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

Acetylsalicylic acid (C9H8O4) is a monoprotic acid commonly known as aspirin. A typical aspirin tablet, however, contains only a
pashok25 [27]

Answer:

6 grains

Explanation:

The equation of the reaction between NaOH and aspirin is;

C9H8O4(aq) + NaOH (aq) ------>C9H7O4Na(aq) + H2O(l)

Amount of NaOH reacted = concentration × volume = 0.1466 M × 14.40/1000 L = 2.11 × 10^-3 moles

Given that aspirin and NaOH react in a mole ratio of 1:1 from the balanced reaction equation above, the number of moles of aspirin reacted is 2.11 × 10^-3 moles

Hence mass of aspirin reacted = 2.11 × 10^-3 moles × 180.2 g/mol = 0.38 g

If 1 grain = 0.0648 g

x grains = 0.38 g

x= 0.38 g/0.0648 g

x= 6 grains

Draw it draw lewis dot structures for each hypothetical molecule shown below, using the correct number of valence electrons for
soldi70 [24.7K]

The first molecule is a sensible molecule having complete octet of each atom such as C, H and O whereas the second molecule having hydrogen present between the aldehyde and methyl group and thus showing hydrogen is making bond with aldehyde and methyl as well which is not possible because hydrogen only having one electron in its octet due to which it can only form a single bond by sharing its valence electron.

A man weighing 75 kg takes 5 minutes to reach a height of 5 m when he climbs a staircase. What is his power?
Naddika [18.5K]

Answer: B. 12.25 W

please give brainliest!

Explanation:

1) Force = Weight = 75 x 9.8 = 735 N

2.)Work = Force x Height = 735 x 5 = 3675 J

3.)Power = Work / Time = 3675 / (5 x 60) = 12.25 W
