Answer:

Explanation:

Ok so Proust's Law, better known as the Law of Definite Proportions, states that the components of a compound always exist in a fixed ratio. This means that it does not matter what the source of the components are nor the coefficients in front of them. The ratio your teacher is referring to is most likely mass percent/ percent composition. This ratio is the amount of the component over the amount of the entire compound times 100%.

*I am not very familiar with this law so please do with my answers what you will :)*

7.)

First, you want to find the percent composition (aka mass composition) of Na in NaCl.

 45.89 g Na
---------------------  x 100%  =  39.3%
116.89 g NaCl

So, there must be 39.3% sodium in NaCl. You can find how much chlorine is in NaCl by subtracting that percent by 100 (to find the percent composition of chlorine) then multiplying it by the mass.

100% - 39.3% = 60.7%

60.7% / 100 = 0.0607

116.89 g NaCl x 0.0607 = 70.91 g Cl₂

You could also just subtract the mass of sodium from the mass of sodium chloride to find the mass of chlorine.

116.89 g NaCl - 45.89 g Na = 71 g Cl₂

8.)

10.57 g Mg + 6.96 g O₂ = 17.53 g MgO

  6.96 g O₂
---------------------  x 100%  = 39.7% O₂
17.53 g MgO

9.)

6.46 g Pb = 1 g O₂

68.54 g Pb  =  28.76 g O₂

68.54 g Pb / 28.76 g O₂ = 2.83 g ≠ 6.46 g

No, the two samples are not the same because the proportion of lead to oxygen is not the same for both samples. In the first sample, there is 6.46 g lead for every oxygen. In the second sample, there is 2.38 g lead for every oxygen.

Pavlova-9 [17]

Iron metal has a sea of electrons feature. The outside electrons form a sea or pool of delocalized electrons that are free to travel randomly throughout the fixed lattice of positive ions and do not "belong" to any particular atom.

<h3>What is iron metal?</h3>

On the Periodic Table of the Elements, iron is a metal that belongs to Group 8 and is a hard, brittle substance. The most common metal, it is pure form, corrodes quickly when exposed into humid air and high temperatures. Iron is also considered to make up a significant portion of the Earth's core and is the fourth most prevalent metal by weight in the Earth's crust. According to the Los Alamos National Laboratory, it is abundant in the sun and stars in addition to being widely distributed on Earth. According to Jefferson Lab, iron is essential for the survival of all living things.

Answer:

The correct answer is option d.

Explanation:

On submission of an incorrect answer to a multiple-choice question with n options,  we will lose:

=\frac{ 1}{(n-1)} of credit

If we multiple-choice question has five answer choices. And we have submitted 1 wrong answer. the fraction of credit we loose :

=\frac{ 1}{(5-1)} of credit

=\frac{1}{4} of credit

=0.25 credit

The percentage of credit we loose:

=0.25\times 100 of credits
