First calculate for the molar mass of the given formula unit, CaCO₃. This can be done by adding up the product when the number of atom is multiplied to its individual molar mass as shown below.
molar mass of CaCO₃ = (1 mol Ca)(40 g Ca/mol Ca) + (1 mol C)(12 g of C/1 mol of C) + (3 mols of O)(16 g O/1 mol O) = 100 g/mol of CaCO₃
Then, divide the given amount of substance by the calculated molar mass.
number of moles = (20 g)(1 mol of CaCO₃/100 g)
number of moles = 0.2 moles of CaCO₃
<em>Answer: 0.2 moles</em>
Answer:
2Ca₃(PO₄)₂ + 10C + 6SiO₂ → 6CaSiO₃ + P₄ + 10CO.
Explanation:
- To balance a chemical reaction, we should apply the law of conservation of mass.
- Law of conversation of mass states that the no. of atoms is equal in both sides of the chemical reaction.
- So, the balanced chemical reaction is:
<em>2Ca₃(PO₄)₂ + 10C + 6SiO₂ → 6CaSiO₃ + P₄ + 10CO.</em>
that 2 mol of Ca₃(PO₄)₂ react with 10 mol of C and 6 mol of SiO₂ to produce 6 mol of CaSiO₃, 1 mol of P₄ and 10 mol of CO.
Atomic weight is actually calculated by the sum of protons and neutrons of that atom. It is not equal to the number. You must add them for the result
