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.

Using any data you can find in the ALEKS Data resource, calculate the equilibrium constant K at 30.0 °C for the following reacti
gayaneshka [121]

Answer : The value of K for this reaction is, 2.6\times 10^{15}

Explanation :

The given chemical reaction is:

CH_3OH(g)+CO(g)\rightarrow HCH_3CO_2(g)

Now we have to calculate value of (\Delta G^o).

\Delta G^o=G_f_{product}-G_f_{reactant}

\Delta G^o=[n_{HCH_3CO_2(g)}\times \Delta G^0_{(HCH_3CO_2(g))}]-[n_{CH_3OH(g)}\times \Delta G^0_{(CH_3OH(g))}+n_{CO(g)}\times \Delta G^0_{(CO(g))}]

where,

\Delta G^o = Gibbs free energy of reaction = ?

n = number of moles

\Delta G^0_{(HCH_3CO_2(g))} = -389.8 kJ/mol

\Delta G^0_{(CH_3OH(g))} = -161.96 kJ/mol

\Delta G^0_{(CO(g))} = -137.2 kJ/mol

Now put all the given values in this expression, we get:

\Delta G^o=[1mole\times (-389.8kJ/mol)]-[1mole\times (-163.2kJ/mol)+1mole\times (-137.2kJ/mol)]

\Delta G^o=-89.4kJ/mol

The relation between the equilibrium constant and standard Gibbs, free energy is:

\Delta G^o=-RT\times \ln K

where,

\Delta G^o = standard Gibbs, free energy  = -89.4 kJ/mol = -89400 J/mol

R = gas constant  = 8.314 J/L.atm

T = temperature  = 30.0^oC=273+30.0=303K

K = equilibrium constant = ?

Now put all the given values in this expression, we get:

-89400J/mol=-(8.314J/L.atm)\times (303K)\times \ln K

K=2.6\times 10^{15}

Thus, the value of K for this reaction is, 2.6\times 10^{15}
