When a 1.25-gram sample of limestone was dissolved in acid, 0.44 gram of CO2 was generated. If the rock contained no carbonate o

ther than CaCO3 , what was the percent of CaCO3 by mass in the limestone?

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 grams of carbonic acid were produced by the 3.00 g sample of NaHCO
stellarik [79]
I think the given is 3 g sample of NaHCO3. then if it will be reacted with an acid, it will produce H2CO3.
 so the reaction NaHCO3 + HCl --> NaCl + H2CO3

mas of H2CO3 = 3 g NaHCO3 ( 1 mol NaHCO3 / 84 g ) ( 1 mol H2CO3 / 1 mol NaHCO3) ( 62.03 g / 1 mol )
mass of H2CO3 = 2.22 g H2CO3

Shown here is a person shaving.  Under magnification, the shaving foam might look like the image above the shaver. What type of mixture does the foam demonstrate? Give your reasoning.

Foam is a colloid. Colloids includes gas dispersed in a liquid and it also includes gas dispersed in a solid

On the next slide, you can select any answers you want, or you can select nothing. There's no wrong answer.

A student squeezes several oranges to make a glass of orange juice. The juice contains pieces of orange pulp mixed with the juice. Explain why this drink can be considered a combination of a suspension and a solution.

The juice contains sugars, plant pigments, and other chemicals dissolved in water. This is a solution. The pieces of orange pulp will rise to the top or settle to the bottom of the juice if it is allowed to sit. The pieces of pulp mixed with the juice form a suspension

On the right side, you can also select any answers or none at all. There is no wrong answer.

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

There are two main types of mixtures, homogeneous mixtures and heterogeneous mixtures. The components of a homogeneous mixture are evenly distributed throughout the mixture. The properties of a mixture are the same everywhere. The components of a heterogeneous mixture are not evenly distributed. Different regions of this mixture have different   properties.

Particles in a homogeneous mixture do not settle down or separate when left alone. Particles in a heterogeneous mixture eventually separate or settle when left alone.

  • Colloids are a type of heterogeneous mixture that do not naturally settle out quickly, and can be separated with different methods.
  • A suspension is another type of heterogeneous mixtures in which the components of the mixture will quickly settle out or can be filtered or separated.

Here are photos of Edge just incase.

Ca(s) + O₂(g) + S(s) → CaSO4(s)
san4es73 [151]

The mass of Calcium required to complete this reaction is 4.008 g.

  • Law of conservation of mass states that In a closed system, mass cannot be produced or destroyed, but it can be changed from one form to another.
  • The mass of the chemical constituents before a chemical reaction is equal to the mass of the constituents after the reaction.
  • In several disciplines, including chemistry, mechanics, and fluid dynamics, the idea of mass conservation is widely applied.

In the given reaction mass of product after completion of reaction is 13.614 g that means total mass of constituents before reaction should also be 13.614.

So,

mass of Ca + mass of O₂ + mass of S = mass of CaSO4

Ca + 6.400 g + 3.206 g = 13.614 g

mass of Ca = 13.614 - 9.606 = 4.008 g

Therefore, by law of conservation of mass 4.008 g of Ca is required for the completion of the reaction.
