The percentage of Calcium carbonate in chalk = 100%

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

1.51 g piece of chalk produces 0.665 g of carbon dioxide

Required

percentage of calcium carbonate

Solution

Reaction

CaCO3 (s) + 2 HCl (aq) → CaCl2 (aq) + H2O (l) + CO2 (g)

mol CO2 :

= 0.665 g : 44 g/mol

= 0.015

From the equation, mol CaCO3 = mol CO2 = 0.015

mass CaCO3 :

= mol x MW

= 0.015 x 100

= 1.5 g

If an atom has 13 electrons how many electron shells does it have
svlad2 [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

If an atom has 13 electrons then it belongs to p-block of periodic table.

s level can accommodate 2 electrons.

p level can accommodate 6 electrons.

13 means 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p1.

As you can see there totally 5 sub-shells.

Total number of shells are 3(1,2,3).

Hydrogen reacts with chlorine to form hydrogen chloride (HCl (g), mc012-1.jpgHf = –92.3 kJ/mol) according to the reaction below.
Kobotan [32]

<u>Given:</u>

H2(g) + Cl2 (g) → 2HCl (g)

<u>To determine:</u>

The enthalpy of the reaction and whether it is endo or exothermic

<u>Explanation:</u>

Enthalpy of a reaction is given by the difference between the enthalpy of formation of reactants and products

ΔH = ∑nHf (products) - ∑nHf (reactants)

      = [2Hf(HCl)] - [Hf(H2) + Hf(Cl2)] = 2 (-92.3) kJ = - 184.6 kJ

Since the reaction enthalpy is negative, the reaction is exothermic

<u>Ans:</u> The enthalpy of reaction is -184. kJ and the reaction is exothermic

The mass spectrum of an unknown compound has a molecular ion peak with a relative intensity of 57.10% and an M+1 peak of 6.83%.
max2010maxim [7]

There are 11 Carbon atoms in the compound.

<u>Solution:</u>

Carbon atom count is the ratio of the M peak to the M+1 peak.

\text{ Number of Carbon atoms }=\frac{\text { Relative intensity of } M+1 \text { peak }}{0.011 \times \text { Relative tntensity of } M \text { peak }}

Here M peak is 57.10% and M+1 peak is 6.83%. On applying the values in the formula we get,

\frac{0.0683}{0.011\times0.571g} = 10.87\approx11

Therefore, the number of Carbon atoms in the compound are 11.

Refer the image attached below for a better understanding of M peak and M+1 peak.

The heaviest ion that has the greatest m/z value is said to be the molecular ion peak in mass spectrum.

Using the fact that at 0.10 M, the absorbance was 0.357; and at 0.20 M, the absorbance was 0.714, the absorptivity (slope) is
olga_2 [115]

Answer:

The answer is "3.57 and 0.07".

Explanation:

Using the slop formula:

=\frac{n_2-n_1}{n_2-n_1}\\\\ =\frac{0.714-0.357}{0.20-0.10} \\\\ = ABSORPTIVITY, \ \ a=3.57 \\\\A= a\times b \times c

Given:

A=0.250

length path b=1  

from calibration it is found that

a=3.57\\\\consentation \ c=\frac{A}{a\times b} \\\\C=\frac{0.250}{3.57\times 1}

   =0.07 \ M
