A 1.1000 gram carbonate sample chosen from Li2CO3, K2CO3, Na2CO3 and CaCO3 was reacted with H2SO4 and was found to lose 0.3497 g

ram of CO2. (1) Show the calculation of the % CO2 in the unknown carbonate sample. (2) Show the calculation of the % CO2 in each of the carbonate compounds and identify the unknown carbonate from the list. Atomic weights: C = 12.01, O = 16.00. MWs: Li2CO3 = 73.892, K2CO3 = 138.21, Na2CO3 = 105.99 and CaCO3 = 100.09

<u>Answer:</u>

<u>For 1:</u> The percentage composition of CO_2 in unknown carbonate sample is 31.79 %

<u>For 2:</u> The unknown carbonate sample is potassium carbonate.

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the percentage composition of carbon dioxide in sample, we use the equation:

\%\text{ composition of }CO_2=\frac{\text{Mass of }CO_2}{\text{Mass of sample}}\times 100     .....(1)

  • <u>For 1:</u>

Mass of sample = 1.1000 g

Mass of carbon dioxide = 0.3497 g

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

\%\text{ composition of }CO_2=\frac{0.3497g}{1.1000g}\times 100=31.79\%

Hence, the percentage composition of CO_2 in unknown carbonate sample is 31.79 %

  • <u>For 2:</u>

We are given:

Mass of carbon dioxide = [1\times 12.01)+(2\times 16.00)]=44.01g

  • <u>For lithium carbonate:</u>

Mass of lithium carbonate= 73.892 g

Mass of carbon dioxide = 44.01 g

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

\%\text{ composition of }CO_2=\frac{44.01g}{73.892g}\times 100=59.55\%

The percent composition of carbon dioxide in lithium carbonate is 59.55 %

  • <u>For potassium carbonate:</u>

Mass of potassium carbonate= 138.21 g

Mass of carbon dioxide = 44.01 g

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

\%\text{ composition of }CO_2=\frac{44.01g}{138.21g}\times 100=31.84\%

The percent composition of carbon dioxide in potassium carbonate is 31.84 %

  • <u>For sodium carbonate:</u>

Mass of sodium carbonate= 105.99 g

Mass of carbon dioxide = 44.01 g

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

\%\text{ composition of }CO_2=\frac{44.01g}{105.99g}\times 100=41.52\%

The percent composition of carbon dioxide in sodium carbonate is 41.52 %

  • <u>For calcium carbonate:</u>

Mass of calcium carbonate = 100.09 g

Mass of carbon dioxide = 44.01 g

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

\%\text{ composition of }CO_2=\frac{44.01g}{100.09g}\times 100=43.97\%

The percent composition of carbon dioxide in calcium carbonate is 43.97 %

As, the percent composition of carbon dioxide in the unknown sample matches the percent composition of carbon dioxide in potassium carbonate.

Hence, the unknown carbonate sample is potassium carbonate.

Lab report for physical and chemical changes??!
slega [8]

Answer:

[See Below]

Explanation:

✦ Physical Changes:

  ✧ Is when the form changes, but not the chemicals in that form.

  ✧ An example of this would be chopping wood. It's still wood but it's a different size now. It's easier to burn it since it's smaller.

✦ Chemical Changes:

  ✧ Is when the chemicals inside that form change to something else entirely

  ✧ An example would be an egg, when you cook the egg it can turn into being scrambled or fried. But you can't eat the raw egg until the chemicals change.

Consider the following reaction where Kc = 1.80×10-2 at 698 K:2 HI (g) H2 (g) + I2 (g)A reaction mixture was found to contain 0.
Iteru [2.4K]

Answer:

Answer for the given statements: (1) T , (2) F , (3) T , (4) F , (5) F

Explanation:

At the given interval, concentration of HI = \frac{0.304}{1}M=0.304M

Concentration of H_{2} = \frac{5.07\times 10^{-2}}{1}M=5.07\times 10^{-2}M

Concentration of I_{2} = \frac{4.57\times 10^{-2}}{1}M=4.57\times 10^{-2}M

Reaction quotient,Q_{c} , for this reaction = \frac{[H_{2}][I_{2}]}{[HI]^{2}}

species inside third bracket represents concentrations at the given interval.

So, Q_{c}=\frac{(5.07\times 10^{-2})\times (4.57\times 10^{-2})}{(0.304)^{2}}=2.51\times 10^{-2}

So, the reaction is not at equilibrium.

As Q_{c}> K_{c} therefore reaction must run in reverse direction to reduce Q_{c} and make it equal to K_{c}. That means HI(g) must be produced and H_{2} must be consumed.

Using the Hoffman apparatus for electrolysis, a chemist decomposes 2.3 moles of water into its gaseous elements. How many grams
solong [7]

Answer:

2.318032g

Explanation:

-The electrolysis equation of water is written as below:

2H_2O_{(l)}->2H_2_{(g)}+O_2_{(g)}

-The mole ratio of Water to the hydrogen formed is 1:1, therefore 2.3 moles of hydrogen gas is produced.

-Hydrogen's molar mass is 1.00784 grams:

Mass=moles\times molar \ mass\\\\\=2.3\times 1.00784\\\\=2.318032\ g

Hence, 2.318032 grams of hydrogen is produced.
