A sample of sandstone consists of only silica (SiO2) and calcite (CaCO3). When sandstone is heated, calcium carbonate decomposes

to calcium oxide and carbon dioxide. Silica does not decompose. A 18.7 mg sample of the sandstone rock yields 3.95 mg of carbon dioxide.i) What is the mass of calcium carbonate in the sandstone rock in milligrams?ii) What is the percent of calcium carbonate in the sandstone rock?iii) What is the percentage of silica in sandstone rock?

Study the reaction. X(s) + 2B(aq)→ X+(aq) + B2(g) Under which circumstances will the reaction rate be highest? A) the solid X is
Tems11 [23]

Answer:

Option (A) the solid X is ground to a fine powder.

Explanation:

X(s) + 2B(aq) → X+(aq) + B2(g)

In the reaction above, the rate of the reaction will be highest, when X being a solid is ground to fine powder.

Grounding X to fine powder simply means increasing the surface area of X.

An increase in surface area of reactants will definitely increase the rate of reaction because the particles of the solid will collide with the right orientation and hence speed up the reaction rate.

A solution is prepared by mixing 25.0 g H2O and 25.0 g C2H5OH. Determine the mole fractions of each substance.
Veronika [31]

Answer:

Mole fraction H₂O → 0.72

Mole fraction C₂H₅OH → 0.28

Explanation:

By the mass of the two elements in the solution, we determine the moles of each:

25 g . 1 mol/ 18g = 1.39 moles of water (solute)

25 g . 1 mol / 46 g = 0.543 moles of ethanol (solvent)

Mole fraction solute = Moles of solute / Total moles

Mole fraction solvent = Moles of solvent / Total moles

Total moles = Moles of solute + Moles of solvent

1.39 moles of solute + 0.543 moles of solvent = 1.933 moles → Total moles

Mole fraction H₂O = 1.39 / 1.933 → 0.72

Mole fraction C₂H₅OH= 0.543 / 1.933 → 0.28

Remember that sum of mole fractions = 1

The solubility of magnesium phosphate at a given temperature is 0.173 g/L. Calculate the Ksp at this temperature. After you calc
jek_recluse [69]

Answer: K_{sp}=1.25\times 10^{-14}

pK_{sp}=13.90

Explanation:

Solubility product is defined as the equilibrium constant in which a solid ionic compound is dissolved to produce its ions in solution. It is represented as K_{sp}  

The equation for the ionization of magnesium phosphate is given as:

Mg_3(PO_4)_2\rightarrow 3Mg^{2+}+2PO_4^{3-}

 When the solubility of Mg_3(PO_4)_2 is S moles/liter, then the solubility of Mg^{2+} will be 3S moles\liter and solubility of PO_4^{3-} will be 2S moles/liter.

Thus S = 0.173 g/L or \frac{0.173g/L}{262.8g/mol}=0.00065mol/L

K_{sp}=(3S)^3\times (2S)^2

K_{sp}=108S^5

K_{sp}=108\times (0.00065)^5=1.25\times 10^{-14}

pK_{sp}=-log(K_{sp})=\log (1.25\times 10^{-14})=13.90
