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>

Study the image and answer the question.
konstantin123 [22]
The image represents A COMPOUND because the molecules are BONDED CHEMICALLY.
A compound is a substance formed when two or more elements combine together chemically. In the process of chemical combination, the chemical bonds that were present in the participating elements will be broken and new chemical bonds will be formed in the product.

Which of the following is the simplest ketone used as an organic solvent?
Lyrx [107]

Answer: Option (d) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

A ketone is an organic functional group that contains a carbon and oxygen atom bonded together through a double bond, that is, C=O.

For example, acetone CH_{3}-CO-CH_{3} is a ketone.

Whereas a hydrocodone is a drug which is used to relieve from moderate to sever pain.It is mostly combined with other drugs and resulting in a chemical formula C_{18}H_{21}NO_{3}.C_{4}H_{6}O_{6}.

A camphor is a volatile white color substance with chemical formula C_{10}H_{16}O. It has aromatic smell and its taste is bitter.

A menthone is also an organic compound with chemical formula C_{10}H_{18}O.

Thus, we can conclude that out of the given options the simplest ketone used as an organic solvent is acetone.
