4.5 moles of calcium carbonate are reached with dilute hydrochloric acid. (i) Write the equations for the reaction. (ii) What is the mass of 4.5 moles of calcium carbonate? (Relative molecular mass of calcium carbonate is 100). (iii) What is the volume of carbon dioxide liberated at stp? (iv) What mass of calcium chloride is formed? (Relative molecular mass of calcium chloride is 111). (v) How many moles of HCl are used in this reaction? |
|
Answer» (i) CaCO3 + 2HCL ⟶ CaCl2 + H2O + CO2 (ii) Relative molecular mass of CaCO3 = 100 If mass of 1 mole of CaCO3 = 100 gm Then 4.5 moles of CaCO3 = \(\frac{100}{1}\times 4.5\) = 450 gm.

Define Balance of Trade. |
|
Answer» Trade account of the balance of payments includes exports and imports of goods in a year. The difference between the value of exports of goods and value of imports of goods is called the balance of trade. For example: if the value of the exports of goods is Rs. 10,000 in a year and the value of imports in the same year is Rs. 6,000, then the balance of trade is (+) Rs 4,000. It is a surplus balance of trade as exports are greater than imports. |
