when1.015 grams of calcium carbonate is reaced with 20.440 grams of hydrochloric acid the resulting mass is 21.128grams. what mass of gaseous product was released.
To find the mass of the gaseous product released in the reaction between calcium carbonate and hydrochloric acid, we need to calculate the mass difference before and after the reaction.
1. Start by finding the initial mass:
Initial Mass = Mass of Calcium Carbonate + Mass of Hydrochloric Acid
Initial Mass = 1.015 grams + 20.440 grams
2. Next, find the final mass:
Final Mass = Resulting Mass after Reaction
Final Mass = 21.128 grams
3. Calculate the mass difference:
Mass Difference = Final Mass - Initial Mass
The mass difference will give us the mass of the gaseous product released during the reaction.
I bet it is solved this way, in accordance with the conservation of mass:
initial mass=final mass
1.015+20.440=21.128+massgas
