A student attempted to identify an unknown compound by the method used in the experiment. She found that when she heated the sam

ple weighing 0.4862g, the mass barely changed, dropping to 0.4855g. When the product was converted to a chloride, the mass went up to 0.5247g. Is the sample a carbonate? What are the two compounds that might be the unknown?

Answer:

The sample is a carbonate.

The unknown samples are Na2CO3 and K2CO3.

Explanation:

Let's assume ,the sample is Na2CO3.

Na2CO3 produces 2 moles of NaCl via formation of Na2O

Number of moles of NaCO3= 0.48262g/106gmol= 4.586×10^-3mol

Mass of NaCl= 2(4.586×10^-3)×58.5=0.536g

Let's assume the sample is K2CO3

K2CO3 produces2 moles of KCl

Number of moles of K2CO3= 0.4862g/138.21gmol

Number of moles= 3.517×10^-3mol

Mass of KCl formed= 2(3.517×10^-3)×74.55=0.5246g

Na2CO3 + 2Cl- ⇒ 2NaCl + CO3^-2 
<span>
1 mole of Na2CO3 = 106 g </span>
<span>2 moles of NaCl     = 2 x 58.4
                               = 116.8 g 
</span>Na2CO3 would increase by 116.8 / 106 = 1.10 to form 2NaCl.
<span>0.4862 g x 1.10 = 0.515 grams of NaCl.
</span>
K2CO3 + 2Cl- ⇒ 2KCl + CO3^-2 
<span>1 mole of K2CO3 = 138.2 g </span>
<span>2 moles of KCl = 149.1 </span>
<span>
K2CO3 would increase by </span>149.1 /138.2 = 1.079 <span>to form 2KCl
</span>
<span> 0.4862 x 1.079 = 0.5246 g</span>

Describe what occurs when a gas is collected by water displacement, including why a table of water vapor pressure values is need
Radda [10]

When a gas bubbles through water, small droplets of water are usually picked up along for the ride and are mixed in with the gas above the water inside the eudiometer tube. The water vapor takes up room, but isn't the important gas that you need to measure. The table of water vapor is needed to subtract the unwanted water vapor from the collection of gases.

A 253 g block of wood has the following dimensions: Length 15.24 cm Width 6.64 cm Height 3.56 cm What is the density of the wood
yanalaym [24]

Answer:

0.7 g/cm³

Explanation:

<em>hey there,</em>

<em />

< The formula for density is p = \frac{m}{v}  where m = mass, v = volume, and p = density. An easy way to remember the formula is density equals love. I found this easy to remember because p = ♡ and when you think about it, if you split the heart in half through the middle like a fraction, it will make \frac{m}{v} (if you don't understand what I'm saying, try writing it out and you will be able to see what I'm talking about!)

We already know that the block is 253 g so the mass is 253 g.

To find the volume, always multiply the 3 values width, length, and height whenever you are trying to find the volume of a block.

15.24 cm x 6.64 cm x 3.56 cm = 360.25 cm³

Now plug it into the formula.p = \frac{m}{v}=\frac{253}{360.25} = 0.7 g/cm³ >

<u>Hope this helped! Feel free to ask anything else.</u>

Consider the reaction between iron (III) oxide, Fe2O3 and carbon monoxide, CO. Fe2O3 + 3CO --&gt; 2Fe + 3CO2 In the process, 213
s344n2d4d5 [400]
To calculate the mass of Fe formed in a) we get first the limiting reactant between Fe2O3 and CO. Given the masses, the ratio of Fe2O3 is 1.33 while that of CO is 1.67. Hence the limiting reagent is Fe2O3. The mass of Fe formed is 148.98 grams. In b, the needed CO is only 112.04 grams. Hence, the excess is 27. 96 grams.
