No, the percent by mass of each element in compound does not depend on the amount of element used to make the compound

The mass percent of each element in a compound is by definition, the compound's percent composition. 100% of the compound is represented by the molar mass. the composition of the elements is fixed in each compound. according do law of multiple proportions different compounds may be formed with same elements but in different proportions.so percent by mass of each element does not depend on amount of element used to make compound

What volume of a 4.0 M stock solution of HNO3 is needed to prepare 4.5 L of a 2.5 M HNO3 solution? 1.8 L 2.2 L 2.8 L 7.2 L
ololo11 [35]
Equation for a dilution :

C₁ x V₁ = C₂ x V₂

4.0 x V₁ =  2.5 x 4.5

4.0 x V₁ = 11.25

V₁ = 11.25 / 4.0

V₁ = 2.8 L

hope this helps!

A 50-mL beaker only has a scale that measures 10, 20, 30, and 40 mL. What is the uncertainty associated with the 50 mL beaker.
Juliette [100K]
If the uncertainty of a certain measurement instrument is not given, then it is assumed to be equal to half of the least count of that instrument. In this case, the least count is 10 ml, so half of this is 5 ml. Therefore, the graduated cylinder has an uncertainty of +/- 5 ml

A three-step mechanism has been suggested for the formation of carbonyl chloride: Step 1: Cl2 → 2 Cl Step 2: Cl + CO → COCl Step
ladessa [460]

Answer:

COCl species is an intermediate in the mechanism.

Explanation:

Intermediates are those chemical species which only appears for a short time in a course of a chemical reaction. They act as product and reactant during the reaction. Also they do not appear in overall chemical reaction.

Step 1: Cl_2\rightarrow 2 Cl

Step 2: Cl + CO\rightarrow COCl

Step 3: COCl + Cl_2\rightarrow COCl_2 + Cl

Overall reaction :

2Cl_2+CO\rightarrow COCl_2+2Cl

As we can see that all the chemicals are present in the overall reaction beside COCl.

COCl species is an intermediate in the mechanism.

What is the mass of carbon dioxide formed when 36g of carbon is burnt?<br> C+O2 -------&gt;C02
Anestetic [448]

Answer:

Mass = 132 g

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of CO₂ formed = ?

Mass of C burnt = 36 g

Solution:

Chemical equation:

C + O₂    →    CO₂

Number of moles of carbon:

Number of moles = mass/molar mass

Number of moles = 36 g/ 12 g/mol

Number of moles = 3 mol

now we will compare the moles of carbon and carbon dioxide.

                C           :        CO₂

                 1           :         1

                3           :         3

Mass of CO₂:

Mass = number of moles × molar mass

Mass = 3 mol × 44 g/mol

Mass = 132 g
