- A mixture contained calcium carbonate, CaCO3, and magnesium carbonate, MgCO3. A sample of this mixture weighing 7.85 g was reacted with excess hydrochloric acid. The reactions are CaCO3(g)+2HCL(aq)CaCl2(aq)+H2O(I)+CO2(g)MgCO3(s)+2HCL(aq)MgCl2(aq)+H2O(I)+CO2(g) If the sample reacted completely and produced 1.94 L of carbon dioxide, CO2, at 25C and 785 mmHg, what were the percentages of CaCO3 and MgCO3 in the mixture?arrow_forwardA sample of a smoke stack emission was collected into a 1.25-L tank at 752 mm Hg and analyzed. The analysis showed 92% CO2, 3.6% NO, 1.2% SO2, and 4.1% H2O by mass. What is the partial pressure exerted by each gas?arrow_forwardSulfur trioxide, SO3, is produced in enormous quantities each year for use in the synthesis of sulfuric acid. S(s)+O2(g)SO2(g)2SO2(g)+O2(g)2SO3(g) What volume of O2(g) at 350.C and a pressure of 5.25 atm is needed to completely convert 5.00 g sulfur to sulfur trioxide?arrow_forward
- Magnesium burns in air to produce magnesium oxide, MgO, and magnesium nitride, Mg3N2 Magnesium nitride reacts with water to give ammonia. Mg3N2(s)+6H2O(l)3Mg(OH)2(s)+2NH3(g) What volume of ammonia gas at 24C and 753 mmHg will be produced from 3.93 g of magnesium nitride?arrow_forwardNitrogen trifluoride gas reacts with steam to produce the gases HF, NO, and NO2. (a) Write a balanced equation for the reaction. (b) What volume of nitrogen oxide is formed when 5.22 L of nitrogen trifluoride are made to react with 5.22 L of steam? Assume 100% yield and constant temperature and pressure conditions throughout the reaction.arrow_forwardPyruvic acid, HC3H3O3, is involved in cell metabolism. It can be assayed for (that is, the amount of it determined) by using a yeast enzyme. The enzyme makes the following reaction go to completion: HC3H3O3(aq)C2H4O(aq)+CO2(g) If a sample containing pyruvic acid gives 21.2 mL of carbon dioxide gas, CO2, at 349 mmHg and 30C, how many grams of pyruvic acid are there in the sample?arrow_forward
- The Mount Pinatubo volcano eruption in 1991 released an estimated 1.82 x 1013g of SO2 into the atmosphere. If the gas had an average temperature of -17.0 C and filled the troposphere, whose approximate volume is 8 x 1021L, what is the approximate partial pressure of SO2 caused by the eruption?arrow_forwardA mixture contained zinc sulfide, ZnS, and lead sulfide, PbS. A sample of the mixture weighing 6.12 g was reacted with an excess of hydrochloric acid. The reactions are ZnS(s)+2HCL(aq)ZnCl2(aq)+H2S(g)PbS(s)+2HCL(aq)PbCl2(aq)+H2S(g) If the sample reacted completely and produced 1.049 L of hydrogen sulfide, H2S, at 23C and 762 mmHg, what were the percentages of ZnS and PbS in the mixture?arrow_forwardA sample of natural gas is 85.2% methane, CH4, and 14.8% ethane, C2H6, by mass. What is the density of this mixture at 18C and 771 mmHg?arrow_forward
- If 4.83 mL of an unknown gas effuses through a hole in a plate in the same time it takes 9.23 mL of argon, Ar, to effuse through the same hole under the same conditions, what is the molecular weight of the unknown gas?arrow_forwardIf the rms speed of He atoms in the exosphere (highest region of the atmosphere) is 3.53 103 m/s, what is the temperature (in kelvins)?arrow_forwardTwo identical He-filled balloons, each with a volume of 20 L, are allowed to rise into the atmosphere. One rises to an altitude of 3000 m while the other rises to 6000 m. a Assuming that the balloons are at the same temperature, which balloon has the greater volume? b What information would you need in order to calculate the volume of each of the balloons at their respective heights?arrow_forward
