<span> An object with a high specific heat would change temperature more slowly than one with low specific heat. Water, for example has a very high specific heat so it requires a lot of energy to heat it up. It also takes a while for water to cool down because it holds that heat for a long time. <3</span>
A is obviously out because it leads to a volume of 125.0 milliliters of the new solution and gives you a lower concentration than you were aiming for.
D is out because you are adding 75 milliliters of the stock solution, so your concentration would be too high. You only need 25.0 milometers of stock solution per 100 milliliters of the new solution.
C is also out because it leads to 50.0 milliliters stock solution per 100 milliliters of the new solution and hence the wrong concentration.
B is by default the correct answer. It also details the correct technique. First you add the stock solution (This you know from your calculations to be 25 milliliters.) then you add the water up to the volume you needed. (Because the calculations only tell you the total volume of water not what you need to add) You also add the water last so you can rinse the neck of the flask to make sure you also get all the stock solution residue into the stock solution.
I would add the final step of stirring, but B is the only answer that can be correct.
Calcium carbonate has the formula: CaCO3
From the periodic table:
mass of calcium = 40 grams
mass of carbon = 12 grams
mass of oxygen = 16 grams
Therefore,
molar mass of CaCO3 = 40 + 12 + 3(16) = 100 grams
molar mass of carbonate = 12 + 3(16) = 60 grams
One mole of calcium carbonate contains one mole of carbonate. Therefore, 100 grams of CaCO3 contains 60 grams of CO3.
If the 0.5376 grams of the unknown substance is CaCO3, then the amount of carbonate will be:
amount of carbonate = (0.5376*60) / 100 = 0.32256 grams
Based on the above calculations, the sample is not CaCO3
