Answer:

100 mL

Explanation:

The reaction that takes place is:

  • CaCO₃ + 2HCl → CaCl₂ + H₂O + CO₂

First we <u>convert 500 mg of CaCO₃ into mmoles</u>, using its <em>molar mass</em>:

  • 500 mg ÷ 100 mg/mmol = 5 mmol CaCO₃

Then we <u>convert 5 mmoles of CaCO₃ into HCl mmoles</u>, using the <em>stoichiometric coefficients of the balanced reaction</em>:

  • 5 mmol CaCO₃ * \frac{2mmolHCl}{1mmolCaCO_3} = 10 mmol HCl

Finally we <u>calculate the volume of a 0.10 M HCl solution (such as stomach acid) that would contain 10 mmoles</u>:

  • 10 mmol / 0.10 M = 100 mL

Which metal absorbs the greatest amount of heat energy
Fed [463]

Answer:

This question is incomplete but the completed question is in the attachment below. And the correct is b

Explanation:

Specific heat capacity can be defined as the amount of heat required to raise to raise 1 kg of a substance by 1 kelvin. Thus, this means that when the specific heat capacity of a substance is high, it takes more energy to increase the temperature of that substance. This also means that when different substances are subjected to the same amount of heat, the substance with the higher specific heat capacity will absorb less heat; for example at a beach, water has a very high specific heat capacity, thus when the sand in the beach is hot, the beach water is still relatively cold.

From the description above, <u>it can be seen that the metal with the least specific capacity will absorb the greatest amount of heat, thus the metal is lead</u> with the specific heat capacity of 0.129 J/(g. °C).

Covalent compounds are generally not very hard. Justify the statement.
Eduardwww [97]

Covalent compounds are generally not very hard because they are formed by two or more nonmetallic atoms.

<h3>COVALENT COMPOUNDS:</h3>

Covalent compounds are compounds whose constituent elements are joined together by covalent bonds.

Covalent bonding occurs when two or more nonmetallic atoms of an element share valence electrons. This means that covalent compounds will not be physically hard since they constitute non-metals.

Examples of covalent compounds are:

  1. H2 - hydrogen
  2. H2O - water
  3. HCl - hydrogen chloride
  4. CH4 - methane
