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

John rings a doorbell.
Kamila [148]

Answer:

<u>Yes</u>

Explanation:

Remember, <u>Newton's third law of motion;</u> which says in part that <em>"Every action has an equal and opposite reaction."</em>

Hence, in this case, the fact that the doorbell rang out implies that there was another force that was exerted on it; which is, John's finger pressing the doorbell.

In other words, when John uses his fingers to press the doorbell button he applies a force (a mechanical force), and that force results in an opposite reaction; the ringing of the doorbell.

Which of these 2A elements has the largest atomic radius?
olya-2409 [2.1K]

Answer: Option (E) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

When we move from top to bottom in a group then there occurs an increase in atomic size of the atoms due to increase in the number of electrons.

For example, in group 2A elements beryllium is the smallest in size whereas radium being at the bottom is the largest in size.

Also, atomic number of beryllium is 4 and atomic number of radium is 88.

Thus, we can conclude that out of the given options radium is the 2A element which has the largest atomic radius.

Protozoan infection is not likely to be transmitted by:
anygoal [31]
Hi! 

The answer is breathing.

Protozoans are organisms that can multiply themselves in humans, and serious infections can develop from one organism. The most frequently transmission methods are contaminated food or fecal contact. Dog bites inoculate bacteria into deep tissue, and they also serve as a transmission method.

Breathing
is not considered to be likely to transmit protozoan infection because protozoans rarely develop in the respiratory tract.

Compare the appearance and pH of the unfiltered and filtered polluted water. What conclusion can be made based on these observat
Goryan [66]

Answer:

The unfiltered polluted water is not clear and is yellowish in color. The filtered polluted water is clear with a little bit of yellow color. The pH readings are beyond the range in which organisms can grow. Based on these observations, I can conclude that even though water may look clean, it could actually not be clean or it can still be harmful to living things.

Which of the following bonds is least reactive?<br><br> C—C<br> H—H<br> O—H<br> H—Cl
valentinak56 [21]
The correct option is H - H
Compare to other type of bonds given above, the hydrogen to hydrogen bond is very unreactive. This is because the bond is very stable. Each of the hydrogen atom in the bond donate their single electron to form a covalent bond, which is quite stable.
