What mass of zinc oxide would be produced by the thermal decomposition of 375 grams of zinc carbonate?

Chemistry

Llana [10]4 years ago

Zinc carbonate has the chemical formula : ZnCO3 and the equation for thermal decomposition is:
ZnCO3 .................> ZnO + CO2
1 mole of ZnCO3 produces one mole of ZnO

From the periodic table:
molar mass of zinc = 65.38 gm
molar mass of carbon = 12 gm
molar mass of oxygen = 16 gm

molar mass of ZnCO3 = 65.38 + 12 + 3(16) = 125.38 gm
molar mass of ZnO = 65.38 + 16 = 81.38 gm

125.38 gm of ZnCO3 produces 81.38 gm of ZnO, therefore:
mass of ZnO in 375 gm = (375 x 81.38) / 125.38 = 243.4 gm

Based on the above calculations, the correct answer is 243 grams

Jack is playing with a Newton's cradle. As he lifts one ball to position A and drops it, it impacts the other balls at position
svetlana [45]

Answer:

Newton's Cradle is a neat way to demonstrate the principle of the CONSERVATION OF MOMENTUM.

What happens here is when the ball on one end of the cradle is swung and it hits the other balls that are motionless, or stationary, the momentum of the swinging ball is transferred to the next ball upon impact.

Momentum is not lost in this action, what happens when it hits the next ball, the momentum is transferred to the next one, and then the next, and the the next, till it reaches the last ball on the other end. Since nothing is next to the last ball, it pushes the ball upwards, which will swing down and repeat the process going the other way.

This also demonstrates the CONSERVATION OF ENERGY. As you will see, the energy continues to move through the other balls, passing it from one ball to the other, which keeps this constantly moving.

How many atoms are there in 32.45 grams of Magnesium?
levacccp [35]

Answer:

8.13 ×10²³ atoms

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of magnesium = 32.45 g

Number of atoms = ?

Solution:

Number of moles of Mg:

Number of moles = mass/molar mass

Number of moles = 32.45 g/ 24 g/mol

Number of moles = 1.35 mol

Number of atoms:

1 mole contain 6.022×10²³ atoms

1.35 mol × 6.022×10²³ atoms/ 1mol

8.13 ×10²³ atoms

How does atomic radius (size or atom diameter) affect bond distance (distance between atoms)?
yKpoI14uk [10]
When two atoms of the same element are covalently bonded, the radius of each atom will be half the distance between the two nuclei because they equally attract the electrons. The reason for this trend is that the bigger the radii, the further the distance between the two nuclei. Hope this helps:)
