Use a proportion ... 
<span>100.0g - 38.67g - 13.86g = 47.47g Oxygen </span>
<span>285.0 mg = 0.285g </span>
<span>47.47/100 = x/0.285g </span>
<span>x = ( 47.47/100) X 0.285g </span>

Part A:
uranmaximum [27]

Answer:

Part A = The mass of sulfur is 6.228 grams

Part B = The mass of 1 silver atom is 1.79 * 10^-22 grams

Explanation:

Part A

Step 1: Data given

A mixture of carbon and sulfur has a mass of 9.0 g

Mass of the product = 27.1 grams

X = mass carbon

Y = mass sulfur

x + y = 9.0  grams

x = 9.0 - y

x(molar mass CO2/atomic mass C) + y(molar mass SO2/atomic mass S) = 22.6

(9 - y)*(44.01/12.01) + y(64.07/32.07)

(9-y)(3.664) + y(1.998)

32.976 - 3.664y + 1.998y = 22.6

-1.666y = -10.376

y = 6.228 = mass sulfur

x = 9.0 - 6.228 = 2.772 grams = mass C

The mass of sulfur is 6.228 grams

Part B

Calculate the mass, in grams, of a single silver atom (mAg = 107.87 amu ).

Calculate moles of 1 silver atom

Moles = 1/ 6.022*10^23

Moles = 1.66*10^-24 moles

Mass = moles * molar mass

Mass = 1.66*10 ^-24 moles *107.87

Mass = 1.79 * 10^-22 grams

The mass of 1 silver atom is 1.79 * 10^-22 grams

Answer:

F = 30 N

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of toy train = 1.5 kg

Acceleration of train = 20 m/s²

Amount of force acting on it = ?

Solution:

The net force on object is equal to the its mass multiply by its acceleration.

Formula:

F = ma

F = force

m = mass

a = acceleration

Now we will put the values in formula.

F = 1.5 kg × 20ms⁻²

F = 30 kg.ms⁻²

kg.ms⁻² = N

F = 30 N
