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

.37 g. What is the difference between the samples?
A) Sample B has more calcium carbonate molecules
B) Sample B has a larger ratio of carbon, oxygen, and calcium atoms
C) Sample B has more calcium ion than carbonate ions
D) Sample B must have some impurity

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.

Enzymes are described as catalysts, which means that they __________. View Available Hint(s) Enzymes are described as catalysts,
givi [52]

Answer:

increase the rate of a reaction without being consumed by the reaction

Explanation:

  • Enzymes are biochemical catalysts that increase the rate of chemical reactions.
  • They increase the rate of a chemical reaction without being consumed by the reaction.
  • Enzymes increase the rate of chemical reactions by decreasing the activation energy of the reactants.
  • Catalysts such as enzymes do not affect the free energy change of a chemical reaction (delta G). Therefore, delta G for a catalyzed and non-catalyzed reaction is equal.
