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%

Question 1 (2 points)
natulia [17]

Temperature is the average kinetic energy of gas molecules.

<h3>What is absolute zero?</h3>

The term absolute zero refers to the hypothetical point where the energy of molecules is zero. It is the point where all of their motion stops completely.

In a liquid, the movement of the molecules is more significant than in a solid. If you keep increasing the temperature of a liquid, it will boil and become a gas.

Matter contains energy which depends on the temperature of matter. To remove the energy of matter, you have to lowering its temperature.

The addition of energy to matter occurs when matter is heated. Hence, you add energy to matter by heating it.

The molecules at warm temperatures differ from the molecules at cool temperatures because the molecules at warmer temperatures move around more.

The air on a hot day compares to the air on a cool day in the sense that on a hot day, air molecules have more energy.

Temperature is depends on the kinetic energy of molecules. Hence, the best description of temperature is motion of molecules.

The temperature of a body is the average kinetic energy of its molecules.  When two things that are not touching have the same temperature their molecules move at the same average speed.

Since a liquid receives energy when it is heated, when the liquid is boiled beyond its boiling point, It will become a gas.

The difference between heat and temperature is that temperature measures the motion of molecules, and heat is the energy of that motion.

You mix 125 mL of 0.170 M with 50.0 mL of 0.425 M in a coffee-cup calorimeter, and the temperature of both solutions rises from
kondaur [170]

Here is the correct question

You mix 125 mL of 0.170 M CsOH with 50.0 mL of 0.425 M HF in a coffee-cup calorimeter, and the temperature of both solutions rises from 20.20 °C before mixing to 22.17 °C after the reaction. What is the enthalpy of reaction per mole of ? Assume the densities of the solutions are all 1.00 g/mL, and the specific heat capacities of the solutions are 4.2 J/g · K. Enthalpy of reaction = kJ/mol

Answer:

75.059 kJ/mol

Explanation:

The formula for calculating density  is:

density = \frac{mass}{volume}\\

Making mass the subject of the formula; we have :

mass = density × volume

which can be rewritten as:

mass of the solution =  density × volume of the solution

= 1.00 g/mL × (125+ 50 ) mL

= 175 g

Specific heat capacity = 4.2 J/g.K

∴ the energy absorbed is = mcΔT

= 175 × 4.2 × (22.17 - 20.00) ° C

= 1594.95 J

= 1.595 J

number of moles of CsOH =  \frac{125}{1000} *100

= 0.2125 mole

Therefore; the enthalpy of the reaction = \frac{Energy \ absorbed }{number \ of \ moles}

= \frac{1.595}{0.02125}

= 75.059 kJ/mol

A sheet of aluminum foil has a total area of 1.000 m2 and a mass of 3.636 g. What is the thickness of the sheet in millimeters?
olga2289 [7]

Answer:

t=1.34\times 10^{-3}\ mm

Explanation:

Given that,

Area of sheet of Aluminium foil is 1 m²

Mass of the sheet = 3.636 g

The density of Aluminium, d=2.699\ g/cm^3

We need to find the thickness of the sheet in millimeters.

The density of an object is given in terms of its mass and volume as follows :

d=\dfrac{m}{V}

V = volume, V = A×t, t = thickness of the sheet

So,

d=\dfrac{m}{A\times t}\\\\t=\dfrac{m}{Ad}\\\\t=\dfrac{3.636\ g}{10000\ cm^2\times 2.699\ g/cm^3}\\\\t=0.000134\ cm

Since, 1 cm = 10 mm

So,

t = 0.00134 mm

or

t=1.34\times 10^{-3}\ mm
