The chemistry of fresco painting is the chemistry of limestone and lime plaster. limestone is calcium carbonate (caco3), an abundant, naturally occurring mineral. two key reactions, shown below, are involved in the process of converting limestone to lime plaster (calcium hydroxide). classify each of these reactions as one of the four types of reactions listed in this experiment (decomposition, synthesis, single replacement, or double replacement).

The question is incomplete, here is the complete question:

The chemistry of fresco painting is the chemistry of limestone and lime plaster. limestone is calcium carbonate, an abundant, naturally occurring mineral. two key reactions, shown below, are involved in the process of converting limestone to lime plaster (calcium hydroxide). classify each of these reactions as one of the four types of reactions listed in this experiment (decomposition, synthesis, single replacement, or double replacement).

(a)  

(b)  

Equation (a) is a decomposition reaction and equation (b) is a combination reaction.

Explanation:

Decomposition reaction is defined as the reaction in which a single large substance breaks down into two or more smaller substances.

Combination reaction is defined as the reaction in which smaller substances combine to form a larger substance.

Single displacement reaction is defined as the reaction in which more reactive element displaces a less reactive element from its chemical reaction.

The reactivity of metal is determined by a series known as reactivity series. The metals lying above in the series are more reactive than the metals which lie below in the series.

Double displacement reactions are defined as the reactions in which exchange of ions takes place.

For the given equations:

(a)  

This equation is a type of decomposition reaction in which calcium carbonate breaks down into calcium oxide and carbon dioxide

(b)  

This equation is a type of combination reaction in which calcium oxide reacts with water to form calcium hydroxide.

"you start with 15.67 g mgco3-xh2o, when heated and all the water is removed, you are left with 7.58 g mgco3 only.

therefore, you had 15.67 - 7.58 = 8.09g h2o  

moles of each :

7.58g mgco3 = ? moles = 7.58g / 83.4g/mole = 0.09moles  

8 09g h2o = ? moles = 8.09g / 18g/mole = 0.44moles  

molar ratio between the two by dividing both numbers by the smallest number :

0.09 / 0.09 = 1  

0.44 / 0.09 = 4.8  

mgco3-5h2o"

assuming that your periodic table has eighteen columns, you should highlight   the four elements in the third column from the left of the table.

neutral atoms of elements after calcium contain d electrons. the energy of d orbitals of a particular main shell lies between the energy of the s and p orbitals of the next main shell. for example, electrons in the have energy higher than those in the orbital while lower than those of the orbital.

by the aufbau principle, electrons fill orbitals one at a time, starting from those of the lowest energy. the orbital is therefore filled right after orbitals and before orbitals.  

potassium has electron configuration and calcium . the s orbital of a main shell holds a maximum of two electrons. the next element would thus have the electron configuration and satisfy the requirements.

a neutral atom of the element contains three electrons on top of the most recent noble gas element. it should thus be placed in the third column of the periodic table. both scandium and yttrium would satisfy the conditions. an aufbau diagram indicates that the 4f orbital is filled before the 5d. however, it appears that exceptions exists for both lanthanum and actinium. neutral atoms of the two d-block elements also demonstrate the and should be highlighted as well.
