What is the mass of CO2 lost at 20 min from the limestone sample? How much CO2, in moles, was lost at 20 min from the limestone sample?

How much CO3 2- was lost at 20 min from the limestone sample?

The mass, CO2 and CO3 from the limestone sample is discussed below in details.

Explanation:

(A) mass loss of sample of limestone after 20 min

= 0.8437g-0.5979g = 0.2458 g

From the given reaction of limestone, 2 mol of the sample gives 2 moles of CO 2.

Therefore  

184.4 g ( molar mass of limestone) gives2× 44 g of carbon dioxide.

1 g of sample gives 88/184.4 g of carbon dioxide

Hence 0.2458 g sample gives

= 88/184.4 × 0.2458 g = 0.117 g carbon dioxide

(B) mole of CO 2 lost = weight/ molar mass

= 0.117 g / 44 g/mol =0.0027 mole

(C). 1 mol of limestone contain 2 mol of carbonate ion

From the reaction we know that carbonate ion of limestone is converted into carbondioxide

Hence lost carbonate ion = 0.2458 g

(D) we know that

1 mol limestone contain 1mol CaCO 3

Hence in sample present CaCO 3

= 1mole / 184.4 g × 0.8437 g= 0.00458 mol CaCO3

aquifers are bounded above and below by impermeable rock. the driving force of groundwater movement in confined aquifers is pressure, rather than gravity.
