The Mass of oxygen in isolated sample is 8.6 g

<h3>What is the Law of Constant composition?</h3>

The law of constant composition states that pure samples of the same compound contain the same element in the same ratio by mass irrespective of the source from which the compound is obtained.

Considering the given ascorbic acid samples:

Laboratory sample contains 1.50 gg of carbon and 2.00 gg of oxygen

mass ratio of oxygen to carbon is 2 : 1.5

Isolated sample will contain 2/1.5 * 6.45 g of oxygen.

Mass of oxygen in isolated sample = 8.6 g

In conclusion, the mass of oxygen is determined from the mass ratio of oxygen and carbon in the compound.

Note that the complete question is given below:

A sample of ascorbic acid (vitamin C) is synthesized in the laboratory. It contains 1.50 g of carbon and 2.00 g of oxygen. Another sample of ascorbic acid isolated from citrus fruits contains 6.45 gg of carbon. According to the law of constant composition, how many grams of oxygen does this isolated sample contain?

Express the answer in grams to three significant figures.

8.47 g

Explain how water behaves in this reaction. Which definition of acids and bases would you apply?

mafiozo [28]

Water behaves as a base in this reaction.

The Bronsted-Lowry definition is applied, because the reaction involves the transfer of H+ from one reactant to the other.

A Bronsted-Lowry base is defined as a substance that accepts a proton.

Because water gains a proton to form H3O+ in this particular reaction, it acts as a base

Acetonitrile (CH3CN) is a polar organic solvent that dissolves a wide range of solutes, including many salts. The density of a 1

erastovalidia [21]

Answer:

a. [LiBr] = 2.70 m

b. Xm for LiBr = 0.1

c. 81% by mass CH₃CN

Explanation:

Solvent → Acetonitrile (CH₃CN)

Solute → LiBr, lithium bromide

We convert the moles of solute to mass → 1.80 mol . 86.84 g/1 mol = 156.3 g

This mass of solute is contained in 1L of solution

1 L = 1000 mL → 1mL = 1cm³

We determine solution mass by density

Solution density = Solution mass / Solution volume

Solution density . Solution volume = solution mass

0.824 g/cm³ . 1000 cm³ = 824 g

Mass of solution = 824 g (solvent + solute)

Mass of solute = 156.3 g

Mass of solvent = 824 g - 156.3 g = 667.7 g

Molality → Moles of solute in 1kg of solvent

We convert the mass of solvent from g to kg → 667.7 g . 1kg /1000g = 0.667 kg

Mol/kg → 1.80 mol / 0.667 kg = 2.70 m → molality

Mole fraction → Mole of solute / Total moles (moles solute + moles solvent)

Moles of solvent → 667.7 g . 1mol/ 41g = 16.3 moles

Total moles = 16.3 + 1.8 = 18.1

Mole fraction Li Br → 1.80 moles / 18.1 moles = 0.1

Mass percentage → (Mass of solvent, <u>in this case</u> / Total mass) . 100

<u>We were asked for the acetonitrile</u> → (667.7 g / 824 g) . 100 = 81%

Does The nucleus of an atom contain all of the protons in the atom

insens350 [35]

Answer:

The nucleus, that dense central core of the atom, contains both protons and neutrons.

So to answer your question yes it does contain all of the protons in the atom.

In a heat engine, 700 J of heat enters the system, and the piston does 400 J of work. What is the final internal (thermal) energ

Vitek1552 [10]

The first law of thermodynamics characterises the two types of energy transfer, as heat and as thermodynamic. The final internal (thermal) energy of the system is 1,500 J.

<h3>What is internal energy?</h3>

The energy present in a system itself for conducting reactions is called internal energy.
