1. When carbon dioxide is bubble through a clear solution of calcium hydroxide, a milky solution of calcium carbonate will be formed. The balanced chemical equation for the reaction is as follows: 
CO2 + Ca[OH]2 = CaCO3 + H2O.
That is, one mole of carbon dioxide react with one mole of calcium hydroxide to produce one mole each of water and calcium carbonate.

2. An acidic oxide is defined as those compounds of oxygen which react with water to form acids or react with bases to form salts. They are usually oxides of metals or of metals in high oxidation states.
 In the chemical equation given in answer 1, one can easily see that carbon dioxide is an acidic oxide because it reacts with calcium hydroxide [which is a base] to produce calcium carbonate, which is a salt.

Explain why the coin is able to float on top of the water in this glass.
zubka84 [21]
Surface tension is the result of water molecules pulling inward with a strong attractive force. 
The attractive force brings the molecules on the surface of the water close together.
The attractive force causes the surface of the water to be drawn toward the water molecules beneath the surface. <span>
Since there are no water molecules above the surface, there are uneven forces. This causes surface tension, allowing the coin to float on the water’s surface.</span>

How many moles are present in 54.8 mL of mercury if the density of mercury is 13.6 g/mL?​
lesya692 [45]

Answer:

3.72 mol Hg

General Formulas and Concepts:

<u>Chemistry - Atomic Structure</u>

  • Reading a Periodic Table
  • Using Dimensional Analysis
  • Density = Mass over Volume

Explanation:

<u>Step 1: Define</u>

D = 13.6 g/mL

54.8 mL Hg

<u>Step 2: Identify Conversions</u>

Molar Mass of Hg - 200.59 g/mol

<u>Step 3: Find</u>

13.6 g/mL = x g / 54.8 mL

x = 745.28 g Hg

<u>Step 4: Convert</u>

<u />745.28 \ g \ Hg(\frac{1 \ mol \ Hg}{200.59 \ g \ Hg} ) = 3.71544 mol Hg

<u>Step 5: Check</u>

<em>We are given 3 sig figs. Follow sig fig rules and round.</em>

3.71544 mol Hg ≈ 3.72 mol Hg
