What mistake did Carl make?

Answer:
The correct answer is:
'He did not multiply the chlorine and oxygen atoms by the coefficient 4'.
Explanation:
Number of atoms in
The 4 in front of molecular formula of calcium chlorate is its coefficient . it tells us about the molecules or moles of compound.
Number of calcium in 1 molecule of calcium chlorate = 1
Calcium atoms in 4 molecule of calcium chlorate = 1 × 4 = 4
Number of calcium in 1 molecule of calcium chlorate = 2
Chlorine atoms in 4 molecule of calcium chlorate = 2 × 4 = 8
Number of oxygen in 1 molecule of calcium chlorate = 3 × 2 = 6
Oxygen atoms in 4 molecule of calcium chlorate = 6 × 4 = 24
So, number of atoms of different elements calculated by Carl was wrong as he didn't multiplied the coefficient 4 with chlorine and oxygen atoms.

Answer:
6.53 m/s²
Explanation:
Let m₁ = 5 kg and m₂ = 10 kg. The figure is attached and free body diagrams of the objects are also attached.
Both objects (m₁ and m₂) have the same magnitude of acceleration(a). Let g be the acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s². Hence:
T = m₁a (1)
m₂g - T = m₂a (2)
substituting T = m₁a in equation 2:
m₂g - m₁a = m₂a
m₂a + m₁a = m₂g
a(m₁ + m₂) = m₂g
a = m₂g / (m₁ + m₂)
a = (10 kg * 9.8 m/s²) / (10 kg + 5 kg) = 6.53 m/s²
Both objects have an acceleration of 6.53 m/s²
