s superscript 0 subscript question mark beta. Which is the missing value that will balance the equation?
-1
0
+1
+2
-1
0
+1
+2
2 answers:
Answer:
+1
Explanation:
For the equation to be balanced, the total mass number and the total atomic number on both side of the equation but be equal.
This is illustrated:
For the mass number:
Left side: 22
Right side: 22 + 0 = 22
For the atomic number:
Left side: 11
Right side: 10 + x
11 = 10 + x
Collect like terms
x = 11 - 10
x = 1

Answer:
Approximately 75%.
Explanation:
Look up the relative atomic mass of Ca on a modern periodic table:
- Ca: 40.078.
There are one mole of Ca atoms in each mole of CaCO₃ formula unit.
- The mass of one mole of CaCO₃ is the same as the molar mass of this compound:
.
- The mass of one mole of Ca atoms is (numerically) the same as the relative atomic mass of this element:
.
Calculate the mass ratio of Ca in a pure sample of CaCO₃:
.
Let the mass of the sample be 100 g. This sample of CaCO₃ contains 30% Ca by mass. In that 100 grams of this sample, there would be of Ca atoms. Assuming that the impurity does not contain any Ca. In other words, all these Ca atoms belong to CaCO₃. Apply the ratio
:
.
In other words, by these assumptions, 100 grams of this sample would contain 75 grams of CaCO₃. The percentage mass of CaCO₃ in this sample would thus be equal to:
.
