Answer:
- <em>The average mass of calcium in each sample is: </em><u>0.978 g</u>
<em />
- <em>The absolute uncertainty is: </em><u>0.008 g</u>
Explanation:
The <em>absolute uncertainty </em>of the total samples indicated in the statement is ± 0.1 g.
When you multiply or divide quantities with uncertainties, you calculate the final uncertanty by adding the <em>relative uncertainties</em> together.
The relative uncertainty is the absolute uncertainty divided by the quantity:
- Relative uncertainty = 0.1g / 12.2 g = 0.008
The average mass of calcium is calculated using proportions, along with the molar masses:
- Molar mass of calcium: 40.078 g/ mol (from a periodic table)
- Molar mass of calcite: 100.085 g/mol (given)
Proportion:
- 40.078 g of calcium / 100.085 g of calcite = x / 12.2 g of calcite
- x = 12.2 × 40.078 / 100.085 g = 4.89 g calcium
So the total mass of calcium in the five samples is 4.89 g, and the average mass in each sample is:
- Average mass = total mass of five samples / number of samples
- Average mass = 4.89 g / 5 = <u>0.978 g of calcium</u>
So, the first answer is that the average mass of calcium in each sample is 0.978 g ( keep 3 signficant figures, such as the quntitiy 12.2 shows, as you have only used multiplication and division).
The absolute uncertainty of each sample is the relative uncertainty multiplied by the average mass of calcium of the five samples, rounded to one decimal:
- Absolute uncertainty = 0.978 g × 0.008 ≈ 0.008 g
The answer to the secon question is that the absolute uncertaingy of calcium in each sample is 0.008 g.
What is a Lewis acid-base reaction?
In the Lewis theory of acid-base reactions, bases donate pairs of electrons and acids accept pairs of electrons.
A Lewis acid is therefore any substance, such as the H+ ion, that can accept a pair of nonbonding electrons. In other words, a Lewis acid is an electron-pair acceptor.
A Lewis base is any substance, such as the OH- ion, that can donate a pair of nonbonding electrons. A Lewis base is therefore an electron-pair donor.
The Lewis theory suggests that acids react with bases to share a pair of electrons, with no change in the oxidation numbers of any atoms.

It is highly reactive and when it is kept in open it does react with the oxygen present in the surroundings and burns therefore it is kept immersed in kerosene and please thank me and if you need more comment
