The answer is: The reactants were not heated long enough.
For all chemical reaction some energy is required and that energy is called activation energy (energy that needs to be absorbed for a chemical reaction to start).
Activation energy is the minimum energy colliding particles must have in order to react.
By lowering activation energy, reaction need less heat.
In this example, there is not enough heat.
Answer:
MCO3 is BaCO3
The mass of CO2 produced is 0.28g of CO2
Explanation:
The first step in solving the question is to put down the balanced reaction equations as shown in the image attached. Secondly, we obtain the relative number of moles acid and base as mentioned in the question. The balanced neutralization reaction equation is used to obtain the number of moles of excess acid involved in the neutralization reaction.
This is then subtracted from the total number of moles acid to give the number of moles of acid that reacted with MCO3. From here, the molar mass of MCO3 and identity of M can be found. Hence the mass of CO2 produced is calculated as shown.
