Metals lose electrons
Non metals gain electrons

They do this to gain a full outer shell in order to become stabilised

A sample of limestone (calcium carbonate, CaCO3) is heated at 950 K until it is completely converted to calcium oxide (CaO) and

Answer:

Therefore, volume of CO₂ produced in the first step is 9141.404 L

Explanation:

Equations of reactions:

A: CaCO₃(s) ---> CaO(s) + CO₂(g)

B: CaO(l) + H₂O(l) ---> Ca(OH)₂(s)

Molar mass of CaCO₃ = 100 g; molar mass of CaO = 56 g; molar mass of CO₂ = 44 g molar mass of H₂P = 18 g; molar mass of Ca(OH)₂ = 74 g

From equation B, 1 mole of CaO produces 1 mole of Ca(OH)₂

This means that 56 g of CaO produces 74 g of Ca(OH)₂

mass of CaO that produces 8.47 kg or 8470 g of Ca(OH)₂ = 8470 g * 56/74 = 6409.73 g of CaO

Therefore, 6409.73 g of CaO were produced in reaction A

From reaction A, 1 mole of CaCO₃ produces 1 mole CaO and 1 mole of CO₂

Number of moles of CaO in 6409.73 g = 6409.73 g/56 g/mol = 114.46 moles

Therefore, 114.46 moles of CO₂ were produces as well.

Molar volume of gas at STP = 22.4 litres

Volume of CO₂ produced at STP = 114.46 * 22.4 L =2563.904 L

However, the above reaction took place at 950 K and 0.976 atm, therefore volume of CO₂ produced under these conditions are obtained using the general gas equation

Using P₁V₁/T₁ = P₂V₂/T₂

P₁ = 1.0 atm, V₁ = 2563.904 L, T₁ = 273 K, P₂ = 0.976 atm, T₂ = 950 K, V₂ = ?

V₂ = P₁V₁T₂/P₂T₁

V₂ = (1.0 * 2563.904 * 950)/(0.976 * 273)

V₂ = 9141.404 L

Therefore, volume of CO₂ produced in the first step is 9141.404 L

An analytical chemist has determined by measurements that there are 8.5 moles of magnesium in a sample of talc. How many moles o

MrRissso [65]

There are 5.66 moles of hydrogen in the sample of talc(hydrated magnesium silicate).

Given,

Talc formula is $Mg_{3} Si_4O_{10} (OH)_2$

moles of magnesium = 8.5 moles

The stoichiometry of magnesium and hydrogen is 3 : 2,

So 3 moles of magnesium is equivalent to 2 moles of hydrogen.

Then 8.5 moles of magnesium is equivalent to $\frac{2}{3} *8.5$ =5.6666 moles

Talc(hydrated magnesium silicate), often known as talcum, is a type of clay mineral made up of hydrated magnesium silicate, having the formula Mg3Si4O10(OH)2. Baby powder is made of powdered talc, frequently mixed with corn starch. This mineral serves as a lubricant and thickening agent. It serves as a component in paint, pottery, and roofing materials. It serves as a key component in many cosmetics. It can be found as foliated to fibrous aggregates and in a remarkably uncommon crystal form. It is foliated with a two-dimensional platy form, has a flawless basal cleavage, and an irregular flat fracture.

Talc(hydrated magnesium silicate), the softest mineral, is assigned a value of 1 on the Mohs scale of mineral hardness, which is based on scratch hardness comparisons.
