Answer : The correct option is, 104 grams.

Explanation :

Law of conservation of mass : It states that mass can neither be created nor be destroyed but it can only be transformed from one form to another form.

This also means that total mass on the reactant side must be equal to the total mass on the product side.

The balanced chemical reaction will be,

$Ca+ZnCO_3\rightarrow CaCO_3+Zn$

According to the law of conservation of mass,

Total mass of reactant side = Total mass of product side

Total mass of $Ca+ZnCO_3$ = Total mass of $CaCO_3+Zn$

Mass of $Ca$ + Mass of $ZnCO_3$ = Mass of $CaCO_3$ + Mass of $Zn$

As we are given :

Mass of $Ca$ = 64 g

Mass of $ZnCO_3$ = 192 g

Mass of $CaCO_3$ = 152 g

So,

Mass of $Ca$ + Mass of $ZnCO_3$ = Mass of $CaCO_3$ + Mass of $Zn$

64 g + 192 g = 152 g + Mass of $Zn$

Mass of $Zn$ = (64 + 192) - 152

Mass of $Zn$ = 104 g

Therefore, the mass of zinc present in the zinc carbonate was 104 grams.

C) A football feels hard on a hot day but feels softer in the evening

Mariana [72]

Answer: ^_^

Explanation:

its because during day time the ball becomes heated up and the air inside it try to come out as the heat air always try to go up swelling up the ball,

so in the evening when the air cools down the ball too cools down and air inside it also cools down making the ball feel soft,

Therefore, a football feels hard on a hot day but feels softer in the evening

Hope it helped u,

Which of the following groups of chemical elements would you expect to be most alike in their physical and chemical properties?

juin [17]

Many elements show very strong similarities to each other.For example, lithium (Li), sodium (Na), and potassium (K) are all soft, very reactive metals.

If a lab requires each lab group to have 25ml of a solution and it takes 15 grams of CuNO3 to make 1 liter of solution how many

tino4ka555 [31]

We need to do some general algebra here.

We will find that you need 8.25 grams of CuNO₃ to make enough solution for the 22 labs.

We know that:

Each lab group needs 25 ml of solution.
it takes 15 g of CuNO₃ to make one L of that solution.
There are 22 labs.

Because each lab needs 25 ml of solution, 22 labs will need that amount 22 times, so the total amount of solution needed is:

22*25ml = 550 ml

Now we know that we need 15 grams to make one liter of solution, and:

1 L = 1000ml

Then you need 15g to make 1000ml

and x (we want to find this amount) to make 550ml

Then we can write two equations (not actual equations, as these are different units) like:

x = 550ml

15g = 1000ml

Now we can take the quotient between these two equations:

x/15 g = (550ml/1000ml)

And now we can solve this for x:

x = (550ml/1000ml)*15g = 8.25g

So you need 8.25 grams of CuNO₃ to make enough solution for the 22 labs.
