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.
A power plant is driven by the combustion of a complex fossil fuel having the formula C11H7S. Assume the air supply is composed of only N2 and O2 with a molar ratio of 3.76:1.00, and the N2 remains unreacted. In addition to the water produced, the fuels C is completely combusted to CO2 and its sulfur content is converted to SO2. In order to evaluate gases emitted at the exhaust stacks for environmental regulation purposes, the nitrogen supplied with the air must also be included in the balanced reactions. a Including the N2 supplied m the air, write a balanced combustion equation for the complex fuel assuming 100% stoichiometric combustion (i.e., when there is no excess oxygen in the products and the only C-containing product is CO2). Except in the case of N2, use only integer coefficients. b Including N2 supplied in the air, write a balanced combustion equation for the complex fuel assuming 120% stoichiometric combustion (i.e., when excess oxygen is present in the products and the only C-containing product is CO2). Except in the case of use only integer coefficients c Calculate the minimum mass (in kg) of air required to completely combust 1700 kg of C11H7S. d Calculate the air/fuel mass ratio, assuming 100% stoichiometric combustion. e Calculate the air/fuel mass ratio, assuming 120% stoichiometric combustion.
1. How many grams of magnesium oxide cam be made by reacting 14.555 g of magnesium metal in the process followed in this lab, assuming no losses along theway.
Cocaine (C17H21O4N) is a natural substance found in the leaves of the coca plant, which has been used for centuries as a local anesthetic and stimulant. Illegal cocaine arrives in the USA either as a pure compound or as the hydrochloride salt (C17H21O4NHCl). At 25oC, the salt is very soluble in water (2.50 kg/L), but pure cocaine is much less so (1.70 g/L). What is the maximum amount of salt (in gram) that can dissolve in 50.0 mL of water? [1 mark.] When a 25 mL aqueous solution that contains 62.50 g of the salt is treated with NaOH, the salt is converted to pure cocaine. How much water (in liters) is needed additionally to dissolve the formed pure cocaine? Round your final answer off to two decimal points. C17H21O4NHCl(aq) + NaOH(aq) → C17H21O4N(aq) + H2O(l) + NaCl(aq)
(b) What mass of oxygen is required to burn completely 1.00 L of a mixture that is 90.0%gasoline (d=0.742 g/mL) and 10.0% ethanol (d=0.789 g/mL) by volume?
A 3.8 g sample of sodium hydrogen carbonate is added to al solution of acetic acid weighing 10.5 g. The two substances react, releasing carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. After the reaction, the contents of the reaction vessel weigh 11.7 g. What is the mass of carbon dioxide released during the reaction?
You found a container with a white substance labeled MCIO, but you do not know which Group 1 metal M represents. You decide to use your chemistry wizardry to identify this mystery substance. You dissolve 5.00 g in enough water to produce 250. ml of the solution (Solution A). You decompose the chlorate according to the following reaction: 2MCIO3 (ag) -> 2MCI (ag) + 3 0, (g)AHrn =-140.2 kJ1. You collect the 02 produced and it has a volume of 1.53 L at a temperature of 25.0 °C and 0.980 atm.(a)
Combustion of hydrocarbons such as ethane (C2H6) produces carbon dioxide, a "greenhouse gas." Greenhouse gases in the earth's atmospher can trap the sun's heat, raising the average temperature of the earth. For this reason there has been great deal of international discussion about whether to regulate the production of carbon dioxide. 1. Write a balanced chemical equation, including physical state symbols, for the combustion of gaseous ethan into gaseous carbon dioxide and gaseous water 2. Suppose 0.460 kg of ethane are burned in air at a pressure of exactly 1 atm and a temperature of 20.0 degrees celsius. Calculate the volume of carbon dioxide gas that is produced. Round your answer to 3 significant digits.
Write a balanced chemical equation for each of the statements given below. Also show the phase of each substance. When potassium chlorate, which is a solid, is heated mildly it decomposes to give potassium chlorite, which is also a solid, and oxygen.
Disasters happened with the unsafe storage and handling of fireworks/firecracker products. Enumerate some of these products and give the gaseous products of the chemical reactions when they explode. Is the prohibition of its manufacture justifiable? Does the danger to life and properties outweigh the economic advantages of outlawing these products? Why?

Magnesium nitrate and barium nitrate decompose similarly on heating and the reaction can be represented as follow: M(NO3)2 (s) --› MO (s) + 2NO2 (g) + ½O2 (g), where M = Mg or Ba (a) When Group 1 nitrates (with the exception of lithium nitrate) are strongly heated, the corresponding nitrite was formed along with a colorless gas which relights a glowing splint. (i) Write a balanced equation for the thermal decomposition of potassium nitrate. (ii) Unlike other Group 1 nitrates, lithium nitrate decomposes on heating in the same way as Group 2 nitrates. Suggest a reason for the difference in behaviour, and give an equation for its decomposition. (b) Zinc carbonate and magnesium carbonate decompose when heated to give similar products.
