To obey the Law of Conservation of Mass, the sum of all individual elements of a compound is equal to the mass of the compound. So, if HCN has a mass of 7.83 grams, then

7.83 g = mass of H + mass of C + mass of N

We know the masses of H and N to be 0.290 g and 4.06 g, respectively. Hence, we can find for the mass of C:

7.83 = 0.29 + mass of C + 4.06
mass of C = 3.48 g

As an extension to the Law of Conservation of Mass, there is also a Law of Definite Proportions. According to Dalton's atomic theory, a compound is formed from a fixed ratio of its individual elements. From our previous calculations, we know that the mass ratio of H to C to N is 0.29 g: 3.48 g:4.06 grams. The ratio could also be expressed in percentages. Let's find the mass percentage of Carbon in HCN to be used later:

mass % of Carbon = (3.48 g/7.83 g)*100
mass % of Carbon = 44.44%

So, if you collect a different mass of HCN, say 3.37 g, the corresponding mass of Carbon is equal to:

Mass of Carbon = (3.37)(44.44%)
Mass of Carbon = 1.498 g

mariarad [96]

Answer:

4, 16,

Explanation:

SI2 is sulphur diiodide. Sulphur is in group sixteen (six valence electrons) while iodine is in group 17(seven valence electrons).

Since there are two iodine atoms and one sulphur atom, the molecule has twenty valence electrons. Out of these twenty valence electrons, only four are bonding electrons. The other sixteen electrons include the four nonbonding electrons found on sulphur and the twelve non bonding electrons found on the two iodine atoms having six nonbonding electrons each.

The state of matter with a specific volume but no definite shape is the _____ state.
bagirrra123 [75]

The state of matter with a specific volume but no definite shape is the <u>Liquid</u> state.

<u>Explanation:</u>

There are three states of matter according to chemical science: Solid, Liquid and Gas. There is not much space in among the molecules. The particles in a liquid are free to float, so while a liquid has a certain volume it has no definite form. Liquids are composed of atoms or molecules bound by inter molecular bonds.

Most of the liquids resist compression while some do not, unlike a gas, a liquid will not spread to fill any container room and will retain a fairly constant density. A characteristic liquid state property is surface tension that results to wetting phenomena. Water is perhaps the most frequent substance on Earth.
