The answer is 14 g/mol.

The number of moles (n) is the ratio of mass (m) and molar mass (M):
n = m : M

Step 1. Calculate number of moles of oxygen in the compound.
n = ?
m = 48 g
M = 16 g/mol

n = m/M = 48 g : 16 g/mol = 3 mol


Step 2. Calculate the number of moles of the element X:
5 atoms of oxygen is 3 mol.
2 atoms of element X is x
5 : 3  = 2 :x
x = 2 * 3 / 5 = 6/5 = 1.2 mol

Step 3. Calculate <span>the molar mass of element X
</span>n = 1.2 mol
m = 64.8 g - 48 g = 16.8 g
M = ?

n = m : M
M = m : n
M = 16.8 g : 1.2 mol = 14 g/mol

Alekssandra [29.7K]

Answer:

The answer is 74.5%.

Explanation:

As we know that % yield=  \frac{actual yield}{theoretical yield} x 100%.

Therefore,

Step 1 Calculate Theoretical yield:

0.112H_{2} x   \frac{1 mol H_{2} }{2.016 g of H{2} }    x    \frac{4 mol H_{2}O }{4 mol H_{2} }    x  \frac{18.02 g H_{2}O }{1 mol H_{2}O}   = 1.001 g H_{2}O

Now Step 2

% yield   =  \frac{actual yield}{theoretical yield} x 100% =   \frac{0.745g}{1.001g} = 74.5%

Which are characteristics of medusae?
slavikrds [6]

Answer:

Are sessile, have tentacles, mouths open downwards

Explanation:

Medusae may have many tentacles with which they catch their prey. Sometimes, people bathing in the ocean are touched by a medusa. Their tentacles are long and thin and covered in venomous stinging cells (known as nematocysts). They inject poison which immobilizes small fish. People who are stung should seek medical attention. There have been some deaths after severe medusa stings.
