The mineral magnesite contains magnesium carbonate, MgCO3 (molar mass= 84 g/mol), and other impurities. When a 1.26-g sample of

magnesite was dissolved in hydrochloric acid, 0.22 g of CO2 was generated. If the magnesite contained no carbonate other than MgCO3, what was the percent MgCO3 by mass in the magnesite? The reaction is as follows:
MgCO3(s) + 2HCl (aq) --> MgCl2(aq) + H20(l) + CO2(g)

The answer is 33.33 %


The explanation:


According to the reaction equation:


MgCO3(s) + 2HCl (aq) --> MgCl2(aq) + H20(l) + CO2(g)


we can see that 1 mole of MCO3 will produce → 1 mole of CO2


-Now we need o get number of mole of CO2:


and when we have 0.22 g of CO2, so number of mole = mass / molar mass


moles = 0.22 g / 44 g/mol = 0.005 mole


∴ moles of Mg = moles of CO2 = 0.005 mole


∴ mass of Mg = moles * molar mass


= 0.005 * 84 /mol = 0.42 g


∴ Percent of MgCO3 by mass of Mg = 0.42 g / 1.26 * 100


= 33.33 %

We are given with the equation <span>MgCO3(s) + 2HCl (aq) --> MgCl2(aq) + H20(l) + CO2(g). we shall convert CO2 to number of grams of MgCO3. Via stiochiometry, 0.22 g CO2 is equal to 0.42 gram MgCO3. In this case, the purity of MgCO3 in the sample is 0.42 g / 1.26 g or equal to 33.33 percent</span>

A sealed helium balloon with an internal pressure of 1.00 atm and a volume of 4.50 L at 293 K is moved. What volume will the bal
bixtya [17]

Answer:

6.48 L

Explanation:

From the question,

Applying

PV/T = P'V'/T'......................... Equation 1

P = initial pressure of the helium balloon, V =  Initial volume of the balloon, T = Initial temperature of the balloon, P' = Final pressure of the balloon, T' = Final temperature of the balloon, V' = Final volume of the balloon.

make V' the subject of the equation

V' = PVT'/P'T......................... Equation 2

Given: P = 1 atm, V = 4.5 L, T' = 253 K, T= 293 K, P' = 0.6 atm

Substitute these values into equation 2

V' = (4.5×1×253)/(0.6×293)

V' = 1138.5/175.8

V' = 6.48 L

Predict and Balance the following reaction:
Umnica [9.8K]

A. The balanced chemical reaction of Sodium metal and Water is 2Na  +  2H₂O  →  2NaOH    +   H₂.

<h3>What is a balanced chemical equation? </h3>

A balanced equation contains the same number of each type of atoms on both the left and right sides of the reaction arrow.

<h3>Reaction of Sodium metal and Water</h3>

Sodium metal reacts rapidly with water to form a colourless solution of sodium hydroxide (NaOH) and hydrogen gas (H2).

The balanced chemical reaction is written below;

2Na  +  2H₂O  →  2NaOH    +   H₂

Thus, the balanced chemical reaction of Sodium metal and Water is 2Na  +  2H₂O  →  2NaOH    +   H₂.
