Answer:

Explanation:
Hello,
In this case, for the sample of the given compound, we can compute the moles of each atom (carbon, hydrogen and oxygen) that is present in the sample as shown below:
- Moles of carbon are contained in the 9.582 grams of carbon dioxide:

- Moles of hydrogen are contained in the 3.922 grams of water:

- Mass of oxygen is computed by subtracting both the mass of carbon and hydrogen in carbon dioxide and water respectively from the initial sample:

Finally, we compute the percent by mass of oxygen:

Regards.
Why do molecules combined into chains?
1) The more mass is the more entropy , because there are more particles, there is disorder.
2) Than higher temperature --- the more entropy.
3) Gas has more disorder than liquid, so gas has more entropy.
So, correct answer is E.
The answer is yes. A chemical change occurred.
Chemical change is defined as the rearrangement or alteration in the of atoms in one or more substance which result in the formation of a new substance.
In the above, you mixed two clear liquids and the result was a new substance which is a colored solid precipitate at the bottom of the beaker.
This means that changes in the atoms of the two clear liquids occurred leading to the formation of this new solid substance.
This means that chemical change has occurred.
Hope this helps :)
