Problem 1

A crucible and sample of $\mathrm{CaCO}_{3}$ weighing 42.670 grams were heated until the compound decomposed to form $\mathrm{CaO}$ and $\mathrm{CO}_{2}$ $$ \mathrm{CaCO}_{3}(s) \longrightarrow \mathrm{CaO}(s)+\mathrm{CO}_{2}(g) $$ The crucible had a mass of 35.351 grams. What is the theoretical mass of the crucible and residue after the decomposition is complete?

Problem 3

$\alpha-D$ -Glucopyranose reacts with the periodate ion $\left(\mathrm{IO}_{4}^{-}\right)$ as follows. $$ \begin{array}{l} \mathrm{C}_{6} \mathrm{H}_{12} \mathrm{O}_{6}(a q)+5 \mathrm{IO}_{4}^{-}(a q) \\ \quad \longrightarrow 5 \mathrm{IO}_{3}^{-}(a q)+5 \mathrm{HCO}_{2} \mathrm{H}(a q)+\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{CO}(a q) \end{array} $$ Calculate the molarity of the glucopyranose solution if $25.0 \mathrm{~mL}$ of $0.750 \mathrm{M} \mathrm{IO}_{4}^{-}$ are required to consume $10.0 \mathrm{~mL}$ of the sugar solution.
