Only 11% of all the energy used in the US comes from a renewable source. Why is this a<br> problem?

mr Goodwill [35]

Fossil fuels and unnatural energy sources still dominate in the US, this influences many problems including global warming, climate change, and pollution. Burning fossil fuels is also a problem to human health. And unnatural resources won’t be there forever whereas, renewable sources could last a long time.

6. Think of some other chemical reactions. List them and the type of reaction: exothermic or endothermic. Example: Burning coal

Oksanka [162]

Remember: energy is conserved in a chemical reaction (visualize the reaction and question whether heat lies on reactant side (left) or product side (right))

-exothermic- heat is released (heat is on the product side)

>forming an ionic lattice (SALT)- mixture of Na and Cl results in a more stable ionic lattice, causing this reaction to be exothermic

>burning wood

-endothermic- heat is absorbed (heat is on the reactant side)

> cooking an egg

A sample of CaCO3 (molar mass 100. g) was reported as being 30. percent Ca. Assuming no calcium was present in any impurities, c

natka813 [3]

Answer:

Approximately 75%.

Explanation:

Look up the relative atomic mass of Ca on a modern periodic table:

Ca: 40.078.

There are one mole of Ca atoms in each mole of CaCO₃ formula unit.

The mass of one mole of CaCO₃ is the same as the molar mass of this compound: $\rm 100\; g$ .
The mass of one mole of Ca atoms is (numerically) the same as the relative atomic mass of this element: $\rm 40.078\; g$ .

Calculate the mass ratio of Ca in a pure sample of CaCO₃:

$\displaystyle \frac{m(\mathrm{Ca})}{m\left(\mathrm{CaCO_3}\right)} = \frac{40.078}{100} \approx \frac{2}{5}$ .

Let the mass of the sample be 100 g. This sample of CaCO₃ contains 30% Ca by mass. In that 100 grams of this sample, there would be $\rm 30 \% \times 100\; g = 30\; g$ of Ca atoms. Assuming that the impurity does not contain any Ca. In other words, all these Ca atoms belong to CaCO₃. Apply the ratio $\displaystyle \frac{m(\mathrm{Ca})}{m\left(\mathrm{CaCO_3}\right)} \approx \frac{2}{5}$ :

$\begin{aligned} m\left(\mathrm{CaCO_3}\right) &= m(\mathrm{Ca})\left/\frac{m(\mathrm{Ca})}{m\left(\mathrm{CaCO_3}\right)}\right. \cr &\approx 30\; \rm g \left/ \frac{2}{5}\right. \cr &= 75\; \rm g \end{aligned}$ .

In other words, by these assumptions, 100 grams of this sample would contain 75 grams of CaCO₃. The percentage mass of CaCO₃ in this sample would thus be equal to:

$\displaystyle 100\%\times \frac{m\left(\mathrm{CaCO_3}\right)}{m(\text{sample})} = \frac{75}{100} = 75\%$ .
