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.

Air is about 78.0% nitrogen molecules and 21.0% oxygen molecules. Several other gases make up the remaining 1% of air molecules.
kherson [118]

Answer:

The partial pressure of the other gases is 0.009 atm

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Air is about 78.0% nitrogen molecules and 21.0% oxygen molecules and 1% of other gases.

The atmospheric pressure = 0.90 atm

Step 2: Calculate mol fraction

If wehave  100  moles of air, 78 moles will be nitrogen,

21  moles will be  oxygen, and  1  mol will be other gases.

Mol fraction = 1/100 = 0.01

Step 3: Calculate the partial pressure of the other gases

Pgas = Xgas * Ptotal

⇒ Pgas = the partial pressure = ?

⇒ Xgas = the mol fraction of the gas = 0.01

⇒Ptotal = the total pressure of the pressure = 0.90 atm

Pgas = 0.01 * 0.90 atm

Pgas = 0.009 atm

The partial pressure of the other gases is 0.009 atm

Give the answer to the problem below using the correct number of significant digits. (1.3 x 103) x (5.724 x 104)
Gemiola [76]
(133.9) x (595.296)= 79,710.1344
Answer with significant digits: 80,000
1.3 has two significant digits so 79,700 rounds up to 80000.

The relative atomic mass of Chlorine is 35.45. Calculate the percentage abundance of the two isotopes of Chlorine, 35Cl and 37Cl
nata0808 [166]

Answer:

35Cl = 75.9 %

37Cl = 24.1 %

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

The relative atomic mass of Chlorine = 35.45 amu

Mass of the isotopes:

35Cl = 34.96885269 amu

37Cl = 36.96590258 amu

Step 2: Calculate percentage abundance

35.45 = x*34.96885269 + y*36.96590258

x+y = 1  x = 1-y

35.45 = (1-y)*34.96885269 + y*36.96590258

35.45 = 34.96885269 - 34.96885269y +36.96590258y

0.48114731 = 1,99704989‬y

y = 0.241 = 24.1 %

35Cl = 34.96885269 amu = 75.9 %

37Cl = 36.96590258 amu = 24.1 %

Calculate the pH of a solution that is 0.235M benzoic acid and 0.130M sodium benzoate, a salt whose anion is the conjugate base
lesantik [10]

Hello!

We have the following data:

ps: we apply Ka in benzoic acid to the solution.

[acid] = 0.235 M (mol/L)

[salt] = 0.130 M (mol/L)

pKa (acetic acid buffer) =?

pH of a buffer =?

Let us first find pKa of benzoic acid, knowing that Ka (benzoic acid) = 6.20*10^{-5}

So:

pKa = - log\:(Ka)

pKa = - log\:(6.20*10^{-5})

pKa = 5 - log\:6.20

pKa = 5 - 0.79

\boxed{pKa = 4.21}

Now, using the abovementioned data for the pH formula of a buffer solution or (Henderson-Hasselbalch equation), we have:

pH = pKa + log\:\dfrac{[salt]}{[acid]}

pH = 4.21 + log\:\dfrac{0.130}{0.235}

pH = 4.21 + log\:0.55

pH = 4.21 + (-0.26)

pH = 4.21 - 0.26

\boxed{\boxed{pH = 3.95}}\end{array}}\qquad\checkmark

Note:. The pH <7, then we have an acidic solution.

I Hope this helps, greetings ... DexteR! =)
