Five mineral samples of equal mass of calcite, caco3 (mm 100.085) , had a total mass of 10.9 ± 0.1 g. what is the average mass o

f calcium in each sample? (assume that the relative uncertainties in atomic mass are small compared the uncertainty of the total mass.)

The molecular mass of calcite is 100.085 (given).

Atomic mass of calcium = 40.078 amu

Percent amount of calcium in calcite = \frac{40.078}{100.085}\times 100 = 40.044%

The total mass of five mineral samples = 10.9\pm 0.1 g  (given)

So, the mass of one sample = \frac{10.9}{5} = 2.18 g

and \frac{0.1}{5} = 0.02 g

The average mass of calcium in sample = \frac{2.18 g\times 40.044}{100} = 0.873 g

and \frac{0.02 g\times 40.044}{100} = 0.008 g

Hence, the average mass of calcium in each sample is 0.873 g\pm 0.008 g.

Enter the symbol of a sodium ion, Na+, followed by the formula of a sulfate ion, SO42−. Separate the ions with a comma only—spac
gladu [14]

Na⁺,SO₄²⁻ is the answer

<h3>Further explanation </h3>

An ion is an atom or molecule that has a net electrical charge. There are many ions, one of them are sodium ion and sulfate ion.

SO₄²⁻ or Sulfate is a naturally occurring polyatomic ion that consist of a central sulfur atom surrounded by four oxygen atoms with occured widely in everyday life. Sodium ions are important for regulation of blood and body fluids, transmission of nerve impulses, heart activity, and certain metabolic functions.

Whereas Na⁺ or Sodium is a chemical element with the symbol Na and atomic number 11. It is a soft, silvery-white, highly reactive metal. Sulfate ion is a very weak base. Therefore sulfate ion undergoes negligible hydrolysis in aqueous solution.

Enter the symbol of a sodium ion, Na⁺, followed by the formula of a sulfate ion, SO₄²⁻. Separate the ions with a comma only—spaces are not allowed. Express your answers as ions separated by a comma. Therefore the answer is: Na⁺,SO₄²⁻

When the concentration of reactant molecules is increased
a_sh-v [17]

Complete question is;

When the concentrations of reactant molecules are increased, the rate of reaction increases. The best explanation for this phenomenon is that as the reactant concentration increases,

A)the average kinetic energy of molecules increases.

B)the frequency of molecular collisions increases.

C)the rate constant increases.

D)the activation energy increases.

E)the order of reaction increases.

Answer:

B) The frequency of molecular collisions increases.

Explanation:

When we increase number of reactant molecules, the effective collision between the reactant molecules will form a product which also increases. As a result, the overall rate of the reaction will also increase which means the frequency of the molecular collision will also increase as well.

Thus, the correct answer is Option B
