A sample of limestone (calcium carbonate, CaCO3) is heated at 950 K until it is completely converted to calcium oxide (CaO) and

pav-90 [236]

Answer:

Therefore, volume of CO₂ produced in the first step is 9141.404 L

Explanation:

Equations of reactions:

A: CaCO₃(s) ---> CaO(s) + CO₂(g)

B: CaO(l) + H₂O(l) ---> Ca(OH)₂(s)

Molar mass of CaCO₃ = 100 g; molar mass of CaO = 56 g; molar mass of CO₂ = 44 g molar mass of H₂P = 18 g; molar mass of Ca(OH)₂ = 74 g

From equation B, 1 mole of CaO produces 1 mole of Ca(OH)₂

This means that 56 g of CaO produces 74 g of Ca(OH)₂

mass of CaO that produces 8.47 kg or 8470 g of Ca(OH)₂ = 8470 g * 56/74 = 6409.73 g of CaO

Therefore, 6409.73 g of CaO were produced in reaction A

From reaction A, 1 mole of CaCO₃ produces 1 mole CaO and 1 mole of CO₂

Number of moles of CaO in 6409.73 g = 6409.73 g/56 g/mol = 114.46 moles

Therefore, 114.46 moles of CO₂ were produces as well.

Molar volume of gas at STP = 22.4 litres

Volume of CO₂ produced at STP = 114.46 * 22.4 L =2563.904 L

However, the above reaction took place at 950 K and 0.976 atm, therefore volume of CO₂ produced under these conditions are obtained using the general gas equation

Using P₁V₁/T₁ = P₂V₂/T₂

P₁ = 1.0 atm, V₁ = 2563.904 L, T₁ = 273 K, P₂ = 0.976 atm, T₂ = 950 K, V₂ = ?

V₂ = P₁V₁T₂/P₂T₁

V₂ = (1.0 * 2563.904 * 950)/(0.976 * 273)

V₂ = 9141.404 L

Therefore, volume of CO₂ produced in the first step is 9141.404 L

A student places a 100.0°C piece of metal that weighs 85.5 g into 122 mL of 16.0°C water. If the final temperature is 20.2°C, wh

Musya8 [376]

Answer:

The specific heat of the metal is 0.314 J/g°C

Explanation:

Step 1: data given

Temperature of the piece of metal = 100.0 °C

Mass of the metal = 85.5 grams

Volume of water = 122 mL = 122 grams

Temperature of water = 16.0 °C

The final temperature of water = 20.2 °C

The specific heat of water = 4.184 J/g°C

Step 2: Calculate the specific heat of metal

Heat gained= heat lost

Qgained = - Qlost

Qwater = -Qmetal

Q = m*c* ΔT

m(metal)*c(metal)*ΔT(metal) = -m(water)*c(water)*ΔT(water)

⇒m(metal) = mass of metal = 85.5 grams

⇒c(metal) = the specific heat of metal = TO BE DETERMINED

⇒ΔT(metal) = the change of temperature of metal = T2 - T1 = 20.2 - 100 °C = -79.8 °C

⇒m(water) = the mass of water = 122 grams

⇒c(water) = the specific heat of water = 4.184 J/g°C

⇒ΔT(water) = the change of temperature of metal = T2 - T1 = 20.2 - 16.0 °C = 4.2 °C

85.5 *c(metal) * -79.8 = -122 * 4.184 * 4.2

c(metal) * (-6822.9) = -2143.9

c(metal) = 0.314 J/g°C

The specific heat of the metal is 0.314 J/g°C

What did J.J. Thomson discover about the atom that changed the atomic model previously used?

galina1969 [7]

J.J. Thomson hypothesized and discovered that the atom was not the smallest unit of matter but that instead there were much smaller units. He discovered "sub-atomic particles" which make up atoms. The sub-atomic particle that Thomson discovered was the electron. He discovered this through a process of experiments testing cathode rays.

What is an atomic weight?

S_A_V [24]

The average weight of an atom of an element, formerly based on the weight of one hydrogen atom taken as a unit or on 1/16 (0.0625) the weight of an oxygen atom, but after 1961 based on 1/12 the weight of the carbon-12 atom.
