<span>44.4% by weight
   Percent composition is the percent by mass in a composition. Since this problem states "combines completely", I will assume that both reactants are fully consumed and that the resulting product has the combined mass of both reactants. If that's the case, then we simply divide the mass of sulfur by the mass of the compound. So: X = 12.0/(12.0 + 15.0) = 12.0/27.0 = 0.444444 = 44.4%</span>

<span>The percent composition of s in the compound is 44.4%.
</span>
No. of grams of ca = 15
no. of grams of S = 12
<span>percent composition of s in the compound = 12/(15 + 12) x 100
= 12/27 x 100
= 0.44 x 100
= 44.4%</span>

What element is this? How do you know?
postnew [5]

Atom is the most basic unit of matter. They are the general term used to describe pieces of matter. But a different kind of atom makes up an element.  A combination of atom of different elements creates a molecule. For example, you have water; it has a chemical formula of H2O. If you separate H from O, you have two atoms. Two atoms for hydrogen and one atom for oxygen. However, they are of different elements. And when you combine them to form H2O, you create a molecule.

why mixture of stone pebbles And water is concerned considered suspension you are provided with a mixture of sand salt and camph
baherus [9]

Answer:

camphor sublimates salt is soluble in water while sand does not sublime and does not dissolve in water you first heat the mixture in a beaker covered with a watch glass camphor will then accumulate on the watch glass then you dissolve the remaining mixture of sand and salt salt will dissolve forming a salt solution then you filter using a filter paper and a beaker the residue on the filter paper is sand while the filtrate is salt solution you then heat the salt solution so that it can evaporate leaving salt particles thus you will have obtained salt sand and camphor

8. A 220 mL sample of helium gas is in a cylinder with a movable piston at 105 kPa and 275K. The piston
Harrizon [31]

The sample has a new pressure of 274kPa. If at 105 kPa and 275K, a 220 mL sample of helium gas is contained in a cylinder with a moving piston. The sample is pushed till it has a 95.0 mL volume and 310K .

The macroscopic characteristics of ideal gases are related by the ideal gas law (PV = nRT). A gas is considered to be perfect if its particles (a) do not interact with one another and (b) occupy no space (have no volume). Where P= pressure  V= volume and T = temperature.

From ideal gas equation

P₁V₁/T₁ =P₂V₂/T₂

105×220÷275 = P₂ ×95÷310

P₂= (105×220×310)÷(275×95)

P2= 7161000/26125

P2 = 274.105 kPa

Hence, the new pressure of helium gas is 274kPa

Explain and describe how the photoelectric effect occurs on an atomic level in terms of protons, neutrons, and electrons
grin007 [14]

Answer:

The photoelectric effect is the emission of electrons when electromagnetic radiation, such as light, hits a material. Electrons emitted in this manner are called photoelectrons.

Based on the wave model of light, physicists predicted that increasing light amplitude would increase the kinetic energy of emitted photoelectrons, while increasing the frequency would increase measured current.
