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?

Ne4ueva [31]

Answer : The total mass of carbon dioxide and water produced will be, 65.7 grams.

Explanation :

Law of conservation of mass : It states that mass can neither be created nor be destroyed but it can only be transformed from one form to another form.

This also means that total mass on the reactant side must be equal to the total mass on the product side.

The balanced chemical reaction will be,

C_6H_{12}O_6+6O_2\rightarrow 6CO_2+6H_2O

According to the law of conservation of mass,

Total mass of reactant side = Total mass of product side

Total mass of C_6H_{12}O_6+6O_2 = Total mass of 6CO_2+6H_2O

As we are given :

Total mass of C_6H_{12}O_6+6O_2 = 65.7 grams

So,

65.7 grams = Total mass of 6CO_2+6H_2O

Therefore, the total mass of carbon dioxide and water produced will be, 65.7 grams.

A sample of gas has an initial volume of 3.88 l at a pressure of 707 mmhg . part a if the volume of the gas is increased to 5.43
JulsSmile [24]
Using boyles law
p1v1=p2v2
v1=3.88
v2=5.43
p1=707
p2=?
707x3.88=p2x5.43
2743.16/5.43=p2
p2=505mmHg

How many moles are there in 990 grams of sugar, C12H22011? (Sig Figs, do not
Nitella [24]

Answer:

Number of moles = 2.89 mol

Explanation:

Given data:

Number of moles of sugar  = ?

Mass of sugar = 990 g

Solution:

Formula:

Number of moles = mass/molar mass

Molar mass of C₁₂H₂₂O₁₁:

12× 12 + 22×1.008 + 16×11 = 342.2 g/mol

Number of moles = 990 g / 342.2 g/mol

Number of moles = 2.89 mol
