How to calculate percentage change in mass

1 answer:

3 0

In order to find the percentage change in mass, you must divide Change in Mass by Initial Mass. After that, you divide the change in mass by the initial mass of your substance.

This calculation shows what proportion of the initial mass changed. To find the percent change, simply multiply this number by 100

I have 2 samples of solid chalk (aka calcium carbonate). Sample A has a total mass of 4.12 g and Sample B has a total mass of 19

IRINA_888 [86]

Answer:

A) Sample B has more calcium carbonate molecules

Explanation:

M = Molar mass of calcium carbonate = 100.0869 g/mol

$N_A$ = Avogadro's number = $6.022\times 10^{23}\ \text{mol}^{-1}$

For the 4.12 g sample

Moles of a substance is given by

$n=\dfrac{m}{M}\\\Rightarrow n=\dfrac{4.12}{100.0869}\\\Rightarrow n=0.0411\ \text{mol}$

Number of molecules is given by

$nN_A=0.0411\times 6.022\times 10^{23}=2.48\times 10^{22}\ \text{molecules}$

For the 19.37 g sample

$n=\dfrac{19.37}{100.0869}\\\Rightarrow n=0.193\ \text{mol}$

Number of molecules is given by

$nN_A=0.193\times 6.022\times 10^{23}=1.16\times 10^{23}\ \text{molecules}$

$1.16\times 10^{23}\ \text{molecules}>2.48\times 10^{22}\ \text{molecules}$

So, sample B has more calcium carbonate molecules.

The ratio of the elements of carbon, oxygen, calcium atoms, ions, has to be same in both the samples otherwise the samples cannot be considered as calcium carbonate. Same is applicable for impurities. If there are impurites then the sample cannot be considered as calcium carbonate.
