Calcium carbonate can be decomposed by heating: CaCO3 - CaO + CO2

Chemistry

Galina-37 [17]3 years ago

Answer: 13.888g

Explanation:

CaCO3 —> CaO + CO2

From the equation above, 1mole of CaCO3 produces 1mole of CaO. Since the answer is to be expressed in grams, let us covert this mole to grams. This is illustrated below:

MM of CaCO3 = 40 +12 + (16x3) = 40 + 12 + 48 = 100g/mol

MM of CaO = 40 + 16 = 56g/mol

From the equation,

100g of CaCO3 produced 56g CaO

Therefore, 24.8g of CaCO3 will produce Xg of CaO i.e

Xg of CaO = (24.8 x 56) / 100 = 13.888g

Therefore, the theoretical yield of CaO is 13.888g

16.0 grams of molecular oxygen gas is equal to
IceJOKER [234]

One thing to notice in the question is, we are asked about molecular oxygen that has formula O2 not atomic oxygen O.

As we are asked about molecular oxygen, we will answer the question in terms of number of molecules that are present in 16 grams of molecular oxygen.

To get the number of molecules present in 16 grams of O2, we will use the formula:

         No. of molecules = no. of moles x Avogadro's number (NA)-----  eq 1)

As we know:

                        The number of moles = mass/ molar mass of molecule

Here we have been given mass already, 16 grams and the molar mass of O2 is 32 grams.

Putting the values in above formula:

                                                    = 16/32  

                                                     = 0.5 moles

Putting the number of moles and Avogadro's number (6.02 * 10^23) in eq 1

                                No. of molecules = 0.5  x 6.02 * 10^23

                                   =3.01 x 10^23 molecules

or                 301,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 molecules

This means that 16 grams of 3.01 x 10^23 molecules of oxygen.

Hope it helps!

To what is wax susceptible
maks197457 [2]
Wax is definitely susceptible to heat and with the application of heat such as burning a candle, the solid wax gets converted into a liquid. This fact can be used to remove ear wax also actually using hollow candles that will melt the ear wax and allow it to be drained out of the ear.

2. What group is Ballardium located? (Bu) *
elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

Answer:

This question appears incomplete

Explanation:

There is no such element known as "Ballardium (Bu)" in the periodic table. However, there are elements with a bit of similarity in spellings and pronunciation such as Beryllium (Be) which is found in group 2 (meaning it is an alkali earth metal), Berkelium (Bk) which is an actinide (meaning it is radioactive) and Vanadium (V) which is found in group 5 of the periodic table (meaning it's a transition metal).
