He gives Pogo exactly 14 oz of pure gold to fashion the crown and tells him that if hecheats the King, he will pay with his life ! Pogo leaves with the gold; he and his apprenticesspend two weeks in making the crown; finally he returns to the court. When Pogo returns withthe crown, King Krator finds that the crown weighs 397.25 grams, and has a volume of20.58cm3. King Krator asks the court wizard for the density of gold, and Wizard tells the Kingthat gold has a density of 19.3 times that of an equal volume of spring rain. Krator demands aslate, makes a few calculations, then sternly lifts his head to stare at Pogo. Does Pogo's headroll ?arrow_forwardYou are given a crushed sample that is a mixture of limestone (calcium carbonate), lime (calcium oxide), and sand. The calcium carbonate, or limestone, is the only material present in the mixture that will decompose when heated. You subject a 6.0685 g sample of the mixture to strong heating and after the sample reaches constant mass (no more mass is lost with additional heating), the sample has a final weight of 3.9247 g. What is the percentage of calcium carbonate present in the original mixture? (MW of calcium carbonate = 100.1 g/mol) Equation for reaction = CaCO3(s) -> CaO(s) + CO2(g).arrow_forward

- A student collecting CaCO3 produced by the reaction of Na₂CO₂ (aq) and CaCl₂ (aq) obtains a percent yield of 81%. Choose all of the following observations that could explain the low yield. The precipitate was not washed prior to drying. The filter paper was not wetted with water prior to filtering the precipitate. The student did not completely dry the precipitate before weighing it. A rubber policeman was not used to scrape precipitate from the beaker. The combined reactants were not stirred before filtering the precipitate. None of the above.arrow_forwardBalance the following chemical reaction. Enter the sum of the balanced coefficients as your answer.
