Explanation:
MARK ME THE BLAINLIEST
Answer:
(i) 74
(ii) 63
(iii)
Explanation:
(i)The Molecular mass of Ca(OH)
2
=1(Atomic mass of Ca)+2(Atomic mass of O) +2(Atomic mass of H)
=40+2(16)+2(1)
=40+32+2
=74
(ii) The molar mass of the chemical substance is equal to the sum of the atomic mass of the individual atoms.
Given
1) The Atomic mass of H = 1u
2) The Atomic mass of N = 14 u
3) The Atomic mass of O = 16u
The molar mass of HNO3 is
(1 × 1) +(1 × 14) + (16×3) = 63 u.
(iii) Chemical formula of calcium carbonate ⟶CaCO3
Mass of Calcium⟶40
Mass of Carbon⟶12
Mass of Oxygen⟶16
Multiply mass of each element by the number of atoms of that element
Add all the masses obtained after multiplication.⟶CaCO3
=1×40+1×12+3×16
=40+12+48
=100.
