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.

In order to properly measure the displacement, the object must be completely submerged, however in the diagram the wood is floating. So the measured displacement will only be a fraction of what it actually is.

maria [59]
The compound NaCI is an example of a salt. Salt is formed from a neutralization action of an acid and a base. From the type of reaction itself, we can say that the pH should be neutral or at pH 7.0. No matter what type of acid or base is used.

Which experimental setup would let a student investigate the connection between kinetic energy and temperature? (1 point) placin
Maslowich

Answer:

The correct option is;

Placing one drop of food coloring in a cup with 60 ml of water at 10°, placing one drop of food coloring in a second cup with 60 ml of water at 40°C

Explanation:

The experimental setup that would allow the student investigate the connection between kinetic energy and temperature should be made up of the following characteristics

1) The constant terms for the experiment should be defined, which in this case are

a) The volume of the water which is 60 ml in both subjects of the experiment

2) The definition of the variable that produces the effect that is being monitored, which is the use of the different temperatures in the two experimental subjects

3)The environmental limits of the experiment, which is the water and the food coloring used
