<h2>Answer: 131.9 g</h2>

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

<u>Write a Balanced Equation for the decomposition</u>

CaCO₃     →     CaO    +    CO₂

<u></u>

<u>Find Moles of CO₂ Produced</u>

Since the mole ratio of  CaCO₃  to CO₂ is 1 to 1,

the moles of CaCO₃ = moles of CO₂

moles of CaCO₃   = mass ÷ molar mass

                             = 300 g ÷ 100.087 g/mol

                             = 2.997 moles

∴ moles of CO₂ = 2.997 moles

<u>Determine Mass of CO₂</u>

Mass = moles × molar mass

         = 2.997 mol × 44.01 g/mol

         = 131.9 g

<u></u>

<h3>∴ when 300 g of calcium carbonate is decomposed, it produces 131.9 g of carbon dioxide.</h3>

kobusy [5.1K]
Answer is: Allena is correct. It is an element because it is only made of chlorine atoms.
A chemical element bonded to an identical chemical element is not a chemical compound since it is made from only one element and not from two different elements. Chlorine is molecule, but not compound.

True or false When heat flows to an object, it can change states.
emmasim [6.3K]

Answer: True

Explanation:

The matter exists as solid, liquid or gas. These are called the states of matter. The change of matter from one state to another can be achieved by heating or cooling.

The solid state can be converted into liquid state by providing heat to solid. The heat will make the particles move farther, resulting into liquid state.

Similarly when liquid state is provided heat, it changes to gaseous state. The heat will make the particles move much more faster.

Thus the statement that when heat flows to an object, it can change states is True.

Oxalic Acid, a compound found in plants and vegetables such as rhubarb, has a mass percent composition of 26.7% C, 2.24% H, and
blondinia [14]

Answer:

HCO₂

Explanation:

From the information given:

The mass of the elements are:

Carbon C = 26.7 g;     Hydrogen H = 2.24 g     Oxygen O = 71.1 g

To determine the empirical formula;

First thing is to find the numbers of moles of each atom.

For Carbon:

=26.7 \ g\times \dfrac{1 \ mol }{12.01 \ g} \\ \\ =2.22 \ mol \ of \ Carbon

For Hydrogen:

=2.24 \ g\times \dfrac{1 \ mol }{1.008 \ g} \\ \\ =2.22 \ mol \ of \ Hydrogen

For Oxygen:

=71.1 \ g\times \dfrac{1 \ mol }{1.008 \ g} \\ \\ =4.44 \ mol \ of \ oxygen

Now; we use the smallest no of moles to divide the respective moles from above.

For carbon:

\dfrac{2.22 \ mol \ of \ carbon}{2.22} =1 \ mol \ of \ carbon

For Hydrogen:

\dfrac{2.22 \ mol \ of \ carbon}{2.22} =1 \ mol \ of \ hydrogen

For Oxygen:

\dfrac{4.44 \ mol \ of \ Oxygen}{2.22} =2 \ mol \ of \ oxygen

Thus, the empirical formula is HCO₂
