First off, common classroom chalk is made from plaster of paris - CaSO4. It of course 'chalks' badly. Grease pencils, and fluid-based writing impliments avoid this side effect.

What properties of chalk make it useful to a gymnast?

Chalk helps absorb moisture and sweat from the hands, providing a better grip on gymnastics equipment. It also reduces friction between the hands and the equipment, allowing for smoother movements and preventing blisters. Additionally, chalk can enhance proprioception by providing sensory feedback to the gymnast's hands, improving their control and performance.


How many moles in a teaspoon of chalk?

The molecular weight(M) of chalk(CaCO3) = (40+12+48)g/mol =100g/mol and teaspoon (m)= 4.93g We know, n=m/M So, n= (4.93/100) mol = .0493 mol To find out number of molecules we use, N= n x NA equation. N= .0493 mol x 6.02 x 1023 molecules/mol =2.968 x 1022 molecules Therefore, there are 2.968 x 1022 molecules in a teaspoon of chalk.

What happened to the chalk mixed with hydrochloric acid?

CaCO3,s + 2H+aq --> Ca2+aq + CO2,g + H2Oliq You don't need to heat it up, it goes very well at room temperature, even below freezing point. The reaction rate depends more on coarseness of the chalk and the concentration of HCl.

What material do you need to are need to measure the density of chalk?

To measure the density of chalk, you need a sample of chalk, a scale to weigh the sample, and a graduated cylinder or measuring cup for volume measurement. First, weigh the chalk to determine its mass, then submerge it in water to measure the volume displaced, which corresponds to the chalk's volume. Finally, calculate the density using the formula density = mass/volume.
