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%

The carbon cycle is closely linked to which process?
ser-zykov [4K]

Answer:

Photosynthesis

Explanation:

Carbon cycle involves the exchange of components between the hydrosphere, biosphere and atmosphere. During carbon cycle, materials such as gases, minerals which are necessary for life are interchange. For example, animals pass out faeces on the soil which is rich in urea. Urea decomposes to provide nitrogen into the soil through bioactive bacterials. The nitrogen is used up by plants to grow. During photosynthesis, plants uses carbon dioxide and water to produce glucose and release oxygen for animals to use. It's like a purification system where one waste product from one organism is used by the other to survive.

Equation of photosynthesis

6CO₂ + 6H₂O → C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂.

what happens when a gas obtained by heating Ammonium Chloride and slaked lime are passed through copper sulphate ?​
gogolik [260]

Answer:

Consequently, what happens when gas obtained by heating slaked lime and ammonium chloride is passed through copper sulphate solution? The HCl in the gas mixture will form hydrochloric and the H+ will react with some of the NH3(aq), forming NH4^+, and with some of the SO4^2-, forming HSO4^-.
