The amount ofcalcium present in milk can be determined by adding oxalate to asample and measuring the massof calcium oxalate pre

cipitated. What is the mass percent ofcalcium if 0.429 g of calcium oxalate forms in a125-g sample of milk when excess aqueous sodium oxalate isadded? Na2C2O4(aq) +Ca2+(aq) → CaC2O4(s) +2Na+(aq) a. 0.107% b. 0.202% c. 0.343% d. 1.10% e.1.37%

<u>Answer:</u> The mass percent of calcium in milk is 0.107 %

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation:

\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}      .....(1)

Given mass of calcium oxalate = 0.429 g

Molar mass of calcium oxalate = 128.1 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

\text{Moles of calcium oxalate}=\frac{0.429g}{128.1g/mol}=0.0033mol

The given chemical equation follows:

Na_2C_2O_4(aq.)+Ca^{2+}(aq.)\rightarrow CaC_2O_4(s)+2Na^+(aq.)

Sodium oxalate is present in excess. So, it is considered as an excess reagent. And, calcium ion is a limiting reagent because it limits the formation of product.

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

1 mole of calcium oxalate is produced from 1 mole of calcium ion

So, 0.0033 moles of calcium oxalate is produced from = \frac{1}{1}\times 0.0033=0.0033mol of calcium ions

  • Now, calculating the mass of calcium ions by using equation 1, we get:

Moles of calcium ions = 0.0033 moles  

Molar mass of calcium ions = 40 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

0.0033mol=\frac{\text{Mass of calcium ions}}{40g/mol}\\\\\text{Mass of calcium ions}=(0.0033mol\times 40g/mol)=0.132g

  • To calculate the mass percentage of calcium ions in milk, we use the equation:

\text{Mass percent of calcium ions}=\frac{\text{Mass of calcium ions}}{\text{Mass of milk}}\times 100

Mass of milk = 125 g

Mass of calcium ions = 0.132 g

Putting values in above equation, we get:

\text{Mass percent of calcium ions}=\frac{0.132g}{125g}\times 100=0.107\%

Hence, the mass percent of calcium in milk is 0.107 %

Would you expect manganese(II) oxide, MnO, to react more readily with HF(aq) or NaOH(aq)?
ella [17]

Answer:

NaOH(aq)

Explanation:

NaOH(aq) is known to precipitate Mn^2+ ions according to the following reaction; Mn^2+(aq)+2OH^−(aq)↽−−⇀Mn(OH)2(s)

Hence, manganese(II) oxide reacts more readily with NaOH(aq) under ordinary conditions precipitating the metal hydroxide solid. This is one of the characteristic reactions of Mn^2+.

Propane burns in oxygen to produce carbon dioxide and steam. The unbalanced equation for this reaction is: C3H8 + O2 → CO2 + H2O
NemiM [27]
Here is your answer

C3H8 + O2-----> CO2 + H2O

Balancing C atoms

C3H8 + O2------> 3CO2 + H2O

Balancing H atoms

C3H8 + O2------> 3CO2 + 4H2O

Balancing O atoms

C3H8 +\bold{5}O2-------> \bold{3}CO2 + \bold{4}H2O

Hence the equation is balanced.
