Calculate the number of moles of caco3 (calcium carbonate, or limestone) in a 20.0g sample of this substance

1 answer:

6 0

First calculate for the molar mass of the given formula unit, CaCO₃. This can be done by adding up the product when the number of atom is multiplied to its individual molar mass as shown below.

molar mass of CaCO₃ = (1 mol Ca)(40 g Ca/mol Ca) + (1 mol C)(12 g of C/1 mol of C) + (3 mols of O)(16 g O/1 mol O) = 100 g/mol of CaCO₃

Then, divide the given amount of substance by the calculated molar mass.
number of moles = (20 g)(1 mol of CaCO₃/100 g)
number of moles = 0.2 moles of CaCO₃

<em>Answer: 0.2 moles</em>

what modifications to either or both of the half-cell reactions would kim need to make if she wanted to use them to produce equa

kompoz [17]

We have to add the both half cell equations and eliminate the number of electrons lost/gained.

<h3>What modification must Kim make to the equations?</h3>

The term redox reaction is a type of reaction that occurs when an electron is lost or gained in a reaction system. We can see that in this reaction, zinc looses two electron which are gained by copper.

If we want to obtain the equation 4.9 which is the overall equation of the redox reaction from the various half cell equations then we have to add the both half cell equations and eliminate the number of electrons lost/gained.
