Answer:

CaCO₃ = 85.18%

BaCO₃ = 14.82%

Explanation:

The acid will react with the salts, the partial reactions are:

CaCO₃ + 2HCl → CaCl₂ + CO₂ + H₂O

BaCO₃ + 2HCl → BaCl₂ + CO₂ + H₂O

So, the total amount of CaCO₃ BaCO₃ will form the CO₂.

Using the ideal gas law to calculate the number of moles of CO₂:

PV = nRT, where P is the pressure, V is the volume, n is the number of moles, R is the gas constant (0.082 atm*L/mol*K), and T is the temperature (50ºC + 273 = 323 K).

0.904*1.39 = n*0.082*323

26.486n = 1.25656

n = 0.05 mol

So, the number of moles of the mixture is 0.05 mol.

The molar masses of the components are:

CaCO₃ = 40 g/mol of Ca + 12 g/mol of C + 3*16 g/mol of O = 100 g/mol

BaCO₃ = 137.3 g/mol of Ba + 12 g/mol of C + 3*16 g/mol of O = 197.3 g/mol

Let's call x the number of moles of CaCO₃ and y the number of moles of BaCO₃, so:

100x + 197.3y = 5.4

x + y = 0.05 mol

y = 0.05 - x

100x + 197.3*(0.05 - x) = 5.4

100x - 197.3x = 5.4 - 9.865

97.3x = 4.465

x = 0.046 mol of CaCO₃

y = 0.004 mol of BaCO₃

So, the masses are:

CaCO₃ = 100* 0.046 = 4.60 g

BaCO₃ = 137.3*0.004 = 0.80 g

The percentages in the mixture are:

CaCO₃ = (4.60/5.40)*100% = 85.18%

BaCO₃ = (0.80/5.40)*100% = 14.82%

We have a sample of water vapor which cools from 150 °C to 125 °C. What happens to the motion of the molecules during this time
pentagon [3]

The motion of the molecules decreases.

<u>Explanation</u>:

  • Gases are formed when the energy in a system overcomes the attractive forces between the molecules. The gases expand to fill the space they occupy. In this way, the gas molecules interact little. In the gaseous state, the molecules move very quickly. As the temperature decreases, the amount of movement of the individual molecules also decreases.
  • The fast-moving particle slows down. When a particle speeds up, it has more kinetic energy. When a particle slows down, it has less kinetic energy. The particles in solid form are commonly connected through electrostatic powers. They don't get enough space to move around, therefore, their speed diminishes, they can't keep their standard speed like in the vaporous or fluid state.

What action would you expect an atom of Aluminum to undergo?
KATRIN_1 [288]

Answer:

C. Lose three electrons to have a full outer shell  

Explanation:

Al is in Group 13 of the Periodic Table, so it has three valence electrons.

It must either lose three electrons or gain five to achieve a stable octet.

It is easier to lose three electrons than it is to gain five, so Al loses three electrons.

D. is wrong, for the same reason.

A. is wrong. If Al lost three electrons, it would be breaking into a stable inner shell.

C. is wrong. Al is a metal, so it will lose electrons in a reaction.

A second reaction mixture was made up in the following way:
Leya [2.2K]

A. We can calculate the initial concentrations of each by the formula:

initial concentration ci = initial volume * initial concentration / total mixture volume

where,

total mixture volume = 10 mL + 20 mL + 10 mL + 10 mL = 50 mL

ci (acetone) = 10 mL * 4.0 M / 50 mL = 0.8 M

ci (H+) = 20 mL * 1.0 M / 50 mL = 0.4 M   (note: there is only 1 H+ per 1 HCl)

ci (I2) = 10 mL * 0.0050 M / 50 mL = 0.001 M

 

B. The rate of reaction is determined to be complete when all of I2 is consumed. This is signified by complete disappearance of I2 color in the solution. The rate therefore is:

rate of reaction = 0.001 M / 120 seconds

rate of reaction = 8.33 x 10^-6 M / s
