How many proton in 100g caco3

Answer»

Well, calcium CARBONATE, or limestone, has a CHEMICAL formula of

C

a

C

O

3

. It has a molar MASS of around

100

g/mol

.

So, in

10

g

of calcium carbonate, there will be

10

g

100

g

/mol

=

0.1

mol

So, there will be

0.1

moles of calcium carbonate in this sample.

One mole of molecules is defined by

6.02

⋅

10

23

molecules.

Therefore, there exist

6.02

⋅

10

23

⋅

0.1

=

6.02

⋅

10

22

molecules of calcium carbonate.

C

CONSISTS of one calcium atom, one CARBON atom, and three oxygen atoms.

A calcium atom has

20

protons, a carbon atom has

6

protons, and one oxygen atom has

8

protons, and so three oxygen atoms would have

8

⋅

3

=

24

protons.

In total, one molecule of calcium carbonate has

20

+

6

+

24

=

50

protons. But, we have

6.02

⋅

10

22

molecules of calcium carbonate.

Therefore, in total, we would have

6.02

⋅

10

22

⋅

50

=

3.01

⋅

10

24

protons.
