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%

Darryl finds a bottle of what looks like clear water, with dirt settled at the bottom. When he shakes the bottle, the water gets
Mazyrski [523]

Answer: The correct answer is Heterogeneous mixture

Explanation:

Heterogeneous mixture are those mixture in which:

  • Substance is distributed in non uniform manner.
  • Two distinct layers are formed

Thus when water and dirt are mixed together it results in the formation of  a heterogeneous mixture and after sometimes two different layers will be observed.

Hence, in the bottle there is a heterogeneous mixture of water and dirt.

Ultraviolet radiation and radiation of shorter wavelengths can damage biological molecules because they carry enough energy to b
Alja [10]

Answer:

439.7nm

Explanation:

Energy of a quantum can be calculated using below formula

E=hv...........eqn(1)

But v=λ/ c .........eqn(2)

If we substitute eqn(2) into eqn(1) we have

E= hc/(λ)

Where E= energy

h= Plank's constant= 6.62607004 × 10-34 m2 kg / s

c= speed of light

c= 2.998 × 10^8 m/s

λ= wavelength= ?

But the energy was given in Kj , it must be converted to Kj/ photon for unit consistency.

Energy E= 272 kJ/mol × 1mol/6.02× 10^23

Energy= 451.83× 10^-24 Kj/ photon

E= hc/(λ)...........eqn(1)

If we make λ subject of the formula

λ= hc/E

Then substitute the values we have

λ= [(6.626 × 10^-34) × (2.998 × 10^8)]/451.83× 10^-24

λ=(0.00043965) × (1Kj/1000J) × (10^9nm/1m)

λ=439.7nm

Hence, the longest wavelength of radiation with enough energy to break carbon-sulfur bonds is 439.7nm
