What is the volume, in \(\text{dm}^3\), occupied by \(0.44 \text{ g}\) of carbon dioxide gas, \(CO_2\), at room temperature and pressure (RTP)?
(Molar volume at RTP = \(24.0 \text{ dm}^3 \text{ mol}^{-1}\); Relative atomic masses: \(C = 12.0, O = 16.0\))
Calculate the total number of ions present in \(26.5 \text{ g}\) of anhydrous sodium carbonate, \(Na_2CO_3\).
(Molar mass: \(Na_2CO_3 = 106.0 \text{ g mol}^{-1}\); Avogadro constant \(L = 6.02 \times 10^{23} \text{ mol}^{-1}\))
A student added 10.0 \(cm^3\) of 1.00 \(mol \text{ dm}^{-3}\) hydrochloric acid to a 0.500 g sample of impure calcium carbonate. The excess acid required 4.00 \(cm^3\) of 0.500 \(mol \text{ dm}^{-3}\) sodium hydroxide for neutralisation.
Calculate the percentage purity of the calcium carbonate sample.
\(CaCO_3(s) + 2HCl(aq) \rightarrow CaCl_2(aq) + H_2O(l) + CO_2(g)\)
