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.

Based on the molar masses, how can you tell that an equation is balanced?
Ilya [14]
When you work with molar mass, you solve for the quantity of ''Moles'' within the substance by converting Mass. The way you can tell the equation is balanced would be by knowing whether the moles were equivalent on both sides or not. Therefore, if they are equal, it is balanced considering you have the same amount of moles on each side of the equation.

How many moles are in 5.4x1024 molecules of C4H2F7I, heptafluoro-1-iodobutane? Group of answer choices
jasenka [17]

Given :

Number of molecules of C_4H_2F_7I.

To Find :

How many moles are in given number of molecules.

Solution :

We know, in 1 moles of any element/compound contains 6.022\times 10^{23} at atoms/molecules.

So, number of moles in 5.4\times 10^{24} molecules are :

n = \dfrac{5.4\times 10^{24}}{6.022\times 10^{23}}\\\\n = 8.97 \ moles

Therefore, number of moles are 8.97 .

What do these two changes have in common sauce burning on a stove and jewelry tarnishing
Andrews [41]

The changes that are common between sauce burning on a stove, and jewelry tarnishing, which is a chemical change.

How to define chemical and physical changes?

Chemical Change-

Any alteration that produces new chemical substances with distinct properties is considered a chemical change. Chemical reactions involve the rearrangement and recombination of elements and compounds to create new substances. Examples of chemical changes are listed below:

  • Burning
  • Digestion
  • chemicals changing colors
  • Tarnishing
  • compost rotting

Physical Change-

A substance is not destroyed or transformed into something new by physical changes. A substance can undergo physical changes that alter its shape, size, or phase. The constituents of an element or compound do not change during a physical change. Examples of physical changes are listed below:

  • Boiling water
  • Chopping, Cutting, Carving
  • Evaporation
  • Freezing, Melting, Condensation

Which symbol is generally used to represent a sugar in simple models of nucleotides?
Bumek [7]
The sugar that occurs in nucleotides tends to be a 5 carbon sugar called ribose or deoxyribose and tends to be represented by a pentagon of 5 carbons joined to oxygen and OH to form part of the helix forming nucleic acids. The nucleotides are what constitutes the DNA and RNA which control genetic characteristics.

Which statements are inconsistent with dalton's atomic theory as it was originally stated?
Blababa [14]

Missing question:

A. All carbon atoms are identical.

B. An oxygen atom combines with 1.5 hydrogen atoms to form a water molecule.

C. Two oxygen atoms combine with a carbon atom to form a carbon dioxide molecule.

D. The formation of a compound often involves the destruction of one or more atoms.

Answer is: B and D.

A is correct because Daltan stated: All atoms of a given element have the same mass and other properties that distinguish them from the atoms of other elements.

C is correct because atoms combine in simple, whole- number ratios to form compounds, B is incorrect because ratio is not simple, whole number.

D is incorrect because according to Dalton. atoms can't be created or destroyed.
