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%

GaryK [48]
<span>First we can calculate the area of the rectangular lawn using the formula:
Area = Width x Length = 21 ft x 20 ft = 420 square feet
       
And the total number of snow flakes per minute on the entire lawn is:
   
(1350 snowflakes per minute per square foot) x (420 square feet) = 567,000 snowflakes per minute
       
In one hour (or 60 minutes) we get a total of:
   
(567,000 snowflakes per minute) x (60 minutes / 1 hour) = 34,020,000 snowflakes
       
The total mass of which would be:
   
34,020,000 snowflakes x 1.60 mg = 54,432,000 mg = 54.432 kg (as 1 kg = 1,000,000 mg).
       
So 54.432 kg of snow accumulates every hour on the lawn.</span>
