Ca(s)+2Hcl(aq) ------>CaCl2(s)+H2(g)
Given that <span>sample a has a higher melting point than sample
b. Therefore, sample a is a longer chain of a </span><span>fatlike solid substance. It could also be that the bonds present in sample a is much stronger which will require more energy to break. Hope this answers the question.</span>
Answer: The sample that contains the greater number of molecules is water.
Explanation: To calculate the number of molecules, it is used the Avogadro's number (
particles/molecules). So, considering that the mass to water and carbon dioxide is 1g (it can be any other number), the relationship between moles and molar weight is:

To water:
= 0.05 moles.
Therefore,
1 mol ----
molecules
0.05 moles ---- x
x =
molecules of water.
To carbon dioxide:
= 0.02 moles.
Therefore,
1 mol ----
molecules
0.02 moles ---- y
y =
molecules of carbon dioxide.
