Answer:

47%

Explanation:

MgCO₃ (s) → MgO (s) + CO₂ (g)

CaCO₃ (s) → CaO (s) + CO₂ (g)

_______________________

MgCO₃ (s) + CaCO₃ (s) → MgO (s) + CaO (s) + 2CO₂ (g)

MgO: 40.3044 g/mol

MgCO₃: 84.3139 g/mol

CaO:56.0774 g/mol

CaCO₃: 100.0869 g/mol

CO₂: 44.01 g/mol

15.42 g is the total mass of dolomite.

7.85 g is the sum of MgO and CaO produced.

This means that 7.57 g of CO₂ were produced.

44.01 g CO₂_____ 1 mol

7.57 g CO₂ _____  x

x = 0.172 mol CO₂

Considering the global reaction, we had 0.172/2 = 0.086 mol of MgCO₃ in the original sample.

1 mol MgCO₃ _______ 84.3139 g

0.086 mol MgCO₃ ___ y

y = 7.25 g

15.42 g dolomite ______ 100%

7.25 g MgCO₃ ________ z

z = 47%

Under which conditions would the solubility of a gas be greatest? high pressure and high temperature high pressure and low tempe
kiruha [24]

Option B: high pressure and low temperature

A gas is more soluble under high pressure and low temperature conditions.

On increasing temperature of a gas, its kinetic energy increases. The increase in kinetic energy increases the motion of particles of gas this causes most of the gaseous particles to escape from the gas phase. Thus, less particles are available to dissolve in liquid and solubility decreases.

The effect of pressure on solubility of gas can be explained with the help of Henry's law. According to the law, at constant temperature, solubility of gas and partial pressure of gas are related to each other as follows:

p=k_{h}c

Here, p is the partial pressure of the gas, k_{h} is Henry's law constant, and

c is the concentrate of the gas.

According to above relation, concentration of gas decreases on decreasing partial pressure. Thus, on increasing pressure,  concentration of gas increases this increases the solubility of gas in liquid.

Therefore, solubility of gas is greatest at high pressure and low temperature.
