At high temperatures, calcium carbonate (CaCO3) decomposes to form calcium oxide (CaO) and carbon dioxide (CO2) gas. The average

mass of 1 calcium oxide molecule is 56.079 amu, and the average mass of 1 carbon dioxide molecule is 44.009 amu.
CaCO3 CaO + CO2
Which is the total mass of the 1 calcium carbonate molecule?
A. 12.070 amu
B. 44.009 amu
C. 56.079 amu
D. 100.088 amu

Answer:

Option D is correct

Explanation:

The individual mass of reactants in the reaction are

Calcium Oxide (CaO) =  56.079 amu

Carbon dioxide (CO2) = 44.009 amu

Since this reaction is a simple addition reaction in which no mass of the reactants is wasted. Also, no energy is released accompanied by conversion of mass into energy.

Hence, total mass of reactants would be equal to the mass of the product.

Thus, mass of calcium carbonate i.e CaCO3  is

= 56.079 + 44.009 \\

= 100.08 amu

Hence, option D is correct

Which of the following best summarizes the ideal gas law?
8090 [49]

Answer:

Option C. PV = nRT

Explanation:

The ideal gas gas equation gives the relationship between pressure, volume, number mole a gas and temperature of gas.

Mathematically, the ideal gas equation is given as:

PV = nRT

Where:

P is the pressure measured in atmosphere (atm).

V is the volume measured in litres(L) or cubic decimetre (dm³).

n is the number of mole of gas.

R is the gas constant (0.0821atm.L/Kmol)

T is temperature measured in Kelvin (K).

Aliun [14]

heterogeneous mixture, because, the layers are called phases and a heterogeneous mixture has two or more phases. the oil phase is less dense then water so it floats on top, etc.

Identify the false statement from the following.
LUCKY_DIMON [66]

The false statement from the above is that: Temporary charge imbalances in the molecules lead to London dispersion forces.

<h3>What are the factors that affect London dispersion forces?</h3>

Generally, the factors which affects the London dispersion forces a dispersion force are as follows:

  • Shape of the molecules
  • Distance between molecules
  • Polarizability of the molecules

However, London dispersion forces simply refers to a sort of temporary attractive force formed when electrons in two adjacent atoms occupy positions that make the atoms form dipoles.

So therefore, temporary charge imbalances in the molecules lead to London dispersion forces is a false statement
