Sample of carbonate rock is a mixture of CaCO3 and MgCO3. The rock is Analyzed in a laboratory and the results are recorded in the table above. Which columns in a table provide all the information necessary to determine the mole ratio of analyzed in a laboratory and the results are recorded in the table above. Which columns in a table provide all the information necessary to determine the mole ratio of Ca to Mg in the rock

You need the mass of Mg and Ca in the sample and their molar masses

Explanation:

Its the only answer that made sense because using those 4, can give you their ration

The Columns in the table that provides the information necessary for the calculating the mole ratio of Ca to Mg are columns ; 3, 4, 6, and 7

Although some data related to your question is missing attached below is the missing data

Determining the mole ratio of Ca to Mg

           Ca         :        Mg

mass of Ca / molar mass  :  mass of Mg / Molar mass

( 36.1 / 40.1 )  :  ( 2.4 / 24.3 )

9.14  : 1

∴ The mole ratio of Mg to Ca

≈  1 : 9

Where: Column 3 = Mass of Mg in the sample ( g )

            Column 4 = mass of Ca in the sample  ( g )

             Column 6 = Molar mass of Mg ( g/mol )

             Column 7 = molar mass of Ca ( g/mol )

Hence the Mole ratio of Mg to Ca = 1 : 9
