Saltpeter is a compound made of potassium (k), nitrogen (n), and oxygen (o). every 100.00 g of saltpeter contains 38.67 g potass

ium and 13.86 g nitrogen. what is the mass of oxygen contained in 328.0 mg of saltpeter

First, we need to compute the mass of oxygen found in 100 grams of saltpeter:
mass of oxygen = 100 - (mass of potassium + mass of nitrogen)
                          = 100 - (38.67 + 13.86)
                          = 100 - 52.53
mass of oxygen in 100 grams saltpeter = 47.47 grams

Now, we can use cross multiplication to find the mass of oxygen in 328 grams saltpeter as follows:
mass of oxygen = (328 x 47.47) / 100 = 155.7016 grams

Answer : The mass of oxygen contained is, 0.1557 gram

Solution : Given,

Mass of potassium = 38.67 g

Mass of nitrogen = 13.86 g

First we have to calculate the mass of oxygen contained.

Mass of oxygen contained = 100 - (Mass of potassium + Mass of nitrogen)

Mass of oxygen contained = 100 - (38.67 + 13.86) = 47.47 g

Now we have to calculate the mass of oxygen contained in 328.0 mg or 0.328 g.

(1 g = 1000 mg)

In 100 gram of water, the mass of oxygen contained = 47.47 g

In 0.328 gram of water, the mass of oxygen contained = \frac{47.47}{100}\times 0.328=0.1557g

Therefore, the mass of oxygen contained is, 0.1557 gram

What would happen if the sand dunes in an area were destroyed?
Komok [63]

Answer:

<u>Our beaches would be unprotected</u>

In the short-term, these artificial sand hills will be destroyed by the elements. Because sand dunes protect inland areas from swells, tides, and winds, they must be protected and defended like national treasures. ... The ocean and the wind can have an unpredictable, destructive force on coastal regions.

- surfertoday

Natural sand dunes play a vital role in protecting our beaches, coastline and coastal developments from coastal hazards such as erosion, coastal flooding and storm damage. Sand dunes protect our shorelines from coastal erosion and provide shelter from the wind and sea spray.

Balance of Atoms Quick Check
san4es73 [151]

When iron rusts and forms iron oxide, the iron oxide has more mass than the iron because there are more iron atoms in iron oxide than in pure iron.

The process of rust occurs when pure iron is exposed to air and moisture. Rust is the oxidation of pure iron to iron II oxide (Fe2O3).

We can see that there are two iron atoms per mole of Fe2O3 whereas there is only one iron atom in each mole of pure iron.

Therefore, iron oxide has more mass than the iron because there are more iron atoms in iron oxide than in pure iron.

spayn [35]

Answer:

Explanation:

Information given about the element:

Number of protons = 74

Number of neutrons = 110

For the atomic number:

Neutral atoms such as this one would have their atomic number to be the same with their number of electrons and protons:

     atomic number = number of protons = number of electrons

The atomic number would therefore be 74

For the mass number:

The mass of an atom is centrally concentrated within the tiny nucleus. The mass number is the sum of protons and neutrons in an atom. Protons and neutrons are nuclear particles and are called nucleons:

     Mass number = number of protons + number of neutrons = 74+110=184

Is this a new element?

From the peroidic table, tungsten(W) perfectly fits this description of the atom. It has an atomic number of 74 and a mass number of approximately 184. The element is not a new element.

Is it solid, liquid, or gas?

The element is a hard metallic solid. It is a classified as a transition metal on the periodic table. Transition metals have very unique metals and are mostly solids.
