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%

Answer:

A. Gas atoms subjected to electricity emit bright lines of light

Explanation:

When subjected to electricity, the electrons of a gas atom are <em>excited</em>. From that excited energy level, the electrons eventually go back to their initial state; this <u>transition</u> is done by emitting photons at a specific wavelength (causing an emission of bright lines of light).

Such is the mechanism of gas-discharge lamps tipically found in households.

the term diffusion comes from a latin word meaning to spread apart. how is the term diffusion related to its latin word of origi
Nitella [24]

it means basically the same thing but can be used in different context. like if someone says, "lets diffuse the situation." it means lets separate it and find out what's going on with it. Like if you don't understand a sentence when you were younger your teacher would tell you to break down the sentence, and try to use context clues. What you are doing is diffusing the sentence so that your not looking at it as one big confusing sentence, your "breaking it down" and that helps you a lot. I hope I helped you, if not let me know and I can diffuse the topic a little more to make it more approachable and easy to understand. :)

What is the molarity of a solution that contains 87.75g of NaCI in 500.ml of solution
Brut [27]

Answer:

M = 3.0 mol/L.

Explanation:

  • We can calculate the molarity of a solution using the relation:

<em>M = (mass x 1000) / (molar mass x V)</em>

  • M is the molarity "number of moles of solute per 1.0 L of the solution.
  • mass is the mass of the solute (g) (m = 87.75 g of NaCl).
  • molar mass of NaCl = 58.44 g/mol.
  • V is the volume of the solution (ml) (V = 500.0 ml).

∴ M = (mass x 1000) / (molar mass x V) = (87.75 g x 1000) / (58.44 g/mol x 500.0 ml) = 3.0 mol/L.

In a hospital laboratory, a 10.0 mL sample of gastric juice (predominantly HCl), obtained several hours after a meal, was titrat
LiRa [457]

Answer: 1.14

Explanation:

HCl+NaOH\rightarrow NaCl+H_2O

To calculate the molarity of acid, we use the equation given by neutralization reaction:

n_1M_1V_1=n_2M_2V_2

where,

n_1,M_1\text{ and }V_1 are the n-factor, molarity and volume of acid which is HCl

are the n-factor, molarity and volume of base which is NaOH.

We are given:

n_1=1\\M_1=?\\V_1=10.0mL\\n_2=1\\M_2=0.1M\\V_2=7.2mL

Putting values in above equation, we get:

1\times M_1\times 10.0=1\times 0.1\times 7.2\\\\M_1=0.072M

To calculate pH of gastric juice:

molarity of H^+ = 0.072

pH=-log[H^+]

pH=-log(0.072)=1.14

Thus the pH of the gastric juice is 1.14
