Question

A student attempted to identify an unknown compound by the method used in this experiment. She found that when she heated a sample weighing 0.4862 g, the mass barely changed, dropping to 0.4855 g. When the product was converted to chloride, the mass went up to 0.5247 g. A. Is the sample a carbonate? ________ B. What are the two compounds that might be in the unknown? ______________ or ___________ C. Write the balanced chemical equation for the overall reaction that occurs when each of these two original compounds is converted to a chloride. If the compound is hydrogen carbonate, use the sum of Reactions 1 and 2. If the sample is a carbonate, use Reaction 2. Write the equation for sodium salt and then for potassium salt. D. How many moles of the chloride salt would be produced from one mole of original compound? _____________
