Interpretation: To predict the calcium compound among the following that does not dissolve in hydrochloric acid.
Concept introduction: Calcium is one of the most abundant elements found on earth. It is an alkaline earth metal and belongs to group
Calcium Oxide is quick lime and is a white, amorphous solid. Calcium hydroxide is known as slaked lime. Both are slightly soluble in water and dissolve in acids. Calcium carbonate is present in limestone and chalk. The hydrated calcium sulfate is known as gypsum. Cement also contains calcium. Hydroxyapatite is also a type of calcium compound found in tooth enamel.

Chemistry & Chemical Reactivity
- 4.48 Elemental phosphorous is used in the semiconductor industry. It can be obtained from an ore called fluoroapatite via reaction with SiO2 and C: 4Ca5( PO4)3F+18SiO2+30C3P4+30CO+18CaSiO3+2CaF2 Suppose a particular semiconductor production plant requires 1500 kg of P4. If the recovery of P4 from this reaction is 73% efficient, what mass of fluoroapatite is needed?arrow_forwardPhosphorous acid, H3PO3, is oxidized to phosphoric acid, H3PO4, by nitric acid, which is reduced to nitrogen monoxide, NO. Write the balanced equation for this reaction.arrow_forward36. Balance these ionic redox equations using the ion- electron method. These reactions occur in basic solution.arrow_forward
- b)4 A wastewater contains 7.2 mg L-1 phosphorus and is treated with 15 mg L1 aluminum in the form of an alum solution. Assume that phosphorus is precipitated out by Al3+(aq) + PO43 (aq) – AIPO4(s) and that any excess added aluminum forms Al(OH)3. Calculate the mass of inorganic sludge produced in one day in a plant treating 20000 m3 of wastewater.arrow_forward2. (Balance the equation) FeCl+NaOH>Fe(OH);+Naclarrow_forward(A) if both sentences are true,(B) if both sentences are false,(C) if the first sentence is true but the second is false, and(D) if the first sentence is false but the second is true. 1. In a redox reaction, the oxidation number of iron changed from +2 to +3; thus, sulfur is a reducing agent. In a redox reaction, the oxidation number of nitrogen was unchanged; thus, nitrogen is an oxidant. 2. In a redox reaction, the reducing agent is oxidized and it gains electrons. In a redox reaction, the oxidizing agent is reduced and it gains electrons. 3. Bending stress is also known as flexural stress. The test used in observing the mechanical strength of chocolate is the three-point bend test. 4. The flexural strength of materials may be expressed in Pascals. Magnesium is more reactive than silver; therefore, magnesium corrodes faster than silver with the aid of air, oxygen, and sea water.arrow_forward
