Answer:

Sn = 78.77%

O = 21.23%

Explanation:

The atomic mass of Sn = 118.71 g/mol

The atomic mass of O = 16 g/mol

The molar mass of SnO₂ = atomic mass of Sn + 2 X atomic mass of O

The molar mass of SnO₂= 150.71

Now, in each mole of SnO₂ there is one mole of Sn and two moles of O

The mass of Sn in 150.71 g of SnO₂ = 118.71

Percentage of Sn in 150.71 g of SnO₂ = \frac{MassofSnX100}{massofSnO_{2} }

% of Sn = \frac{118.71X100}{150.71}=78.77%.

Rest will be O = 100-78.77 = 21.23%

Atomic mass of Sn = 118.71 amu. Atomic mass of O = 15.99 amu,
∴ <span>percent composition by mass of Sn =
   atomic mass of Sn x 100/molar mass of SnO2 = 118.71 x 100/150.69
                                                                             = 78.77%
</span>percent composition by mass of O = 15.99 x 100/150.69 = 10.61%

<h2>What is chemical binding?</h2>

Chemical bonding helps to joining atoms or molecules together. It is also helps molecules of the same or different substance to get together through joining to each other . Solid , liquid, or gaseous matter can exist in the nature due to chemical bonding .

<h3>How Chemical bonds are formed?</h3>

Bonds form when atoms share or transfer valence electrons. Valence electrons are the electrons in the outer energy level of an atom that may be involved in chemical interactions. Valence electrons are the basis of all chemical bonds.

There are two primary kinds of chemical bonds that keep atoms together:

  1. Covalent
  2. Electrovalent/ionic bonds.

Covalent bonds have atoms which share electrons in a chemical bond.

Ionic bonds are formed by the of atoms that have opposite charges

  • Sodium chloride, or NaCl, is an example of an ionic bond.

  • Another example of an ionic bond is found in lithium fluoride (LiF). Lithium has one electron in its outer shell, and fluorine has seven electrons in its outer shell.

How many cobalt atoms are in 2 moles of cobalt?
Hunter-Best [27]

That means that one mole of cobalt weighs 58.9332 grams (58.9332 g/mol). Based on that information, to convert 2 moles of cobalt to grams, we multiply 2 moles of cobalt by 58.9332.

Remical Reactions 8.P.13 1 8 of 40
ruslelena [56]

Answer:

H₂O + CO₂      →    H₂CO₃

Option D is correct.

Law of conservation of mass:

According to this law, mass can neither be created nor destroyed in a chemical equation.

This law was given by French chemist  Antoine Lavoisier in 1789. According to this law mass of reactant and mass of product must be equal, because masses are not created or destroyed in a chemical reaction.

Now we will apply this law to given chemical equations:

A) H₂ + O₂   →    H₂O

There are two H and two O atoms present on left side while on right side only one O and two H atoms are present so mass in not conserved. This option is incorrect.

B) Mg + HCl   →   H₂ + MgCl₂

In this equation one Mg, one H and one Cl atoms are present on left side of equation while on right side two H, one Mg and two chlorine atoms are present. This equation also not follow the law of conservation of mass.

C) KClO₃      →     KCl + O₂

There are one K, one Cl and three O atoms are present on left side of equation while on right side one K one Cl and two oxygen atoms are present. This equation also not following the law of conservation of mass.

D)  H₂O + CO₂      →    H₂CO₃

There are two hydrogen, one carbon and three oxygen atoms are present on both side of equation thus, mass remain conserved. This option is correct.
