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%

In a fluorine atom, on which energy level are the valence electrons found?
aivan3 [116]

Answer:

second energy level

Explanation:

Valence electrons are those electrons which are present in outer most orbital of the atom.

This can be easily found through the electronic configuration of atom.

Electronic configuration of F:

F₉ = 1s² 2s² 2p⁵

We can see that the valence electrons are present in second energy level of F atom.

There are seven valence electrons of fluorine.

It is called halogens.

Halogens are very reactive these elements can not be found free in nature. Their boiling points also increases down the group which changes their physical states. i.e fluorine is gas while iodine is solid.

Fluorine:

1. it is yellow in color.

2. it is flammable gas.

3. it is highly corrosive.

4. fluorine has pungent smell.

5. its reactions with all other elements are very vigorous except neon, oxygen, krypton and helium.

Why is there an energy crisis if energy is supposedly conserved? Explain your answer and cite one example
faltersainse [42]

Answer:

Energy can neither be created nor destroyed, but it does change its form. And not all forms of energy are usable and it gets dissipated as heat energy and sound energy. The energy that is wasted cannot be recovered.
