Answer: 2800 g

Explanation:

CaCO_3(s)\rightarrow CaO(s)+CO_2(g)

According to avogadro's law, 1 mole of every substance weighs equal to molecular mass and contains avogadro's number 6.023\times 10^{23} of particles.

\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}

Given mass = 5 kg = 5000 g

\text{Number of moles}=\frac{5000g}{100g/mol}=50moles

1 mole of CaCO_3 produces = 1 mole of CaO

50 moles of CaCO_3 produces =\frac{1}{1}\times 50=50moles of CaO

Mass of CaO=moles\times {\text{Molar mass}}=50moles\times 56g/mole=2800g

2800 g of CaO is produced from 5.0 kg of limestone.

The energies of the bonds broken in a certain reaction are greater than the energies of the bonds formed. Which one of the follo
frosja888 [35]

Answer:

a. The reaction is endothermic.

Explanation:

The heat involved in a chemical reaction is given by the enthalpy change (ΔH), which is equal to the balance between the chemical bonds that are broken (release energy) and the chemical bonds that are formed (need energy):

ΔH ≅ bonds broken - bonds formed

If broken bonds > bonds formed ⇒ ΔH > 0 ⇒ endothermic reaction

Therefore, the reaction is endothermic (it requires energy).

How much energy is released when 0.40 mol C6H6(g) completely reacts with oxygen?
Vsevolod [243]
 <span>This question asksyou to apply Hess's law. 
You have to look for how to add up all the reaction so that you get the net equation as the combustion for benzene. The net reaction should look something like C6H6(l)+ O2 (g)-->CO2(g) +H2O(l). So, you need to add up the reaction in a way so that you can cancel H2 and C. 
multiply 2 H2(g) + O2 (g) --> 2H2O(l) delta H= -572 kJ by 3 
multiply C(s) + O2(g) --> CO2(g) delta H= -394 kJ by 12 
multiply 6C(s) + 3 H2(g) --> C6H6(l) delta H= +49 kJ by 2 after reversing the equation. 
Then, 
6 H2(g) + 3O2 (g) --> 6H2O(l) delta H= -1716 kJ 
12C(s) + 12O2(g) --> 12CO2(g) delta H= -4728 kJ 
2C6H6(l) --> 12 C(s) + 6 H2(g) delta H= - 98 kJ 
______________________________________... 
2C6H6(l) + 16O2 (g)-->12CO2(g) + 6H2O(l) delta H= - 6542 kJ 
I hope this helps and my answer is right.</span>

Which formula represents a saturated hydrocarbon
GenaCL600 [577]
Saturated hydrocarbons are organic compounds that contain only single bonds between the carbon atoms. They are known to be the simplest organic compounds. They are termed as such because they are saturated with water. Examples are the alkanes (ethane, methane, propane, butane, etc.).
