The answer is D. The cold fusion theory was first brought about by Stanley Pons and Martin Fleischmann in 1989. They claimed that their unintended experiment has produced enormous amounts energy at room temperatures that could only be explained by cold fusion theory. The experiment involved the electrolysis of heavy water (with deuterium rather than hydrogen isotope) on a palladium (Pd) electrode. Their claims had brought immense attention by scientists, however, subsequent replicative experiments attempts failed and some discredited the initial experiment.
Answer:
Number of moles = 0.042 mol
Explanation:
Given data:
Number of moles = ?
Mass of calcium carbonate = ?
Solution:
Formula:
Number of moles = mass/ molar mass
now we will calculate the molar mass of calcium carbonate.
atomic mass of Ca = 40 amu
atomic mass of C = 12 amu
atomic mass of O = 16 amu
CaCO₃ = 40 + 12+ 3×16
CaCO₃ = 40 + 12+48
CaCO₃ = 100 g/mol
Now we will calculate the number of moles.
Number of moles = 4.15 g / 100 g/mol
Number of moles = 0.042 mol
