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.

How does 2 Na (s) + Cl2 (g) = NaCl (s) represent the coefficient in the chemical equation
Elenna [48]

Answer:

The 2 would be placed in front of the reactant Na and in front of the product NaCl

2Na + Cl2 = 2NaCl

Explanation:

This is because the ratio of elements needs to be balanced on both sides.

On the reactants side, there are 2 Na molecules and 2 Cl molecules

On the products side, there are 2 Na molecules and 2 Cl molecules

So, now the equation is balanced

Name two solid liquid and gaseous element at the normal temperature and normal press<br>ure​
liubo4ka [24]

Answer:

Solid: calcium and potassium

Liquid: mercury and bromine

Gaseous: oxygen and fluorine

Explanation:

Matter exists in three different states namely: solid, gaseous and liquid. Elements that are found in nature are classified as matter. Since, these elements are grouped as matter, they can either be found as either solids, liquids or gases at normal temperature and pressure.

At normal temperature (20°C or 293K) and pressure (1 atm), the following elements are found to exists in the respective state of matter:

Solid: Calcium (Ca) and potassium (K)

Liquid: Mercury (Hg) and bromine (Br)

Gaseous: Oxygen (O) and fluorine (F)
