Answer:

14 grams of calcium oxide would be produced by thermal decomposition of 25 grams of calcium carbonate.

Explanation:

You know:

CaCO₃ → CaO + CO₂

In the first place, by stoichiometry of the reaction (that is, the relationship between the amount of reagents and products in a chemical reaction) the following quantities react and are produced:

CaCO₃: 1 mole
CaO: 1 mole
CO₂: 1 mole

Being:

Ca: 40 g/mole
C: 12 g/mole
O: 16 g/mole

the molar mass of the compounds participating in the reaction is:

CaCO₃: 40 g/mole + 12 g/mole + 3*16 g/mole= 100 g/mole
CaO: 40 g/mole + 16 g/mole= 56 g/mole
CO₂: 12 g/mole + 2*16 g/mole= 44 g/mole

Then, by stoichiometry of the reaction, the following mass amounts of the compounds participating in the reaction react and are produced:

CaCO₃: 1 mole* 100 g/mole= 100 g
CaO: 1 mole* 56 g/mole= 56 g
CO₂: 1 mole* 44 g/mole= 44 g

You can then apply the following rule of three: if by stoichiometry of the reaction 100 grams of calcium carbonate CaCO₃ produce 56 grams of calcium oxide CaO, 25 grams of CaCO₃ how much mass of CaO will it produce?

$mass of calcium oxide=\frac{25 grams of CaCO_{3} *56 grams of CaO}{100 grams of CaCO_{3} }$

mass of calcium oxide= 14 grams

 14 grams of calcium oxide would be produced by thermal decomposition of 25 grams of calcium carbonate.

Consider the reversible reaction A ( g ) − ⇀ ↽ − B ( g ) Which K values would indicate that there is more B than A at equilibriu

oksano4ka [1.4K]

Answer:

5000 and $8\times 10^{7}$ indicate that there is more B than A at equilibrium

Explanation:

For the given reaction: $K=\frac{[B]}{[A]}$

where [B] and [A] represents equilibrium concentration B and A respectively. K represents equilibrium constant

More B than A at equilibrium means, [B] > [A]

So, $K=\frac{[B]}{[A]}>1$

As, both 5000 and $8\times 10^{7}$ are greater than 1 therefore these two K values indicate that there is more B than A at equilibrium

39. Which bond is least polar? A) As-C1 B) Bi-CI C) P-CI D) N-C1

garik1379 [7]

Answer:

D) N-Cl.

Explanation:

The electronegativity of the elements in Group 5 (N. P As and Bi) decreases as we go down the Group so N is the most electronegative and chlorine is less able to draw electrons away from N than from the other elements in Group 5.

120 mol Mg

General Formulas and Concepts:

Chemistry - Stoichiometry

Using Dimensional Analysis

Explanation:

Step 1: Define

120 moles H₂

Step 2: Identify Conversions

RxN: 3 mol H₂ = 3 mol Mg

Step 3: Stoichiometry

$120 \ mol \ H_2(\frac{3 \ mol \ Mg}{3 \ mol \ H_2} )$ = 120 mol Mg

Why do you think certain countries favored military solutions to the great depression while other contries did not

Vlada [557]

Answer:

The answer is below

Explanation:

Certain countries like Germany under Adolf Hitler favored military solutions to the great depression because the government felt that having a mass production of military weapons and recruitment of unemployed people or citizens into the army would change the dire situation.

On the other hand, countries like the United States did not favor the military solutions but instead choose the NEW DEAL under Franklin D Roosevelt; the reason could be linked to their democratic culture, the isolation belief tendency.
