrams, we use the conversion factor:

1 g = 1000 mg

So, 6.16\times 10^{-2}g\times \frac{1000mg}{1g}=61.6mg

Hence, the number of moles of carbon dioxide produced are 6.16\times 10^{-4}mol and the mass of calcium carbonate is 61.6 mg

1) PV=nRT
P=738.0 mmHg
V=15.5mL=0.0155 L
T=273+25=298 K
R=62.36 L*mmHg*K⁻¹mol⁻¹
n=PV/RT
n=(738.0 mmHg *0.0155 L)/(62.36 L*mmHg*K⁻¹mol⁻¹*298 K)= =0.000616=6.16*10⁻⁴ mol

2)  From the equation of the reaction 
        1 mol CaCO3 gives 1 mol CO2,
so 6.16*10⁻⁴ mol CaCO3 ---->  6.16*10⁻⁴ mol CO2

Molar mass CaCO3 =M(Ca)+M(C)+3*M(O)= 40.1+12.0+3*16.0 =100.1 g/mol
6.16*10⁻⁴ mol CaCO3 * 100.1 g/mol =617*10⁻⁴ g =0.0617 g = 61.7mg

Wear _______________________ when handling batteries, because they can explode or leak.
Basile [38]

The answer is: b. Safety glasses and acid-resistant gloves.

Battery acid (sulfuric acid) has pH = 0.

Sulfuric acid (H₂SO₄) is a strong acid, it means that the solution of sufuric acid is more acidic (pH<7) than water (pH = 7).

Chemical dissociation of sulfuric acid in water:  

H₂SO₄(aq) → 2H⁺(aq) + SO₄²⁻(aq).  

Sulfuric acid can come in contact with eyes and hands, so it is important to wear safety glasses and acid-resistant gloves.

Mixtures of benzene and cyclohexane exhibit ideal behavior. A solution was created containing 1.5 moles of liquid benzene and 2.
goblinko [34]

Answer:

Vapour pressure of cyclohexane at 50°C is 490torr

Vapour pressure of benzene at 50°C is 90torr

Explanation:

Using Raoult's law, pressure of a solution is defined by the sum of the product sbetween mole fraction of both solvents and pressure of pure solvents.

P_{solution} = X_{A}P^0_{A}+X_{B}P^0_{B}

In the first solution:

X_{cyclohexane}=\frac{2.5mol}{2.5mol+1.5mol} =0.625

X_{benzene}=\frac{1.5mol}{2.5mol+1.5mol} =0.375

340torr = 0.625P^0_{A}+0.375P^0_{B} <em>(1)</em>

For the second equation:

X_{cyclohexane}=\frac{3.5mol}{3.5mol+1.5mol} =0.700

X_{benzene}=\frac{1.5mol}{3.5mol+1.5mol} =0.300

370torr = 0.700P^0_{A}+0.300P^0_{B}<em>(2)</em>

Replacing (2) in (1):

340torr = 0.625P^0_{A}+0.375(1233.3-2.333P^0_{A})

340torr = 0.625P^0_{A}+462.5-0.875P^0_{A}

-122.5torr = -0.250P°A

P^0_{A} = 490 torr

<em>Vapour pressure of cyclohexane at 50°C is 490torr</em>

And for benzene:

370torr = 0.700*490torr+0.300P^0_{B}

P^0_{B}=90torr

<em>Vapour pressure of benzene at 50°C is 90torr</em>
