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%

A photon has a wavelength of 3.8 x 10^-7 meters, what is the energy of this photon?
Korvikt [17]
Energy  E = hc / l 

where h = Planck's constant, c = speed of light and l = wavelength.

E = 1.986 * 10^-25  / 3.8 * 10^-7 =   5.223*10^-19

The gram molecular mass of co2 is the same as the gram molecular mass of ?
kari74 [83]
The answer is 1. CO. A gram-molecular mass is defined as mass in grams numerically equal to the molecular weight of a substance or the sum of all the atomic masses in its molecular formula. Since CO2 and CO has both carbon and oxygen, the gram-molecular mass does not change. For a compound with carbon and oxygen, the molecular mass comes respectively from 12 (atomic mass of carbon) + (2 × 16) (atomic mass of oxygen), which is 44 g.

What are its electron-pair and molecular geometries? What is the hybridization of the nitrogen atom? What orbitals on and overla
jok3333 [9.3K]

Answer:

Electron-pair geometry: tetrahedral

Molecular geometry: trigonal pyramidal

Hybridization: sp³

sp³ - 4 p

Explanation:

There is some info missing. I think this is the original question.

<em>For NBr₃, What are its electron-pair and molecular geometries? What is the hybridization of the nitrogen atom? What orbitals on N and Br overlap to form bonds between these elements?</em>

<em>The N-Br bonds are formed by the overlap of the  ___ hybrid orbitals on nitrogen with ___ orbitals on Br.</em>

<em />

Nitrogen is a central atom surrounded by 4 electron domains. According to VESPR, the corresponding electron-pair geometry is tetrahedral.

Of these 4 electron domains, 3 represent covalent bonds with Br and 1 lone pair. According to VESPR, the corresponding molecular geometry is trigonal pyramidal.

In the nitrogen atom, 1 s orbital and 3 p orbitals hybridize to form 4 sp³ orbitals for each of the electron domains.

The N-Br bonds are formed by the overlap of the sp³ hybrid orbitals on nitrogen with 4p orbitals on Br.
