calculate the percent composition of the three elements present in calcium carbonate, CaCO3. Round when necessary.

answer : third trial had the contaminated sample and the correct value for dhrxn should be 1000 kj/mol

explanation :

let us write down the given equations

equation 1 :

equation 2 :

equation 3 :

let us use hess's law to find out which 2 equations can be added to get the third equation.

let us reverse equation 2 and multiply it by 2. the new equation that we get is,

equation 4 :

let us add equation 1 & 4

the above equation is similar to equation 3 but has different value for dhrxn.

therefore third trial had the contaminated sample and the correct value for dhrxn should be 1000 kj/mol

to improve her experimental investigation, dalila should add a row in which no fertilizer is used. by a having a contrasting row in which no fertilizer is used, she will have a control group that will her understand the effects of the fertilizer in the plant developments vs the development of the plant when no fertilizer is used.
