When heated a sample consisting of only CaCO3 and MgCO3 yields a mixture of CaO and Mgo. If the weight of the combined oxides is

equal to 51.00% of the initial sample weight, calculate the per cent of CaCO3 and MgCO3 in the sample. (12 M.)

Answer:

38.83 %  of  CaCO3

61.17 %  of  MgCO3

Explanation:

where Moles of CaCO3 is equals to x and MgCO3 is y we have that...

CaCO3 molar mass = 100.09 g / mol  = 100.09 x

MgCO3 molar mass = 84.31 g / mol  = 84.31 y

decomposition reactions :

CaCO3 ---> CaO + CO2

MgCO3 ---> MgO + CO2  

So we have that , Moles of CaO = Moles of CaCO3 = x

and Moles of MgO = Moles of MgCO3 = y

CaO molar mass = 56.08 g / mol

MgO molar mass = 40.30 g / mol

CaO = 56.08 x

 MgO = 40.30 y

"If the weight of the combined oxides is equal to 51.00% of the initial sample weight,"

total mass of MgO and CaO = 51.00 % of Total Mass of MgCO3 and CaCO3  

thus

56.08 x + 40.30 y = 0.51 ( 100.09 x + 84.31 y )

56.08 x + 40.30 y = 51.04 x + 42.99y

5.04 x = 2.7 y

y = 1.87 x    

CaCO3 % in the sample

= 100.09 x × 100 / ( 100.09 x + 84.31 y )

= 10009 x / ( 100.09 x + 84.31 × 1.87 x )

= 10009 x / ( x ( 100.09 + 157.66 ) )

= 10009 / 257.75

= 38.83 %

MgCO3 % in the sample

= 100 - 38.83  

=   61.17 %

How many milliliters of a 1.5 m h2so4 are needed to neutralize 35ml sample of a 1.5 m solution?
DochEvi [55]

Answer:

1) 17.5 mL

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, the reaction between sulfuric acid and potassium hydroxide is:

H_2SO_4+2KOH\rightarrow K_2SO_4+2H_2O

In such a way, we notice a 1:2 molar ratio between the acid and the base, therefore, at the equivalence point we have:

2*n_{acid}=n_{base}

And in terms of concentrations and volumes:

2*M_{acid}V_{acid}=M_{base}V_{base}

Thus, we solve for the volume of acid:

V_{acid}=\frac{M_{base}V_{base}}{2*M_{acid}} =\frac{35mL*1.5M}{2*1.5M} \\\\V_{acid}=17.5mL

Best regards.

What is the maximum amount of silver (in grams that can be plated out of 4.7 l of an agno3 solution containing 3.2 % ag by mass?
Alex
The maximum amount of silver will be all of that contained in the solution.
Silver in solution:
Solution volume = 4,700 ml
Solution mass = 1.01 x 4,700
Solution mass = 5170 g

Amount of silver = 5,170 x 0.032
Amount of silver = 165.44 grams

What about solids ? Do solids move around like liquids and gases ?​
Neporo4naja [7]

Answer:

No, gases move freely all over the place, liquids move more freely but in a more contained area, and solids the molecules are rigid, at the most the movement is small vibration as the molecules put pressure on one another to hold their form and stay in place.
