Answer:

Weight of element X = 14.01 gram

Explanation:

Mass percentage is calculated by using :

Percent =\frac{Mass\ of\ element}{Total\ mass}\times 100

O\ Percent=\frac{Mass\ of\ O}{Total\ mass\ of\ XO2}\times 100

Mass of O = 16.0 gram

let mass of X = X grams = ?

Mass of XO2 = mass of X + 2(mass of O)

Mass of XO2 = X + 2(16)

Mass of XO2 = X + 32

Total mass of O in the compound = 2(16) = 32 grams

Percent O = 69.55 %

Percent\ O =\frac{Mass\ of\ O}{Total\ mass\ of\ XO2}\times 100

69.55=\frac{32}{X+32}\times 100

\frac{69.55}{100}=\frac{32}{X+32}

0.6955=\frac{32}{X+32}

0.6955\times (X+32)=32

0.6955X+ 22.256=32

0.6955X=9.744

X=\frac{9.744}{0.6955}

X =14.01

weight of element X = 14.01 gram

14.01 is mass of nitrogen N

The correct formula of this element is NO2

The compound ncl3 is nitrogen trichloride, but alcl3 is simply aluminum chloride. why
AveGali [126]
The answer to this question would be:
NCl3 is a molecular compound (two or more nonmetals), and therefore in its name prefixes indicate the number of each type of atom. so NCl3 is nitrogen trichloride<span>.
</span><span>The compound AlCl3 is an ionic compound (metal and nonmetal), and therefore does not require prefixes. so AlCl3 is aluminum chloride.
</span><span>
Both of nitrogen and chlorine is nonmetal, but aluminum is metal. Metal with nonmetal will make an ionic compound that doesn't need prefixes.</span>

kykrilka [37]

Aqueous solutions of barium nitrate and potassium phosphate are mixed. What is the precipitate and how many molecules are formed?

Barium nitrate has a chemical symbol of Ba(NO3)2 and potassium phosphate has a chemical symbol K2PO4. The reaction between these two is a double replacement reaction yielding barium phosphate and potassium nitrate.

The chemical equation representing the reaction is,

            Ba(NO3)2 + K2PO4 à KNO3 + BaPO4
