Limestone is a solid and the mass is measured in units of mass.

Mass = Volume x Density; for limestone the density is very variable.

If you heated limestone how would you expect the mass of the limestone to compare with the mass of calcium oxide?

When limestone is heated, it undergoes a chemical reaction that releases carbon dioxide gas, leaving behind calcium oxide. As a result, the mass of the limestone would be greater than the mass of the calcium oxide produced, due to the loss of carbon dioxide during the reaction.


What mass of limestone in kg would be required to completely neutralize a 15.4 billion-liter lake that is 1.9105 M in H2SO4 and 8.7106 M in HNO3?

To calculate the amount of limestone needed, first determine the moles of H2SO4 and HNO3 in the lake. Then, use the stoichiometry of the neutralization reaction between limestone (CaCO3) and the acids to calculate the moles of limestone required to neutralize the acids. Finally, convert the moles of limestone to kilograms using the molar mass of CaCO3.


How does sulfuric acid react with limestone?

if limestone is in a solid form it would degrade (hence a loss in mass of the limestone) and carbon dioxide would be given off. if it is in the powdered form the change in mass would not be very obvious and only a loss carbon dioxide would be seen.

The mass of 43,7 L of helium at STP is 7.8 g.


Lakes have been acidified by acid rain hno3 and h2so4 can be neutralized by a process called liming in which limestone caco3 is added to the acudified water what mass of limestone in kg would?

To calculate the mass of limestone (CaCO3) needed to neutralize HNO3 and H2SO4 in acidified water, you can use stoichiometry. First, determine the amount of acid in moles. Then, use the balanced chemical equation to find the moles of CaCO3 needed to neutralize the acid. Finally, convert the moles of CaCO3 to mass in kilograms using its molar mass.

Limestone has a density of 2.72gcm3 what is the mass of 38.6 cm3 of limestone?

To find the mass, you would use the formula mass = density x volume. In this case, mass = 2.72g/cm³ x 38.6 cm³, which equals approximately 104.992g.

What mass of quicklime can be made from 1 ton of limestone?

Approximately 0.56 tons of quicklime can be made from 1 ton of limestone. This conversion is based on the typical composition of limestone, which is primarily calcium carbonate. During the process of heating limestone to produce quicklime, carbon dioxide is released, leading to a reduction in mass.

If 18.52 g of limestone decomposes by heat to give 8.19 g of calcium oxide and carbon dioxide gas what is the mass of carbon dioxide produced?

This kind of a question is known as a "mass balance equation" in that the mass of the sum of the reactants must equal the mass of the sum of the products. (In fact, there will be some mass lost during exothermic reactions - but it is negligible from the perspective of the question). So, in this case, you already have a limiting factor which is the mass of limestone (18.52 g). Therefore, you know that the sum of the masses of the products must be equal to 18.52). Now, all the information you need to answer your question is actually given to you in your question. Read and consider your question carefully, and think about what has just been said.


What mass of carbon dioxide would be produced when 2.00g of limestone is heated?

The chemical formula for limestone is CaCO3. When heated, limestone decomposes to produce calcium oxide (CaO) and carbon dioxide (CO2). The molar mass of CaCO3 is 100.09 g/mol. To calculate the mass of CO2 produced, you would first calculate the moles of CaCO3 in 2.00g, then use the stoichiometry from the balanced chemical equation to determine the moles and then mass of CO2 produced.
