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%

Solution A is yellow when alizarin yellow is added and blue when thymol
alexira [117]

Answer:

D. 6.3 x 10-5 mol/L NaOH

Explanation:

Alizarin yellow is an indicator that is yellow when pH < 10.1. In the same way, thymol blue is blue when pH > 9

That means the pH of the solution is between 9 - 10.1

Any acid as HCl could have a pH of these.

The solution of 3.2x10⁻⁴M NaOH has a pH of:

pOH = -log[OH-] = 3.49

pH = 14-pOH = 10.51. The pH of the solution is not 10.5

Now, the solution of 6.3x10⁻⁵M NaOH has a pH:

pOH = -log[OH-] = 4.2

pH = 14-pOH = 9.8

The pH of the solution could be 9.8. Right option is:

<h3>D. 6.3 x 10-5 mol/L NaOH</h3>

Na2CO3 + 2HCl ---------&gt; 2NaCl + CO2 + H2O How many moles of NaCl are produced from the reaction of 1.67 x 1022 molecules of
dexar [7]

Answer:

0.0554 moles of NaCl are produced from the reaction of 1.67*10²² molecules of Na₂CO₃ with excess HCl.

Explanation:

The balanced reaction is:

Na₂CO₃ + 2 HCl → 2 NaCl + CO₂ + H₂O

By reaction stoichiometry (that is, the relationship between the amount of reagents and products in a chemical reaction), the following amounts of each compound participate in the reaction:

  • Na₂CO₃: 1 mole
  • HCl: 2 moles
  • NaCl: 2 moles
  • CO₂: 1 mole
  • H₂O: 1 mole

On the other hand, Avogadro's Number is called the number of particles that make up a substance (usually atoms or molecules) and that can be found in the amount of one mole of said substance. Its value is 6.023*10²³ particles per mole. Avogadro's number applies to any substance.

In this case, you can apply the following rule of three: if 6.023*10²³ molecules of Na₂CO₃ are contained in 1 mole, 1.67*10²² molecules will be contained in how many moles?

amount of moles=\frac{1.67*10^{22}molecules*1mole }{6.023*10^{23}molecules}

amount of moles= 0.0277 moles

In this case, you can apply the following rule of three: if by stoichiometry 1 mole of Na₂CO₃ produces 2 moles of NaCl, 0.0277 moles of Na₂CO₃ will produce how many moles of NaCl?

amount of moles of NaCl=\frac{0.0277 moles of Na_{2} CO_{3}*2 moles of NaCl }{1 mole of Na_{2} CO_{3}}

amount of moles of NaCl= 0.0554 moles

<u><em>0.0554 moles of NaCl are produced from the reaction of 1.67*10²² molecules of Na₂CO₃ with excess HCl.</em></u>

Nitrogen monoxide and hydrogen react to form nitrogen and water, like this: 2NO+2 H2(g)-N29)+2H2O(9) Write the pressure equilibr
lara31 [8.8K]

Answer:

Partial pressure N₂ . (Partial pressure H₂O)² / (Partial pressure H₂)² . (Partial pressure NO)² = Kp

Explanation:

The reaction is:

2NO + 2H₂ → N₂ + 2H₂O

The expression for Kp (pressure equilibrium constant) would be:

Partial pressure N₂ . (Partial pressure H₂O)² / (Partial pressure H₂)² . (Partial pressure NO)²

There is another expression for Kp, where you work with Kc (equilibrium constant)

Kp = Kc (R.T)^Δn

where R is the Ideal Gases constant

T° is absolute temperature

Δn = moles of gases formed - moles of gases, I had initially
