The
Earth is composed of four different layers. Many geologists believe
that as the Earth cooled the heavier, denser materials sank to the
center and the lighter materials rose to the top. Because of this, the
crust is made of the lightest materials (rock- basalts and granites) and
the core consists of heavy metals (nickel and iron).
<span>The crust is the layer that you live on, and it is the most widely studied and understood. The mantle
is much hotter and has the ability to flow. The Outer and Inner Cores
are hotter still with pressures so great that you would be squeezed into
a ball smaller than a marble if you were able to go to the center of
the Earth!!!!!!</span>
<span>Elements are matter made of one kind of atom.</span>
a. An oxidation reaction. An oxidation reaction is a type of chemical reaction that involves a transfer of electrons between two species.
The mixture contains:
CaCO3 + (NH4)2CO3 in which the amount of carbonate CO3 = 60.7% by mass
Let, the total mass = 100 grams
Mass of CaCO3 = x grams
Mass of (NH4)2CO3 = y grams
Thus, x + y = 100 ------------(1)
Mass of CO3 = 60.7% = 60.7 g
Molar mass of CO3 = 60 g/mol
Total # moles of CO3 = 60.7 g/60 g.mol-1 = 1.012 moles
The total moles of CO3 comes from CaCO3 and (NH4)2CO3. Therefore,
moles CaCO3 + moles (NH4)2CO3 = 1.012
mass CaCO3/molar mass CaCO3 + mass (NH4)2 CO3/molar mass = 1.012
x/100 + y/96 = 1.012---------(2)
based on equation 1 we can write: y = 100-x
x/100 + (100-x)/96 = 1.012
x = 71.2 g
Mass of CaCO3 = 71.2 g
