AI Thread Summary
To calculate the mass of calcium carbonate precipitate formed from mixing sodium carbonate and calcium nitrate, first, write the balanced reaction equation: Na2CO3 + Ca(NO3)2 → CaCO3 + 2NaNO3. Determine the moles of sodium carbonate by multiplying its concentration (0.2000 mol/L) by its volume (0.10000 L), resulting in 0.02000 moles. For calcium nitrate, multiply its concentration (0.1000 mol/L) by its volume (0.20000 L), yielding 0.02000 moles. Since the reaction has a 1:1 molar ratio, both reactants will completely react, producing 0.02000 moles of calcium carbonate, which can be converted to mass using its molar mass (100.09 g/mol), resulting in 2.002 grams of precipitate. This calculation illustrates the stoichiometric relationships in the reaction.

A solution of 100.00mL of 0.2000mol/L sodium carbonate and 200.00mL of 0.1000mol/L calcium nitrate solutions are mixed together according to the reaction: sodium carbonate + calcium nitrate→ calcium carbonate + sodium nitrate. how would you calculate the mass of calcium carbonate that would precipitate?

Start with the balanced reaction equation. How many moles of sodium carbonate? Of calcium nitrate? This is simple stoichiometry and conversion between concentration, volume, number of moles and mass.

Thread 'Humidity of a saturated NaCl solution with anticaking additive'

I want to test a humidity sensor with one or more saturated salt solutions. The table salt that I have on hand contains one of two anticaking agents, calcium silicate or sodium aluminosilicate. Will the presence of either of these additives (or iodine for that matter) significantly affect the equilibrium humidity? I searched and all the how-to-do-it guides did not address this question. One research paper I found reported that at 1.5% w/w calcium silicate increased the deliquescent point by...

Thread 'Resists for etching Aluminium with NaOH'

I'm trying to find a cheap DIY method to etch holes of various shapes through 0.3mm Aluminium sheet using 5-10% Sodium Hydroxide. The idea is to apply a resist to the Aluminium then selectively ablate it off using a diode laser cutter and then dissolve away the Aluminium using Sodium Hydroxide. By cheap I mean resists costing say £20 in small quantities. The Internet has suggested various resists to try including... Enamel paint (only survived seconds in the NaOH!) Acrylic paint (only...
