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?

Water has a higher boiling point than expected because
Nadya [2.5K]
Evaporation occurs when water molecules on the surface gain enough energy to enter the atmosphere. However, stronger intermolecular forces between water molecules cause them to be strongly attracted to each other and to tend to stay in the liquid phase. When the temperature is raised (when heat is applied), more molecules gain the energy needed to escape these intermolecular forces and go into the vapor phase.
Therefore the best answer is D.

Sam prepares a solution of sodium chloride with a concentration of 8 g/dm³. If he only used 2g of sodium chloride, what volume o
adoni [48]

The volume of water he dissolved the solute is 250 cubic centimeter.

<u>Explanation</u>:

            Concentration = mass of solute in g / volume in dm^3

The concentration of a solution is defined as the ratio of mass of solute in grams to the volume of water in dm^3.

If concentration of a solution = 8 g/dm^3.

mass of solute =2 g.

Volume of a water = 2 / 8 = 0.25 dm^3. (or) 250 cubic centimeter.
