From the periodic table:
mass of oxygen = 16 grams
mass of calcium = 40 grams
mass of carbon = 12 grams
mass of CaCO3 = 40 + 12 + 3(16) = 100 grams
Therefore, each 100 grams of CaCO3 contains 3 moles of oxygen
To know the number of oxygen moles in 25.45 grams, we will simply do cross multiplication as follows:
number of oxygen moles = (25.45 x 3) / 100 = 0.7636
The total mass means that you need to add up all three diamonds' mass. So the calculation equation is 14.2+8.73+0.912 = 23.842 g.
Explanation:
The various functions of water in plants include: maintaining cell turgidity for structure and growth; transporting nutrients and organic compounds throughout the plant; comprising much of the living protoplasm in the cells; serving as a raw material for various chemical processes, including photosynthesis; and, through transpiration, buffering the plant against wide temperature fluctuations.
