Answer:

Sucrose.

Explanation:

Hello,

On the attached pictures you will find the structural formulas for both lauric acid and sucrose respectively. In this manner, since the sucrose has more OH bonds promoting the formation of hydrogen bond-like intermolecular forces with water, it will be more soluble in water than lauric acid, since it just has a remote carboxyle functional group which is not enough to provide solubility in water.

Best regards.

Calcium carbonate decomposes into calcium oxide and carbon dioxide when heated. Calculate the mass of carbon dioxide released wh

erastovalidia [21]

<h2>Answer: 131.9 g</h2>

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

<u>Write a Balanced Equation for the decomposition</u>

CaCO₃ → CaO + CO₂

<u></u>

<u>Find Moles of CO₂ Produced</u>

Since the mole ratio of CaCO₃ to CO₂ is 1 to 1,

the moles of CaCO₃ = moles of CO₂

moles of CaCO₃ = mass ÷ molar mass

= 300 g ÷ 100.087 g/mol

= 2.997 moles

∴ moles of CO₂ = 2.997 moles

<u>Determine Mass of CO₂</u>

Mass = moles × molar mass

= 2.997 mol × 44.01 g/mol

= 131.9 g

<u></u>

<h3>∴ when 300 g of calcium carbonate is decomposed, it produces 131.9 g of carbon dioxide.</h3>
