Answer:

B = the number of protons

Explanation:

The atom of every elements differ from each other because of number of protons they have.

Every atom consist of neutron, proton and electron. Protons and neutrons are present with in nucleus while the electrons are present out side the nucleus.

All these three subatomic particles construct an atom. A neutral atom have equal number of proton and electron.

The number of neutrons may be same but every atom have different number of protons.

Neutron and proton are present inside the nucleus. Proton has positive charge while neutron is electrically neutral. Proton is discovered by Rutherford while neutron is discovered by James Chadwick in 1932.

Symbol of proton= P+  

Symbol of neutron= n0  

Mass of proton=1.672623×10-27 Kg

Mass of neutron=1.674929×10-27 Kg

A sample of CaCO3 (molar mass 100. g) was reported as being 30. percent Ca. Assuming no calcium was present in any impurities, c
natka813 [3]

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: \rm 100\; g.
  • The mass of one mole of Ca atoms is (numerically) the same as the relative atomic mass of this element: \rm 40.078\; g.

Calculate the mass ratio of Ca in a pure sample of CaCO₃:

\displaystyle \frac{m(\mathrm{Ca})}{m\left(\mathrm{CaCO_3}\right)} = \frac{40.078}{100} \approx \frac{2}{5}.

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 \rm 30 \% \times 100\; g = 30\; g 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 \displaystyle \frac{m(\mathrm{Ca})}{m\left(\mathrm{CaCO_3}\right)} \approx \frac{2}{5}:

\begin{aligned} m\left(\mathrm{CaCO_3}\right) &= m(\mathrm{Ca})\left/\frac{m(\mathrm{Ca})}{m\left(\mathrm{CaCO_3}\right)}\right. \cr &\approx 30\; \rm g \left/ \frac{2}{5}\right. \cr &= 75\; \rm g \end{aligned}.

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:

\displaystyle 100\%\times \frac{m\left(\mathrm{CaCO_3}\right)}{m(\text{sample})} = \frac{75}{100} = 75\%.

spin [16.1K]

Answer:

Answer: II and IV

Explanation: Flammability and the ability to rust are chemical properties because they change an object. I, III, and V are physical properties because it doesn't change the object's composition. This includes weight, the change in matter (solid to liquid), or change in volume.

Hope this helps!!!
