You are given a sample of limestone, which is mostly CaCO3, to determine the mass percentage of Ca in the rock. You dissolve the

limestone in hydrochloric acid, which gives a solution of calcium chloride. Then you precipitate the calcium ion in solution by adding sodium oxalate, Na2C2O4. The precipitate is calcium oxalate, CaC2O4. You find that a sample of limestone weighing 128.3 mg gives 140.2 mg of CaC2O4. What is the mass percentage of calcium in the limestone

Answer:

34.15% is the mass percentage of calcium in the limestone.

Explanation:

Mass of precipitate that is calcium oxalate = 140.2 mg = 0.1402 g

1 mg = 0.001 g

Moles of calcium oxalate = \frac{0.1402 g}{128 g/mol}=0.001095 mol

1 mole of calcium oxalate have 1 mole of calcium atom.

Then 0.001095 moles of calcium oxalate will have 0.001095 moles of calcium atom.

Mass of 0.001095 moles of calcium :

0.001095 mol × 40 g/mol = 0.04381 g

Mass of sample of limestone = 128.3 mg = 0.1283 g

Percentage of calcium in limestone:

\frac{0.04381 g}{0.1283 g}\times 100=34.15\%

34.15% is the mass percentage of calcium in the limestone.

Water can be a solid
Degger [83]

Explanation:

Transpiration: This is the evaporation of liquid water from plants and trees into the Earth's atmosphere. Nearly all water that enters the roots transpires into the atmosphere. Sublimation: This is the process where ice and snow (a solid) changes into a gas without moving through the liquid phase

How are carbon-based molecules suited for sustaining life?
IrinaVladis [17]

\huge\fcolorbox{red}{pink}{Answer ♥}

Life on Earth is based on carbon, likely because each carbon atom can form bonds with up to four other atoms simultaneously. This quality makes carbon well-suited to form the long chains of molecules that serve as the basis for life as we know it, such as proteins and DNA.

Hope it helps uh ✌️✌️✌️

Calculate the density of CO2 at a pressure of 685.0 torr and 41.0°C . <br> R=0.0821 (L*atm)/(mol *K)
Keith_Richards [23]

T=41+273=314 k

M=(12)+(16×2)=44g/mol

d=PM/RT

d=685×44/0.0821×314

d=1169.15 g/L
