Question 2 of 50

wolverine [178]

The thermal decomposition of calcium carbonate will produce 14 g of calcium oxide. The stoichiometric ratio of calcium carbonate to calcium oxide is 1:1, therefore the number of moles of calcium carbonate decomposed is equal to the number of moles of calcium oxide formed.

Further Explanation:

To solve this problem, follow the steps below:

Write the balanced chemical equation for the given reaction.
Convert the mass of calcium carbonate into moles.
Determine the number of moles of calcium oxide formed by using the stoichiometric ratio for calcium oxide and calcium carbonate based on the coefficient of the chemical equation.
Convert the number of moles of calcium oxide into mass.

Solving the given problem using the steps above:

STEP 1: The balanced chemical equation for the given reaction is:

$CaCO_{3} \rightarrow \ CaO \ + \ CO_{2}$

STEP 2: Convert the mass of calcium carbonate into moles using the molar mass of calcium carbonate.

$mol \ CaCO_{3} \ = 25 \ g \ CaCO_{3} \ (\frac{1 \ mol \ CaCO_{3}}{100.0869 \ g \ CaCO_{3}})\\ \\\boxed {mol \ CaCO_{3} \ = 0.2498 \ mol}$

STEP 3: Use the stoichiometric ratio to determine the number of moles of CaO formed.

For every mole of calcium carbonate decomposed, one more of a calcium oxide is formed. Therefore,

$mol \ CaO \ = 0.2498 \ mol$

STEP 4: Convert the moles of CaO into mass of CaO using its molar mass.

$mass \ CaO \ = 0.2498 \ mol \ CaO \ (\frac{56.0774 \ g \ CaO}{1 \ mol \ CaO})\\ \\mass \ CaO \ = 14.008 \ g$

Since there are only 2 significant figures in the given, the final answer must have the same number of significant figures.

Therefore,

$\boxed {mass \ CaO \ = 14 \ g}$

What is the stoichiometric coefficient for oxygen when the following equation is balanced using the lowest whole-number coeffici

rodikova [14]

Answer:

Option (B) 7

Explanation:

C3H6O2(l) + O2(g) → CO2(g) + H2O(l)

To know the coefficient of O2 in the above equation, let us balance the equation.

The above equation can be balance as follow:

C3H6O2(l) + O2(g) → CO2(g) + H2O(l)

There are 3 atoms of C on the left side and 1 atom on the right side. It can be balance by putting 3 in front of CO2 as shown below:

C3H6O2(l) + O2(g) → 3CO2(g) + H2O(l)

There are 6 atoms of H on the left side and 2 atoms on the right side. It can be balance by putting 3 in front of H2O as shown below:

C3H6O2(l) + O2(g) → 3CO2(g) + 3H2O(l)

There are a total of 4 atoms of O on the left side and a total of 9 atoms on the right side. It can be balance by putting 7/2 in front of O2 as show below:

C3H6O2(l) + 7/2O2(g) → 3CO2(g) + 3H2O(l)

Multiply through by 2

2C3H6O2(l) + 7O2(g) → 6CO2(g) + 6H2O(l)

Now, the equation is balanced.

From the balanced equation above, the coefficient of O2 is 7.
