I believe it is the dependent variable b/c it is the thing(s) that is been observe or measure
This may seem confusing because they give you two masses, but all you have to do is pick one to do the calculations. Personally, I would pick O2, since the molar mass is easier to calculate. The answer would be 3.3 g (rounded for sig figs). To get this, first take the 5.9 grams of O2 and convert it to moles by dividing by the molar mass of oxygen gas, which is 32. Then, multiply both by the mole-mole ratio, which is 2:2, or simply 1:1. After that, multiply that by 18g, which is the molar mass of water to get grams of water.
REMEMBER, you have to write and balance the chemical equation before you can do any of that work.
That happens to be CH4 + 2O2 => CO2 + 2H2O
<span>1.18 x 3 = 3.55 </span>
find ratio of F to F in each compound
. according to law of multiple proportions that the masses of one element which combine with a fixed mass of the second element are in a ratio of whole numbers.
now F is "one element" and S has "fixed mass",
the ratio of F6 to Fx = 3:1
<span>thats why x= 2
there is less F in SFx
the ratio is 3:1.
dividing 6 by 3 and you get 2</span>
Answer:
The gain in mass by the negative electrode is the same as the loss in mass by the positive electrode. So the copper deposited on the negative electrode must be the same copper ions that are lost from the positive electrode.
