Calcium carbonate, CaCO3(s), decomposes upon heating to give CaO(s) and CO2(g). A sample of CaCO3 is decomposed, and the carbon

dioxide is collected in a sealed 250 mL flask. After the decomposition is complete, the gas has a pressure of 1.3 atm at a temperature of 33°C. How many moles of CO2 gas were generated? (Ideal gas equation:

Answer:

0.013 mole

Explanation:

Step 1:

Data obtained from the question. This includes:

Volume (V) = 250 mL

Pressure (P) = 1.3 atm

Temperature (T) = 33°C

Number of mole of (n) =?

Step 2:

Conversion to appropriate units.

The volume and the temperature given in the question must be converted to their appropriate unit in order to obtain the answer to the question in the right unit.

For volume:

We must, convert mL to L

1000 mL = 1 L

Therefore, 250 mL = 250/1000 = 0.25 L

For temperature:

We, must convert °C to K.

K = °C + 273

K = 33°C + 273

K = 306K

Step 3:

Determination of the number of mole of CO2.

Applying the ideal gas equation:

PV = nRT

The number of mole of CO2 can be obtained as follow:

V = 0.25 L

P = 1.3 atm

T = 306K

R (gas constant) = 0.082atm.L/Kmol

Number of mole of (n) =?

PV = nRT

1.3 x 0.25 = n x 0.082 x 306

Divide both side by 0.082 x 306

n = (1.3 x 0.25) /(0.082 x 306)

n = 0.013 mole

Answer:

n_{CO_2}=0.013molCO_2

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, the undergoing chemical reaction is:

CaCO_3(s)\rightarrow CaO(s)+CO_2(g)

Thus, over the given conditions, we use the ideal gas equation to compute the moles of carbon dioxide that were generated directly, as it is the only gaseous species:

PV=n_{CO_2}RT\\\\n_{CO_2}=\frac{PV}{RT} =\frac{1.3atm*250mL*\frac{1L}{1000mL} }{0.082\frac{atm*L}{mol*K}*(33+273.15)K} \\\\n_{CO_2}=0.013molCO_2

Best regards.

Please tell me an example of a protein structure that would give positive test with Molisch’s Reagent?
Andru [333]

Answer:

positive reaction for Molisch's test is given by almost all carbohydrates (exceptions include tetroses & trioses). It can be noted that even some glycoproteins and nucleic acids give positive results for this test (since they tend to undergo hydrolysis when exposed to strong mineral acids and form monosaccharides).

If you have 150 grams of s8, how many moles of so2 can you make?
ruslelena [56]

Answer : You can make 4.68 moles of SO₂

Explanation:

Step 1 : Write balanced equation.

S₈ can combine with oxygen to form SO₂ gas. The balanced equation for this reaction is written below.

S_{8}  + 8 O_{2} \rightarrow 8 SO_{2}

Step 2 : Find moles of S₈

The formula to calculate mol is

mole = \frac{grams}{MolarMass}

Molar mass of S₈ is 256.5 g/mol

mole = \frac{150grams}{256.5 g/mol}

mole = 0.585 mol

we have 0.585 mol of S₈

Step 3: Use mole ratio to find moles of SO₂

The mole ratio of S₈ and SO₂ can be found using balanced equation which is 1:8

That means 1 mol of S₈ can form 8 moles of SO₂.

Let us use this as a conversion factor to find moles of SO₂

0.585 mol (S_{8}) \times \frac{8 mol (SO_{2})}{1 mol (S_{8})}  = 4.68 mol

Therefore we have 4.68 moles of SO₂

Why isn't carbon-14 dating accurate for estimating the age of materials older than 50,000 years?
soldi70 [24.7K]
Carbon-14 is radioactive isotope of carbon.
Carbon is essential element of living cells. While the living cells are alive, the carbon contained in them are in equilibrium with the carbon in atmosphere. But, once the cell dies, the carbon-14 isotope undergoes radioactive decay. By measuring the carbon-14 in atmosphere to the carbon-14 in dead organism, we can calculate the time (or years) that organism have died.

However, carbon-14 dating technique is not accurate for estimating the age of materials older than 50,000 years old (above 40,000 years). This is because, 99% of carbon is carbon-12, 1% is carbon-13 and trace remaining is the carbon-14. This means, carbon-14 is found in very trace amount, in fact 1 part per trillion of carbon atoms present is carbon-14. The half of life of carbon-14 is 5,730 years. For dating the organism, we use the concept of half lives of the carbon-14 isotope in the dead organisms and calculate how many half life old the sample is. But as the years increases, the number of carbon-14 isotope becomes too low to detect and make accurate calculation.
This means, at some point the organism can simply run out of carbon-14.

Hence carbon-14 dating is not accurate for estimating age of materials older than 50,000 years old.
