Many over-the-counter antacid tablets are now formulated using calcium carbonate as the active ingredient, which enables such tablets to also be used as dietary calcium supplements. As an antacid for gastric hyperacidity, calcium carbonate reacts by combining with hydrochloric acid found in the stomach, producing a solution of calcium chloride, converting the stomach acid to water, and releasing carbon dioxide gas (which the person suffering from stomach problems may feel as a “burp”). Write the unbalanced chemical equation for this process.
Many cereals are made with high moisture content so that the cereal can be formed into various shapes before it is dried. A cereal product containing 58% H2O by mass is produced at the rate of 1000. kg/h. What mass of water must be evaporated per hour if the final product contains only 20.% water?
What does it mean to say an equation is balanced? Why is it important for an equation to be balanced?
Solid calcium carbide (CaC2)reacts with liquid water to produce acetylene gas (C2H2)and aqueous calcium hydroxide. l type='a'> Write the balanced equation for the reaction that is (occurring. including all phases. If a 100.0-g sample of calcium carbide (CaC2)is initially reacted with 50.0 g of water, which reactant is limiting? Prove that mass is conserved for the reactant amounts used in pan b.
Hydrogen peroxide is used as a cleaning agent in the treatment of cuts and abrasions for several reasons. It is an oxidizing agent that can directly kill many microorganisms: It decomposes upon contact with blood, releasing elemental oxygen gas (which inhibits the growth of anaerobic microorganisms); and it foams upon contact with blood, which provides a cleansing action. In the laboratory, small quantities of hydrogen peroxide can be prepared by the action of an acid on an alkaline earth metal peroxide, such as barium peroxide. BaO2(s)+2HCl(aq)H2O2(aq)+BaCl2(aq) What amount of hydrogen peroxide should result when 1.50 g of barium peroxide is treated with 25.0 mL of hydrochloric acid solution containing 0.0272 g of HCI per mL?
