Answer: see figure attached and explanation below.
Explanation:
1) Chemical equation (given):
Fe + CuCl₂ → Cu + FeCl₂
2) ΔHf reactants: -256 kJ/mol (given)
3) ΔHf products: - 321 kJ/mol (given)
4) ΔH reaction = ΔHf products - ΔHf reactants = - 321 kJ/mol - (- 256 kJ/mol) = - 65 kJ/mol
5) Conclusion:
i) Since ΔHf of products is less (more negative) than ΔHf of reactants, the reaction is exhotermic: the reaction released energy, which is the reason why the products content less potential energy than the reactants.
ii) Then, the energy diagram is the typical one of an exothermic reaction: the products start a certain potential energy level, the energy incrases until reaching the activation energy (the energy barrier to form the activated complex) and then energy decreases until a level below the energy of the reactants.
iii) See the attached figure with such kind of diagram showing the products at a lower level than the reactans
We are given with two set of conditions. To calculate the final volume, we get first the number of moles under the first condition. Using PV=nRT, the number of moles is equal to 0.16 moles. We substitute this together with the other conditions in PV=nRT, the final volume is 0.92 liters.
Answer:
CaCO₃ ------> CaO + CO₂
<em>Note: The breakdown products of solid calcium carbonate is not carbon dioxide gas, oxygen gas, and solid calcium. Rather, it is calcium oxide and carbon dioxide as shown in the reaction equation above.</em>
Explanation:
Calcium carbonate is a mineral which occurs in nature in rocks as calcite and limestone. It is also the main component of eggshells, snail shells, seashells and pearls. It has the molecular formula CaCO₃.
Calcium carbonate or limestone decomposes into calcium oxide and carbon dioxide when heated and the reaction is used to make quicklime and carbon dioxide gas. The equation of the reaction is given below:
CaCO₃ ------> CaO + CO₂
Calcium oxide, one of the products of The decomposition reaction is known as lime and is an important mineral used for many purposes such as reducing the acidity of soils, in the production of limelight, as well as serving as the main ingredient in cement.
The main use of calcium carbonate is in the construction industry as an ingredient of cement. Calcium carbonate is also an important mineral required by sea organisms for making their shells.
