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%

Whoever awser correct I will give you Brainly
vivado [14]

Answer:

Option A.

2Na + 2H2O —> 2NaOH + H2

Explanation:

To know which option is correct, we shall do a head count of the number of atoms present on both side to see which of them is balanced. This is illustrated below below:

For Option A:

2Na + 2H2O —> 2NaOH + H2

Reactant >>>>>>> Product

2 Na >>>>>>>>>>> 2 Na

4 H >>>>>>>>>>>> 4 H

2 O >>>>>>>>>>>> 2 O

Thus, the above equation is balanced.

For Option B:

2Na + 2H2O —> NaOH + H2

Reactant >>>>>>> Product

2 Na >>>>>>>>>>> 1 Na

4 H >>>>>>>>>>>> 3 H

2 O >>>>>>>>>>>> 1 O

Thus, the above equation is not balanced.

For Option C:

2Na + H2O —> 2NaOH + H2

Reactant >>>>>>> Product

2 Na >>>>>>>>>>> 2 Na

2 H >>>>>>>>>>>> 4 H

1 O >>>>>>>>>>>> 2 O

Thus, the above equation is not balanced.

For Option D:

Na + 2H2O —> NaOH + 2H2

Reactant >>>>>>> Product

1 Na >>>>>>>>>>> 1 Na

4 H >>>>>>>>>>>> 5 H

2 O >>>>>>>>>>>> 1 O

Thus, the above equation is not balanced.

From the illustrations made above, only option A is balanced.

If 4.168 kJ of heat is added to a calorimeter containing 75.40 g of water, the temperature of the water and the calorimeter incr
Alinara [238K]

Answer:

The value of  the heat capacity of the Calorimeter  C_c = 54.4 \frac{J}{c}

Explanation:

Given data

Heat added Q = 4.168 KJ = 4168 J

Mass of water m_w = 75.40 gm

Temperature change = ΔT = 35.82 - 24.58 = 11.24 ° c

From the given condition

Q = m_w C_w ΔT + C_c ΔT

Put all the values in above equation we get

4168 = 75.70 × 4.18 × 11.24 +  C_c × 11.24

611.37 =  C_c × 11.24

C_c = 54.4 \frac{J}{c}

This is the value of  the heat capacity of the Calorimeter.
