According to the law of conservation of mass, how much zinc was present in the zinc carbonate?

Chemistry

oksano4ka [1.4K]3 years ago

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.

Given the following sets of values, calculate the unknown
weqwewe [10]

Answer:

3.91 L

Explanation:

Using the ideal gas law equation as follows:

PV = nRT

Where:

P = pressure (atm)

V = volume (L)

n = number of moles (mol)

R = gas law constant (0.0821 Latm/molK)

T = temperature (K)

Based on the information given in this question,

P = 5.23 atm

V= ?

n = 0.831 mol

T = 27°C = 27 + 273 = 300K

Using PV = nRT

V = nRT/P

V = (0.831 × 0.0821 × 300) ÷ 5.23

V = 20.47 ÷ 5.23

V = 3.91 L

Calculate the mole fraction of the total ions in an aqueous solution prepared by dissolving 0.400 moles of CaI2 in 850.0 g of wa
Evgesh-ka [11]

Answer:

0.00840

Explanation:

The computation of the mole fraction is as follow:

As we know that

Molar mass = Number of grams ÷ number of moles

Or

number of moles = Number of grams ÷ molar mass

Given that

Number of moles of CaI2 = 0.400

And, Molar mass of water = 18.0 g/mol

Now  Number of moles of water is

= 850.0 g ÷ 18.0 g/mol

= 47.22 mol

And, Total number of moles is

= 0.400 + 47.22

= 47.62

So, Molar fraction of CaI2 is

= 0.400 ÷ 47.62

= 0.00840

Which change will cause the greatest increase in the rate of reaction for this chemical reaction? 8Zn(s) + S8(s) 8ZnS(s) A. addi
Rus_ich [418]

I found another question like this. Someone answered "The best answer to this question is adding a catalyst. 

Adding a catalyst  will cause the greatest increase in the rate of reaction for this chemical reaction , 8Zn(s) + S8(s) 8ZnS(s).                                                         ---> adding a catalyst always affects the rate of a reaction."

If a piece of aluminum with a mass of 3.99 g and a temperature of 100.0 °C is dropped
Vinil7 [7]

Answer:

The final temperature of the system is 27.3°C.

Explanation:

Heat lost by aluminum = 3.99 × 0.91 × (100-T)

                                     = 3.631 (100-T)

Heat gained by water = 10 × 4.184 × (T-21)

                                    = 41.84 (T-21)

As,

                                Heat gained = Heat loss

                          or, 3.631(100-T) = 41.84(T-21)

                          or,363.1 -  3.631 T = 41.84 T - 878.64)

                          or, (41.84+ 3.631) T = 878.64 +363.1

                          or  T= \frac{1241.74}{45.47}

                         or, T = 27.3°C

Hence the final temperature is 27.3°C.
