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

Addition reactions of alkenes are characterized by _________. A) formation of a bond B) addition of two groups across a double b
mr_godi [17]

Answer:

B. ADDITION OF TWO GROUPS ACROSS A DOUBLE BOND

Explanation:

Addition reaction of alkenes involves the conversion of the double bond in alkenes Inyo single bonds by the addition of two groups of atoms or radicals.

During this addition reaction, two substances, an unsaturated compound(e.g. ethane) and an attacking reagent (hydrogen, halogens, hydrogen halides, chlorine and bromine water) combines to form a single new compound without forming any other products. So a saturated product or one in which is an increase in degree of saturation is formed.

Provide one example of how life on Earth would not be possible without water based on its characteristics.
snow_lady [41]

Answer: ice is less dense than liquid water. If ice was more dense, Earth would freeze.

Explanation: There are many reasons why life on Earth depends on the characteristics of water. One could discuss hydrogen bonds and its role as a solvent, but the unusual property of water is is the change in density with change in temperature. Water is densest at 4 degC, which is why ice floats - it is less dense than cold water (it melts quickly in warm water, so density isn’t impotant at higher temperatures). Most liquids are less dense than the solid, frozen form. If this was the case with water, any ice that formed would sink, and sease would freeze from the bottom up. Furthermore, the lowest layers would be insulated and would not all melt in summer. Thus over time, the seas would become a thin layer of liquid water at best, over solid ice. Life could not develop without liquid seas. In addition, ice is reflective, reducing the amount of sunlight absorbed, further reducing temperatures. Without ocean circulation, polar areas would be even colder, and there would be no rain.

Juan inflates a balloon and then releases its end to let the balloon go free as air comes out. The balloon then flies around the
MArishka [77]
Here is the correct option: According to Newton's third law of motion, the balloon is pushed forward as the air is forced out.  Newton's third law of motion states that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. This means that in every interaction, there is a pair of force that is acting on the interacting objects, the size of the force on the first object is equal to the size of the force on the second object.

Jill then wrote the formulas for all the possible compounds that sodium can form with the other ions. What formulas did she writ
sp2606 [1]

Explanation:

Sodium has atomic number of 11 and its electronic configuration is given by:

[Na]=1s^22s^22p^63s^1

The nearest stable electronic configuration to sodium is of the neon. So, in order to attain stability of noble gas it will loose its single electron.

Na\rightarrow Na^++1e^-

[Na^+]=1s^22s^22p^63s^0

Sodium has single valency that is 1.

Let nbe the valency of the ion 'X'

By criss-cross method, the oxidation state of the ions gets exchanged and they form the subscripts of the other ions. This results in the formation of a neutral compound.

Na_nX_1

So, the formulas for all the possible compounds that sodium can form with the other ions will be:

Na_nX_1

The rate law for the decomposition of phosphine () is It takes 135. s for 1.00 M to decrease to 0.250 M. How much time is requir
vova2212 [387]

Answer:

189.71 secs

Explanation:

We know that decomposition is a first order reaction;

So;

ln[A] = ln[A]o - kt

But;

[A]o = 1.00 M

[A] = 0.250 M

t =135 s

Hence;

ln[A] -  ln[A]o = kt

k = ln[A] -  ln[A]o/t

k = ln(1) - ln(0.250)/135

k =0 - (-1.386)/135

k = 1.386/135

k= 0.01

So time taken now will be;

ln[A] -  ln[A]o = kt

t = ln[A] -  ln[A]o/k

t = ln (3) - ln(0.450)/0.01

t = 1.0986 - (-0.7985)/0.01

t = 1.0986 + 0.7985/0.01

t = 189.71 secs
