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

1 answer:

6 0

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

One brand of vinegar has a pH of 4.5. Another brand has a pH of 5.0. The equation for the pH of a substance is pH = –log[H+], wh

grigory [225]

[H+] in first brand:
4.5 = -log([H+])
[H+] = 10^(-4.5)

[H+] in second brand:
5 = -log[H+]
[H+] = 10^(-5)

Difference = 10^(-4.5) - 10^(-5)
= 2.2 x 10⁻⁵

The answer is A.

Assuming the volumes are additive, what is the [Cl−] in a solution obtained by mixing 297 mL of 0.675 M KCl and 664 mL of 0.338

Elden [556K]

Answer: The concentration of chloride ions in the solution obtained is 0.674 M

Explanation:

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

$\text{Molarity of the solution}=\frac{\text{Moles of solute}\times 1000}{\text{Volume of solution (in mL)}}$ .....(1)

For KCl:

Molarity of KCl solution = 0.675 M

Volume of solution = 297 mL

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$0.675=\frac{\text{Moles of KCl}\times 1000}{297}\\\\\text{Moles of KCl}=\frac{(0.675mol/L\times 297)}{1000}=0.200mol$

1 mole of KCl produces 1 mole of chloride ions and 1 mole of potassium ion

Moles of chloride ions in KCl = 0.200 moles

For magnesium chloride:

Molarity of magnesium chloride solution = 0.338 M

Volume of solution = 664 mL

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$0.338=\frac{\text{Moles of }MgCl_2\times 1000}{664}\\\\\text{Moles of }MgCl_2=\frac{(0.338mol/L\times 664)}{1000}=0.224mol$

1 mole of magnesium chloride produces 2 moles of chloride ions and 1 mole of magnesium ion

Moles of chloride ions in magnesium chloride = $(2\times 0.224)=0.448mol$

Calculating the chloride ion concentration, we use equation 1:

Total moles of chloride ions in the solution = (0.200 + 0.448) moles = 0.648 moles

Total volume of the solution = (297 + 664) mL = 961 mL

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$\text{Concentration of chloride ions}=\frac{0.648mol\times 1000}{961}\\\\\text{Concentration of chloride ions}=0.674M$

Hence, the concentration of chloride ions in the solution obtained is 0.674 M

As a real gas deviates from ideal gas behavior, the particles _____

Alik [6]

Answer:

Have some attraction towards each other

Explanation:

Gases deviate from the ideal gas behavior because their molecules have forces of attraction between them. At high pressure, the molecules of gases are very close to each other so the molecular interactions start operating and these molecules do not strike the walls of the container with full impact.

Hope this helps :-)
