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%

Acetic acid (CH3COOH) is a weak acid that partially dissociates in water. Given the reaction CH3COOH(aq) ↔ CH3COO−(aq) + H+(aq)
likoan [24]

Answer:

The correct answer is: 1.035 x 10⁻³ M

Explanation:

The dissociation equilibrium for acetic acid (CH₃COOH) is the following:

CH₃COOH(aq) ↔ CH₃COO⁻(aq) + H⁺(aq)  Kc = 1.8 x 10⁻⁵

The expression for the equilibrium constant (Kc) is the ratio of concentrations of products over reactants. The products are acetate ion (CH₃COO⁻) and hydrogen ion (H⁺) while the reactant is acetic acid (CH₃COOH):

Kc=\frac{[CH_{3} COO^{-} ][H^{+} ]}{[CH_{3} COOH]}= 1.8 x 10^{-5}

Given: [CH₃COOH]= 0.016 M and [CH₃COO⁻]= 0.92 M, we replace the concentrations in the equilibrium expression and we calculate [H⁺]:

\frac{(0.016 M)[H^{+} ]}{(0.92M)}= 1.8 x 10^{-5}

⇒[H⁺]= (1.8 x 10⁻⁵)(0.92 M)/(0.016 M)= 1.035 x 10⁻³ M

13. An aerosol spray can of deodorant with a volume of 0.410 L contains 3.0 g of propane gas (CH3) as propellant. What is the pr
qaws [65]

Answer: The pressure in the can is 4.0 atm

Explanation:

According to ideal gas equation:

PV=nRT

P = pressure of gas = ?

V = Volume of gas = 0.410 L

n = number of moles = \frac{\text {given mass}}{\text {Molar mass}}=\frac{3.0g}{44.1g/mol}=0.068mol

R = gas constant =0.0821Latm/Kmol

T =temperature =20^0C=(20+273)K=293K

P=\frac{nRT}{V}

P=\frac0.068mol\times 0.0820 L atm/K mol\times 293K}{0.410L}=4.0atm

Thus the pressure in the can is 4.0 atm

Question 1-19
Hunter-Best [27]

The experiment involving the determination of the number of ice cubes required to keep the temperature of the glass under 15 degrees Celcius, the following things have to be kept in mid:

  • The<u> temperature</u> of the surroundings
  • The initial temperature of the <u>glass</u>
  • The <u>number of ice cubes </u>added to the water in the glass

In order to keep into consideration the changing environmental temperatures (which is a variable in the experiment), the experiment had to be conducted daily to get <u><em>accurate results </em></u>keeping into consideration all the factors.

Lostsunrise [7]

Answer:

<h2>The sequence is; b, e, a, d, c </h2>

Explanation:

1. In a decomposition reaction; One reactant is broken down into two or more than two products is called decomposition.

2. A combustion reaction; A fuel is combined with oxygen to produce carbon dioxide and water, this reaction is called combustion reaction.

3. A synthesis reaction; it occurs when two or more reactants combine to form one product is known as synthesis reaction.

4. Double Replacement Reaction; Two compounds react to form two different compounds is known as double Replacement Reaction.

5.  A single replacement reaction; occurs when a compound reacts with an element to form a new compound , this reaction is called as  single replacement reaction.
