That's okay, I needed a new one before the start of classes anyway.

Next question, Tue 29/8, will come from DraconicAcid, after my answer to #1.

Please answer to DraconicAcid, not your humble undersigned.

Keep answers concise and to the point, like exam answers, and not like:

Dear Teacher,

I was thinking about it the other day and while peeling the cabbages I saw the light. So blah blah...


Thank you!

Wow ! That's freaky on quite a few levels.

Anyway, it's 30-8-2016 here, so dump the puzzle on us Draco.

Maybe that's the Puzzle ?

If the puzzle had-was-having-hadded Time-Shift involved, i'd better will-have-gotted-getting-get really drunk to even understand it.

Answer to first question:

952 ml CO2 at STP is:

$$n=\frac{0.952 L}{22.4 L/mole}=0.0425\:\mathrm{mole}$$

Half of that is MgCO3, so:

$$\frac12 \times 0.0425 \times 84.134=1.79\:\mathrm{g}$$

... of MgCO3. That leaves:

$$4.932-1.79=3.144\:\mathrm{g}$$

... of the other carbonate. We also know it's 0.02125 moles.

The molar mass of XCO3 is thus:

$$MM=\frac{3.144}{0.02125}=148\:\mathrm{g/mole}$$

... which is very close to the MM of SrCO3.
<hr>

DraconicAcid can now publish Question #2. Thanks.

That wasnt 4 days :(
I finished the problem yesterday at 11-12 pm and decided to wait for tomorrow (today) so that I could check it in a decent hour, and I come here to find out in that time the answer was posted

I'll just be faster with the second one I guess

Edit: Now I see the "solution provided tomorrow", woops xD

3.75 g of a metal chloride is dissolved in water and treated with excess aqueous silver nitrate, resulting in the formation of 10.66 g of precipitate.

a) (3 marks) Give the net ionic equation for the formation of the precipitate (with states and charges).

b) (7 marks) Identify the metal, giving your reasoning.

U2U me your answers (don't worry, I haven't found a new stick yet).

Suck it up boys suck it up. I got caught on the last question because i approached the problem from the wrong angle, if there is several solutions then you can bet your missing something.

If they are too easy your not a true noob :D. How long do we get for this one?

I'm not a noob, when it comes to theoretical (paper) chemistry (practice is a different thing), but I decided to give this compoetition a try. I missed the first one, but whatever. I've found a solution (pretty easily) but I'm not sure how to send it via U2U. The equation is a big problem. Is it possible to send a file (doc or pdf of even png) via U2U?

BTW, will there be a question about organic chemistry?

Great question DA. I really enjoyed doing that one. Rather a clever concept.

@MeshPL.
There has been a bit of discussion behind the scenes with blogfast and questions coming from a few different sources. I don't know if there is an OC one in the pipeline but I hope so. If there is, it is likely to stretch me.

Easy ?

A lot of head-scratching going on here.

Edit:

Finally worked it out !

There does seem to be only 1 right answer.

Important notice:

"Sorry" to those missed a deadline.

After DraconicAcid's question is closed, several more questions will be published more or less at once and these will stay open till the end of the competition (back-end of September, exact date and time to be decided on yet).

I am still head scratching! Doing the questions at once and then a reasonable deadline would be great, i can manage my time better then.

How should I send the answer?
LatEx doesnt seem to work in u2u and I have a hard to understand handwritting, and a non latex formated answer may be hard to read.
Not everybody knows latex anyways (The reason I tried latEx is because of my shitty handwritting), I just learned some of it because my sister, who is very bad with computers needed to learn it to make stuff for his degree, so I decided to learn it to help her, and ill probably need it in the future once I start my chem. E. degree in like a month :D
Ill send this answer as an screenshot to a latEx thingie
