Answer: The percentages of carbon and hydrogen numerically to four significant figures is 83.33\% and 16.67\% respectively.

Explanation:

Molar mass of the compound is the mass of 1 mole of compound which is the sum of masses of each element.

Mass of 1 mole of compound= mass of carbon + mass of hydrogen+ = 5(12) + 12(1)= 72 g.

a) Percentage by mass of carbon =\frac{\text {mass of carbon}}{\text {Total mass}}\times 100\ %

Percentage by mass of carbon =\frac{60}{72}\times 100\%=83.33\%

b) Percentage by mass of hydrogen =\frac{\text {mass of hydrogen}}{\text {Total mass}}\times 100\ %

Percentage by mass of hydrogen =\frac{12}{72}\times 100\%=16.67\%

Heterogeneous non example
Bogdan [553]

Heterogeneous 'mixtures' (because they don't meet the definition  of mixtures) are mixtures substances that aren't completely uniformly spread out. They haven't reacted with the solvent to become a solution.

Explanation: There are 2 types of heterogeneous solutions, A Colloid and a suspension.

Colloid: You can check if a mixture is heterogeneous by passing a light ray through it. This may cause the Tyndall effect (If the mixture is a colloid) when the Colloidal Heterogeneous mixture's particles are so small that they refract the beam of light and the path of light will be visible, like if you add 3 drops of milk in a glass of Water and shine a laser light through it. This is because the particles are too small to be seen by the unaided eye but big enough to scatter you laser light. However that particles won't settle down or will be separated by a filter paper due to particles' small size.

Suspension: A solution will be a solution when the particles of the Mixture is big enough to be seen by the unaided eye. Like if you mix sand and Water, the sand will eventually settle down due to Gravity. The mixture's solute will be big enough to pass through a filter paper.

Determine the amount in grams of kcl that exists in 20.3 g of a solution that contains 1.14 % KCI by mass.
artcher [175]

Answer:

0.23 g

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Mass of solution = 20.3 g

Percentage by mass of KCl = 1.14%

Mass of KCl =?

The mass of KCl in the solution can be obtained as follow:

Percentage by mass = mass of solute / mass of solution × 100

1.14% = mass of KCl / 20.3

Cross multiply

Mass of KCl = 1.14% × 20.3

Mass of KCl = 1.14/100 × 20.3

Mass of KCl = 0.0114 × 20.3

Mass of KCl = 0.23 g

Therefore, the mass of KCl in the solution is 0.23 g
