Answer:

A solute is a substance that dissolves in a solvent to for a solution.Example; Sugar.

A solvent is a substance that dissolves a solute to form a solution.Example ;water.

A solution is a uniform mixture of a solute and a solvent.

aq means aqueous

In fiteration the residues are called filtrates but in crystalization the residues are called crystals .

<u>Answer:</u> 0.0237 g of calcium carbonate would be required to neutralize the given amount of HCl

<u>Explanation:</u>

pH is defined as the negative logarithm of hydrogen ion concentration present in the solution

$pH=-\log [H^+]$ .....(1)

Given value of pH = 1.5

Putting values in equation 1:

$1.5=-\log[H^+]$

$[H^+]=10^{(-1.5)}=0.0316M$

Molarity is defined as the amount of solute expressed in the number of moles present per liter of solution. The units of molarity are mol/L. The formula used to calculate molarity:

$\text{Molarity of solution}=\frac{\text{Number of moles of solute}\times 1000}{\text{Volume of solution (mL)}}$ .....(2)

We are given:

Volume of solution = 15.0 mL

Molarity of HCl = 0.0316 M

Putting values in equation 2:

$0.0316=\frac{\text{Moles of HCl}\times 1000}{15.0}\\\\\text{Moles of HCl}=\frac{0.0316\times 15.0}{1000}=4.74\times 10^{-4}mol$

The chemical equation for the reaction of HCl and calcium carbonate follows:

$2HCl+CaCO_3\rightarrow H_2CO_3+CaCl_2$

By the stoichiometry of the reaction:

2 moles of HCl reacts with 1 mole of calcium carbonate

So, $4.74\times 10^{-4}mol$ of HCl will react with = $\frac{1}{2}\times 4.74\times 10^{-4}=2.37\times 10^{-4}mol$ of calcium carbonate

The number of moles is defined as the ratio of the mass of a substance to its molar mass.

$\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}$

Moles of calcium carbonate = $2.37\times 10^{-4}mol$

Molar mass of calcium carbonate = 100.01 g/mol

Putting values in the above equation:

$\text{Mass of }CaCO_3=(2.37\times 10^{-4}mol)\times 100.01g/mol\\\\\text{Mass of }CaCO_3=0.0237g$

Hence, 0.0237 g of calcium carbonate would be required to neutralize the given amount of HCl

Marcia is given an incomplete chemical equation that includes the number of nitrogen atoms present in the products of the reacti

Anna [14]

Answer: There would have to be three nitrogen atoms in the products. The law of conservation of matter states that the amount of substance before a reaction occurs should be the same as the amount of substance after the reaction.

Explanation: This is the EXACT sample answer from the test, just reword it if you want. ^
