When heated, calcium carbonate decomposes to yield calcium oxide and carbon dioxide gas via the reaction CaCO3(s)→CaO(s)+CO2(

1 answer:

3 0

Answer is: mass of calcium carbonate needed is 120 grams.
Chemical reaction: CaCO₃(s) → CaO(s) + CO₂(g).
V(CO₂) = 27.0 L.
Vm = 22.4 L/mol.
n(CO₂) = V(CO₂) ÷ Vm.
n(CO₂) = 27 L ÷ 22.4 L/mol.
n(CO₂) = 1.2 mol.
From chemical reaction: n(CO₂) : n(CaCO₃) = 1 : 1.
m(CaCO₃) = 1.2 mol.
m(CaCO₃) = n(CaCO₃) · M(CaCO₃).
m(CaCO₃) = 1.2 mol · 100 g/mol.
m(CaCO₃) = 120 g.

he equation represents the combustion of sucrose. C12H22O11 + 12O2 12CO2 + 11H2O If there are 10.0 g of sucrose and 8.0 g of oxy

xeze [42]

Answer:

The moles of sucrose that are available for this reaction is 0.0292 moles

Explanation:

Combustion is an specifyc reaction where the reactants react with O₂ in order to produce CO₂ and H₂O

This combustion is: C₁₂H₂₂O₁₁ + 12O₂ → 12CO₂ + 11H₂O

We have to conver the mass to moles, to find out the limiting reactant

10 g . 1 mol / 342 g = 0.0292 moles of sucrose

8 g . 1mol / 32g = 0.250 moles of O₂

The moles of sucrose that are available for this reaction is 0.0292 moles

Before we start to work with the equation we must find the limiting reactant. When you find it, you can do all the calculations.

Explain why the following chemical equation represents a Lewis acid-base reaction. H+ + NH3 —>NH4+

lozanna [386]

Answer:

Due to an electron-pair acceptor and donor.

Explanations:

Lewis acid can be defined as an electron-pair acceptor. An example is Hydrogen ion(H+). This is because it is a proton and it distributes positive charge which means that it accepts electrons(negative charge).

Lewis base can be defined as an electron-pair donor. This is because it donates electrons to be accepted by the proton. An example is ammonia(NH3).

As a central atom, sulfur can take more than eight electrons in its valence shell.

vodka [1.7K]

Sulphur is located in the third period and group 16. The general electronic configuration of group 16 is $ns^{2} np^{4}$ therefore the maximum number of valency electrons in group 16 is 6. The electronic configuration of sulphur is [Ne] $3s^{2} 3p^{4}3d^{0}$ . Sulphur has six valency electrons whereas sulphur can have more than eight electrons in its valency shell as it have an empty d-shell electrons can accumulate in the empty d-shell. The complete d-shell and the $P_{z}$ orbital will be empty. As each orbital can accept 2 electrons, sulphur can have 12 valency electrons in its valency shell.
