V125BC [204]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

Uranium-238 or lead-206 are most often used to date rocks. ... Carbon-14's half-life is much too long to use for dating rocks. C) The half life of carbon-14 is about 5700 years and is too short date rocks. D) Carbon-14 is only found in living things; it can only be used to date remains

What is the molar mass of magnesium carbonate, MgCO3? 52.314 g/mol 84.313 g/mol 96.771 g/mol 102.588 g/mol
Orlov [11]

Answer:

Molar mass of MgCO3 = 84.3 g/mol

Explanation:

What is the molar mass of magnesium carbonate.

Molar mass of a substance is defined as the mass of one mole of the substance expressed in grams hence its unit is gram per mole (g/mol)

MgCO3 is a compound and it's molar mass would be the sum of the molar masses of the elements that make up the compound. MgCO3 contains 1 atom of magnesium, one atom of carbon and 3 atoms of oxygen

Molar mass of Magnesium = 24.3g

Molar mass of Carbon =12g

Molar mass of Oxygen = 16g

Molar mass of MgCO3 will be

24.3 + 12 + 16×3

= 24.3 + 12 +48 = 84.3 g/mol

Molar mass of MgCO3 = 84.3 g/mol

Pavel [41]

Answer:

ΔH = +26.08 kJ/mol

Explanation:

The change in enthalpy (ΔH) is given in J/mol, and can be calculated for  dissolution by the equation:

ΔH = m(water)*Cp*ΔT/n(solute)

The mass of water is the density multiplied by the volume

m = 1g/mL * 25.0mL = 25.0 g

The number of the moles is the mass divided by the molar mass. Knowing the molar masses of the elements:

N = 14 g/mol x 2 = 28

H = 1 g/mol x 4 = 4

O = 16 g/mol x 3 = 48

NH₄NO₃ = 80 g/mol

n = 1.25/80 = 0.015625 mol

So,  

ΔH = 25*4.18*(25.8 - 21.9)/0.015625

ΔH = 26,083.2 J/mol

ΔH = +26.08 kJ/mol
