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.

Solnce55 [7]

Answer:

The equilibrium concentration of NO is 0.001335 M

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

The equilibrium constant Kc is 0.0025 at 2127 °C

An equilibrium mixture contains 0.023M N2 and 0.031 M O2,

Step 2: The balanced equation

N2(g) + O2(g) ↔ 2NO(g)

Step 3:  Concentration at the equilibrium

[N2] = 0.023 M

[O2] = 0.031 M

Kc = 0.0025 = [NO]² / [N2][O2]

Kc = 0.0025 = [NO]² / (0.023)(0.031)

[NO] = 0.001335 M

The equilibrium concentration of NO is 0.001335 M

Compare an ionic and a molecular compound in terms of how each is formed
GREYUIT [131]

Answer:

Molecular compounds are pure substances formed when atoms are linked together by sharing of electrons while ionic compounds are formed due to the transfer of electrons.

Molecular compounds are made due to covalent bonding while ionic compounds are made due to ionic bonding.
