When a solid mixture of mgco3 and caco3 is heated strongly, carbon dioxide gas is given off and a solid mixture of mgo and cao i

s obtained. if a 24.00 g sample of a mixture of mgco3 and caco3 produces 12.00 g co2, then what is the percentage by mass of mgco3 in the original mixture? express your answer u?

MgCO3---> MgO +CO2  , x mol MgCO3       
M(MgCO3)=24.3+12.0+48.0=84.3 g/mol

CaCO3--->CaO+CO2   , y mol CaCO3   
M(CaCO3)=40.0+12.0+48.0=100g/mol     
M(CO2)=44.0

x*84.3 + y*100=24.00
x*44+y*44=12.00            x+y=12/44=0.2727, x=0.2727-y
(0.2727-y)*84.3 + y*100=24.00
22.99-84.3y+100y=24.00
22.99+15.7y= 24.00,     15.7y=1.01,    y=0.06430 mol CaCO3
x=0.2727-0.06430=0.2084 mol MgCO3
0.06430 mol CaCO3*100g/mol=6.43 g CaCO3
0.2084 mol MgCO3*84.3g/mol=17.57 g MgCO3
what does it mean express your answer u?

How do I solve the following word problem: The half-life of Phosphorus - 32 is 14.3 days. It is used to study a plant's use of f
BaLLatris [955]

Half life is the time that it takes for half of the original value of some amount of a radioactive element to decay.

We have the following equation representing the half-life decay:

A=A_o\times2^{(-\frac{t}{t_{half}})_{}_{}}

A is the resulting amount after t time

Ao is the initial amount = 50 mg

t= Elapsed time

t half is the half-life of the substance = 14.3 days

We replace the know values into the equation to have an exponential decay function for a 50mg sample

A=\text{ 50 }\times2^{\frac{-t}{14.3}}

That would be the answer for a)

To know the P-32 remaining after 84 days we have to replace this value in the equation:

\begin{gathered} A=\text{ 50 }\times2^{\frac{-84}{14.3}} \\ A=0.85\text{ mg} \end{gathered}

So, after 84 days the P-32 remaining will be 0.85 mg

Based on the graph of US population and steel consumption, what could have led to the increase in steel consumption seen
polet [3.4K]

Answer:

A. Whenever the population has increased, steel consumption has increased as well.

Explanation:

Based on the graph of US population and steel consumption, what could have led to the increase in steel consumption seen  on the graph is that whenever the population has increased, steel consumption has increased as well.

A critical look at the graph, you will discover that the population and the steel consumption are moving upwards (i.e they are increasing). It's seen that as the population increases, steel consumption increases. This is true because as the population increases, people are building houses, more transportation systems that require steel are being manufactured, more household utensils that are steel products are being fabricated etc; therefore the consumption of steel increases.
