Answer:

A wave transfers energy through a medium or empty space without transporting matter.

Explanation:

A wave is a transmission of a disturbance from one point known as the source to another.
Waves may transfer energy through a material medium or a vacuum without transporting matter.
Waves that transfer energy from one point to another through a material medium are known as mechanical waves.
Electromagnetic waves, on the other hand, are those that do not require a material medium for transmission, the transfer of energy is through a vacuum.
Waves can also be either transverse or longitudinal waves based on the vibration of particles relative to the direction of wave motion.

Determine the mass of CaCO3 required to produce 40.0 mL CO2 at STP. Hint use molar volume of an ideal gas (22.4 L)

cupoosta [38]

Answer:

$m_{CaCO_3}=0.179gCaCO_3$

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, since the undergoing chemical reaction is:

$CaCO_3(s)\rightarrow CaO(s)+CO_2(g)$

The corresponding moles of carbon dioxide occupying 40.0 mL (0.0400 L) are computed by using the ideal gas equation at 273.15 K and 1.00 atm (STP) as follows:

$PV=nRT\\\\n=\frac{PV}{RT}=\frac{1.00 atm*0.0400L}{0.082\frac{atm*L}{mol*K}*273.15 K})=1.79x10^{-3} mol CO_2$

Then, since the mole ratio between carbon dioxide and calcium carbonate is 1:1 and the molar mass of the reactant is 100 g/mol, the mass that yields such volume turns out:

$m_{CaCO_3}=1.79x10^{-3}molCO_2*\frac{1molCaCO_3}{1molCO_2} *\frac{100g CaCO_3}{1molCaCO_3}\\ \\m_{CaCO_3}=0.179gCaCO_3$
