Answer:

10 grams of calcium carbonate are needed to provide the recommended daily allowance of calcium.

Explanation:

The recommended daily allowance (rda) of calcium = 1.2 g

Percentage of calcium by mass in calcium carbonate = 12.0%

Total mass of calcium carbonate be x

\%=\frac{\text{Mass of an element}}{\text{Total mass of compound}}\times 100

12.0\%=\frac{1.2 g}{x}\times 100

x = 10 g

10 grams of calcium carbonate are needed to provide the rda of calcium.

1) Calcium carbonate contains 40.0% calcium by weight.
M(CaCO₃)=100.1 g/mol
M(Ca)=40.1 g/mol
w(Ca)=40.1/100.1=0.400 (40.0%)!

2) Mass fraction of this is excessive data.

3) The solution is:

m(Ca)=1.2 g

m(CaCO₃)=M(CaCO₃)*m(Ca)/M(Ca)

m(CaCO₃)=100.1g/mol*1.2g/40.1g/mol=3.0 g

A first-order reaction has a half-life of 20.0 minutes. Starting with 1.00 × 1020 molecules of reactant at time t = 0, how many
zalisa [80]

Half-life time of a reaction is time at which reactant concentration becomes half of its initial value.

Half-life of the first order reaction is 20 min. Rate constant can be calculated as follows:

K=\frac{0.6932}{t_{1/2}}=\frac{0.6932}{20 min}=0.03466 min^{-1}

The rate expression for first order reaction is as follows:

k=\frac{2.303}{t}log\frac{A_{0}}{A_{t}}

initial number of molecules of reactant are 10^{20}, time is 100 min thus, putting the values to calculate number of reactant at time 100 min,

0.03466 min^{-1}=\frac{2.303}{100 min}log\frac{[10^{20}]}{A_{t}}

On rearranging,

\frac{10^{20}}{A_{t}}=31.988

Or,

A_{t}=3.13\times 10^{18}

Therefore, number of molecules unreacted will be 3.13\times 10^{18}

If 3 g of element C combine with 8 g of element D to form compound CD, how many grams of D are needed to form compound CD2?
bija089 [108]
<span>For the answer to the question above,
If 3g of element combines with 8g of D to form CD it means
1 mole of C = 3g
1 mole of D = 8g
hence it forms CD.
So to form CD2 you need 16g of element D
