Calcium carbonate contains the carbonate ion. Citric acid is an acid. When an acid reacts with a carbonate, carbon dioxide gas is one of the products. Carbon dioxide gas produces the fizzing effect in water.

When an acid reacts with a carbonate, carbon dioxide gas is one of the products.

If antacids are dissolved prior to ingestion, the reaction between carbonate and hydrogen is faster.

Automobile bodies contain significant amounts of iron. The iron is protected by the addition of zinc. This is called galvanizati

Oksana_A [137]

Answer: The balanced chemical equation is written below.

Explanation:

Galvanization is defined as the process in which a protective layer of zinc is applied to iron or steel to prevent the metal from rusting.

Zinc prevents the oxidation of iron and acts as a reducing agent in the process.

The half reaction for the process follows:

Oxidation half reaction: $Zn\rightarrow Zn^{2+}+2e^-$

Reduction half reaction: $Fe^{2+}+2e^-\rightarrow Fe$

Net chemical equation: $Zn+Fe^{2+}\rightarrow Zn^{2+}+Fe$

Hence, the balanced chemical equation is written above.

The molar mass of oxygen gas (O2) is 32.00 g/mol. The molar mass of C3H8 is 44.1 g/mol. What mass of O2, in grams, is required t

Ira Lisetskai [31]

The reaction formula of this is C3H8 + 5O2 --> 3CO2 + 4H2O. The ratio of mole number of C3H8 and O2 is 1:5. 0.025g equals to 0.025/44.1=0.00057 mole. So the mass of O2 is 0.00057*5*32=0.0912 g.

Gaseous ICl (0.20 mol) was added to a 2.0 L flask and allowed to decompose at a high temperature:

Ne4ueva [31]

Answer:

The Kc is 1.36 (but this is not an option, may be the options are wrong, or may be I was .. Thanks!)

Explanation:

Let's think all the situation.

2 ICl(g) ⇄ I₂(g) + Cl₂(g)

Initially 0.20 - -

Initially I have only 0.20 moles of reactant, and nothing of products. In the reaction, an x amount of compound has reacted.

React x x/2 x/2

Because the ratio is 2:1, in the reaction I have the half of moles.

So in equilibrium I will have

(0.20 - x) x/2 x/2

Notice that I have the concentration in equilibrium so:

0.20 - x = 0.060

x = 0.14

So in equilibrium I have formed 0.14/2 moles of I₂ and H₂ (0.07 moles)

Finally, we have to make, the expression for Kc and remember that must to be with concentration in M (mol/L).

As we have a volume of 2L, the values must be /2

Kc = ([I₂]/2 . [H₂]/2) / ([ICl]/2)²

Kc = (0.07/2 . 0.07/2) / (0.060/2)²

Kc = 1.225x10⁻³ / 9x10⁻⁴

Kc = 1.36

How many molecules of carbon dioxide are in 243.6 g of carbon dioxide?

german

Hey there !

Molar mass carbon dioxide:

CO2 = 44.01 g/mol

1) number of moles :

1 mole CO2 ------------- 44.01 g
(moles CO2) ------------ 243.6 g

moles CO2 = 243.6 * 1 / 44.01

moles CO2 = 243.6 / 44.01

=> 5.535 moles of CO2

Therefore:

1 mole -------------------- 6.02x10²³ molecules
5.535 moles ------------ ( molecules CO2)

molecules CO2 = 5.535 * ( 6.02x10²³) / 1

=> 3.33x10²⁴ molecules of CO2

Why are weight and mass used synonymously on Earth?

RUDIKE [14]

Actually mass and weight are two different things but most people did not understand the difference between them. And they are used synonymously on the earth. Mass is the measure of the amount of matter and weight is the measure of how the force of gravity acts on the mass that is Weight = mass x force of gravity. And they are also directly proportional to each other that is also the reason both terms are used synonymously.
