Answer:

80%

Explanation:

First off, we write out the chemical equation for the reaction, assuming the acid used is HCl;

CaCO3 + 2 HCl → CaCl2 + H2O + CO2

1 mol of CaCO3 generates 1 mol of CO2

Molar mass of CaCO3 = 40 + 12 + (3 * 16) = 52 + 48 = 100 g/mol

Molar mass of CO2 =12 + (2*16) = 12 + 32 = 44 g/mol

So mass of CaCO3 = 1 mol * 100 g/mol = 100 g

Mass of CO2 formed = 1 mol * 44 g/mol = 44 g

This means 100g of CaCO3 generated 44g of CO2

How much would then generate 0.44g?

100 = 44

x = 0.44

Upon cross Multiplication we have;

x = (0.44 * 100) / 44

x = 1g

Percent by mass of CaCO3 =  (mass of CaCO3 / Mass of Limestone) * 100

Percent by mass of CaCO3 = (1 / 1.25) * 100 = 0.8 * 100 = 80%

How many particles are in 1 mol of carbon? 1 mol of lithium? 1 mol of eggs? will 1 mol of each of these substances have the same
andrezito [222]
<span>One mole of a substance contains Avogadro's number of atoms/molecules/the like. This would mean that all of the items described would have approximately 6.022 * 10^23 atoms, even though their masses would differ. This would be due to the molar mass of each substance being different because of the constituent elements in the substance.</span>

How does maximum boiling azeotropic mixture is separated using fractional distillation?
Evgesh-ka [11]

Answer:

By heating the mixture to maximum boiling point and then the solution is distilled at a constant temperature without having a change in composition.

Explanation:

An azeotropic mixture is also called a constant boiling mixture and it is a mixture of two or more liquids whose proportions cannot be altered by simple distillation due to the fact that when an azeotropic mixture is boiled, the vapor has the same proportions of constituents as the unboiled mixture.

Now, maximum boiling azeotropic mixture are the solutions with negative deviations that have an intermediate composition  for which the vapor pressure of the solution is minimum and as a result, the boiling point is maximum. At that point, the solution will distill at a constant temperature without having a change in composition.
