Interpretation: To predict the calcium compound among the following that does not dissolve in hydrochloric acid.
Concept introduction: Calcium is one of the most abundant elements found on earth. It is an alkaline earth metal and belongs to group
Calcium Oxide is quick lime and is a white, amorphous solid. Calcium hydroxide is known as slaked lime. Both are slightly soluble in water and dissolve in acids. Calcium carbonate is present in limestone and chalk. The hydrated calcium sulfate is known as gypsum. Cement also contains calcium. Hydroxyapatite is also a type of calcium compound found in tooth enamel.

- 4.48 Elemental phosphorous is used in the semiconductor industry. It can be obtained from an ore called fluoroapatite via reaction with SiO2 and C: 4Ca5( PO4)3F+18SiO2+30C3P4+30CO+18CaSiO3+2CaF2 Suppose a particular semiconductor production plant requires 1500 kg of P4. If the recovery of P4 from this reaction is 73% efficient, what mass of fluoroapatite is needed?arrow_forwardIodine can be prepared by allowing an aqueous solution of hydrogen iodide to react with manganese dioxide, MnO2. The reaction is 2I(aq)+4H+(aq)+MnO2(s)Mn2+(aq)+2H2O+I2(s) If an excess of hydrogen iodide is added to 0.200 g of MnO2, how many grams of iodine are obtained, assuming 100% yield?arrow_forwardWhat is the mass of fish, in kilograms, that one would have to consume to obtain a fatal dose of mercury, if the fish contains 30 parts per million of mercury by weight? (Assume that all the mercury from the fish ends up as mercury (II) chloride in the body and that a fatal dose is 0.20 g of HgCl2.) How many pounds of fish is this?arrow_forward
