Why is it better to measure the percent change in mass ratherthan just using the change in mass?

Chemistry

Answer: The result is presented in proportion which gives a clearer understanding and accurate result.

Explanation: Percentage change in mass is the proportion of the initial mass of a substance changed after sometime. The results is presented as a percentage making it more accurate and can help to give future reference to weight calculations.

Change is Mass is the mass of a substance left after sometime mostly given in grams. It is not as accurate as percentage change in mass. It is generally better to show results in percentage change in mass as it gives a better understanding of what mass of a substance was lost after a given period or after application of energy like Heat or increased temperature.

Katyanochek1 [597]

Answer:

a) Percentage by mass of carbon: 18.3%

   Percentage by mass of hydrogen: 0.77%

b)  Percentage by mass of chlorine: 80.37%

c) Molecular formula: C_{2} H Cl_{3}

Explanation:

Firstly, the mass of carbon must be determined by using a conversion factor:

0.872g CO _{2} *\frac{12g C}{44g CO_{2} } = 0.238g CO_{2}

The same process is used to calculate the amount of hydrogen:

0.089g H_{2}O*\frac{2g H}{18g H_{2}O }  = 0.010g H

The percentage by mass of carbon and hydrogen are calculated as follows:

%C\frac{0.238g}{1.3g} *100%= 18.3%

%H\frac{0.010g}{1.3g} *100%=0.77%

From the precipation data it is possible obtain the amount of chlorine present in the compound:

1.75 AgCl*\frac{35.45g Cl}{143.45g AgCl}= 0.43g AgCl

Let's calculate the percentage by mass of chlorine:

%Cl=\frac{0.43g}{0.535g} * 100%= 80.37%

Assuming that we have 100g of the compound, it is possible to determine the number of moles of each element in the compound:

18.3g C*\frac{1mol C}{12g C} = 1.52mol C

0.77g H*\frac{1mol H}{1g H} = 0.77mol H

80.37gCl*\frac{1molCl}{35.45g Cl} = 2.27mol Cl

Dividing each of the quantities above by the smallest (0.77mol), the  subscripts in a tentative formula would be

C=\frac{1.52}{0.77} = 1.97 ≈ 2

H = \frac{0.77}{0.77} = 1

Cl =\frac{2.27}{0.77}=2.94≈3

The empirical formula for the compound is:

C_{2} H Cl_{3}

The mass of this empirical formula is:

mass of C + mass of H + mass of Cl= 24g +1+ 106.35 =131.35g

This mass matches with the molar mass, which means that the supscript in the molecular formula are the same of the empirical one.

Which of the following could you do to increase the strength of an electromagnet? decrease the number of windings decrease the e
IgorLugansk [536]
I believe the most appropriate answer would be to change the core from wood to iron. This is because iron is a magnetic material while wood is not magnetic hence cant acquire magnetism. Other factors that would increase the strength of electromagnet would be; increasing the amount of electric current, and increasing the number of windings.
