Answer:
16.02 g
Explanation:
the balanced equation for the decomposition of CuCO₃ is as follows
CuCO₃ --> CuO + CO₂
molar ratio of CuCO₃ to CO₂ is 1:1
number of CuCO₃ moles decomposed - 45 g / 123.5 g/mol = 0.364 mol
according to the molar ratio
1 mol of CuCO₃ decomposes to form 1 mol of CO₂
therefore 0.364 mol of CuCO₃ decomposes to form 0.364 mol of CO₂
number of CO₂ moles produced - 0.364 mol
therefore mass of CO₂ produced - 0.364 mol x 44 g/mol = 16.02 g
16.02 g of CO₂ produced
Hello!
The mass number in isotope notation is denoted A, the atomic number is denoted as Z, and the element is denoted as X.
In the given isotope, the mass of the isotope is 212 amu, and the atomic number is 82.
We know that the number of electrons, and protons are equal to the atomic number. Therefore, there are 82 protons. Also, to find the number of neutrons, we subtract the atomic number from the atomic mass.
212 - 82 = 130 neutrons
<u>Final answers</u>:
- Atomic Number: 82
- Mass number: 212
- Number of Protons: 82
- Number of Neutrons: 130
The one that is observed or measured in the experiment, and it is known as the dependent variable.
