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>

4.2g of sodium bicarbonate is equivalent to how many moles of sodium bicarbonate
Mnenie [13.5K]
<span>The mass of one mole of sodium bicarbonate (aka NaHCO3) is equal to 1 * 22.99g/mol + 1 * 1.00g/mol + 1 * 12.01g/mol + 3 * 16.00g/mol = 83.91g/mol. From this, we can convert 4.2g of NaHCO3 to moles by dividing by 83.91g/mol, to get 0.050 moles of sodium bicarbonate.</span>

What is the density of a block marble that occupies 255 cm^3 and has a mass of 1000g
RUDIKE [14]

Answer:

<h2>3.92 g/cm³</h2>

Explanation:

The density of a substance can be found by using the formula

density =  \frac{mass}{volume} \\

From the question we have

density =  \frac{1000}{255}  \\  = 3.921568...

We have the final answer as

<h3>3.92 g/cm³</h3>

Hope this helps you
