Find the mass of calcium oxide produced from the thermal decomposition of 50 g of calcium carbonate.

Chemistry

anastassius [24]3 years ago

Answer:

28 g

Explanation:

The chemical equation of the reaction is given below:

CaCO₃ (s) ⇒ CaO (s) + O₂ (g)

From the chemical equation, 1 mole of CaCO₃ produces 1 mole of CaO.

So, we find the number of moles,n of  CaCO₃ in 50 g from

n = m/M where n = number of moles of  CaCO₃, m = mass of CaCO₃ and M = molar mass of CaCO₃ = 40 g/mol + 12 g/mol + 3 × 16 g/mol = 52 g/mol + 48 g/mol = 100 g/mol

So, n = m/M

= 50 g/100 g/mol

= 0.5 mol

Since From the chemical equation, 1 mole of CaCO₃ produces 1 mole of CaO, then 0.5 × 1 mole of CaCO₃ produces 0.5 × 1 mole of CaO, which is 0.5 mole of CaCO₃ produces 0.5 mole of CaO.

So, we have 0.5 mol of CaO.

We find the mass of CaO from

n =m'/M' where n = number of moles of CaO = 0.5, m' = mass of CaO and M' = molar mass of CaO = 40 g/mol + 16 g/mol = 56 g/mol

So, m' = nM'

= 0.5 mol × 56 g/mol

= 28 g

Two examples of energy transformations are shown.
erastova [34]

The energy transformations are similar because they result into radiant energy.

As for the lamp, Electrical energy is transformed into light when the filament

or mercury vapor glows on passage of current.

The fire- chemical energy is turned to light energy during the combustion of carbon.  Both products comprise of ultraviolet radiation which is a form of radiant energy.

Name the bond between atoms that share electrons
Masteriza [31]

Answer:

1) Covalent bond, in chemistry, the interatomic linkage that results from the sharing of an electron pair between two atoms. The binding arises from the electrostatic attraction of their nuclei for the same electrons.

2)A molecule is the smallest particle in a chemical element or compound that has the chemical properties of that element or compound. Molecules are made up of atoms that are held together by chemical bonds. These bonds form as a result of the sharing or exchange of electrons among atoms.

3)Hydrogen (H2), oxygen (O2), and chlorine (Cl2) molecules, for example, each contains two atoms. Another form of oxygen, ozone (O3), has three atoms, and sulfur (S8) has eight atoms. All elemental molecules are made of atoms of a single element.

Which one of the atoms shown would be most likely to form a cation with a charge of 1?
olga55 [171]
Ions are stable atoms of elements formed when original atoms loose or gain electrons to form stable configuration. Anions are negatively charged ions formed when atoms gain electrons while cations are the positively charged ions formed when atoms loose electrons. In this case a charge of +1 means an atom lost one electron to form a stable configuration. Therefore, the correct answer is A

Based on the activity series, which one of the reactions below will occur (Spontaneous)? A. Mn (s) + NiCl2 (aq) → MnCl2 (aq) + N
kap26 [50]

Answer:

Mn (s) + NiCl2 (aq) → MnCl2 (aq) + Ni

Explanation:

The order of displacement of metals from aqueous solution by another metal is defined by the activity series of metals.

The activity series arranges metals in order of reactivity and increasing electrode potentials. The less negative the electrode potential of a metal is, the less reactive it is and the lower it is found in the activity series.

Nickel has a less negative electrode potential than manganese hence it is displaced from an aqueous solution of its salt by manganese spontaneously.
