Solve the quadratic equation x^2 + 3x + 2 = 0, by factorisation.

We need two numbers, a and b, such that a*b = 2 and a+b=3Looking at the equation it can be seen that 2 and 1 fulfill these conditions.Therefore x 2 +3x +2=0 = (x+2)(x+1)=0This means we need either x+2 or x+1...

What is the mass (in grams) of 0.1 moles of CaCO3?

Use the equation mass(g) = moles x MrThe moles are given in the question, moles= 0.1 molLook at a periodic table to work out the Mr of CaCO3: Ca= 40 C= 12 O= 16 Therefore Mr= 40+12+(16x3) = 100So mass (g)= 0...
