Answer:

% Ca = 24.69%

% H = 1.2%

% C = 14.8%

% O = 59.25%

Explanation:

The percentage by mass of each element can be calculated by dividing the mass of each element in the compound by the molar mass of the compound.

Molar mass of Ca(HCO3)2

Where; (Ca= 40, H = 1, O = 16, C= 12)

= 40 + {1 + 12 + 16(3)}2

= 40 + {13 + 48}2

= 40 + {61}2

= 40 + 122

= 162g/mol

- % mass of Ca = 40/162 × 100

= 0.2469 × 100

= 24.69%

- % mass of H = 2/162 × 100

= 0.012 × 100

= 1.2%

- % mass of C = 24/162 × 100

= 0.148 × 100

= 14.8%

- % mass of O = 96/162 × 100

= 0.5925 × 100

= 59.25%

In order to heat a round bottom flask in a heating mantle, plug the heating mantle into _______.Turn the heat up _________, and
KATRIN_1 [288]

Answer:

A Variac or Powermite; gradually; 50-60%.

Explanation:

A chemical reaction can be defined as a chemical process which typically involves the transformation or rearrangement of the atomic, ionic or molecular structure of an element through the breakdown and formation of chemical bonds to produce a new compound or substance.

Some of the laboratory apparatus (equipment) used for conducting a chemical reaction are conical flask, Bunsen burner, beaker, tongs, crucible, round bottom flask etc.

In order to heat a round bottom flask in a heating mantle, plug the heating mantle into a Variac or Powermite which is typically used for controlling the level of temperature. Turn the heat up gradually, and do not exceed 50-60% of the maximum output of the device, so as to avoid any electrical issues such as overloading, short-circuit etc.

The safety precautions that must be taken when using a round bottom flask are;

I. A proper inspection of the round bottom flask for cracks, irregularities or any imperfection.

II. Ensure you avoid heating the flask while it is closed.

III. When suspending the round bottom flask on a stand, you should ensure that you use a clamp for stability.

A hiker seals a plastic bag that contains dried fruit before the climbs a mountain. What will most likely happen to the plastic
romanna [79]

From the ideal gas equation,

PV = nRT

where n is number of moles, R is Universal gas constant, P is pressure, V is volume,  and T is temperature of the gas.

The pressure and volume are inversely proportional to each other at constant temperature and number of moles.

Hence, on decreasing the pressure, the volume will increase.

As the hiker reaches a height of a mountain, the pressure would decrease which results in the reestablishment of equilibrium between gas molecules thus resulting in pushing of bag outwards.

Hence, the bag will expand as the hiker reaches the top of the mountain.

A sample of argon initially has a volume of 5.0 L and the pressure is 2 atm. If the final temperature is 30° C, the final volume
lbvjy [14]
We have that every gas satisfies the fundamental gas equation, PV=nRT where P is the Pressure, V is the volume of the gas, n are the moles of the gas, R is a universal constant and T is the Temperature in Kelvin. We have that PV/T=nR and during our process, the moles of the gas do not change (no argon enters or escapes our sample). See attached.
