<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 is the frequency of a photon with an energy of 3.26 x 10-19 J?
Kobotan [32]

Answer:

B.

from \: eisteins \: energy \: relation :  \\ E = hf  \\ h \: is \: plancks \: constant\\ 3.26 \times  {10}^{ - 19}  = 6.63 \times  {10}^{ - 34 }  \times f \\ f =  \frac{3.26 \times  {10}^{ - 19} }{6.63 \times  {10}^{ - 34} }  \\ f = 4.92 \times  {10}^{14}  \: Hz

What mass of NH3 can be made from 35.0g of N2?
egoroff_w [7]
Formation of ammonia by nitrogen and hydrogen is habers process wher 28g N2 results in formation of 34g NH3
so 35g N2 will form 34*35/28=42.5g NH3 where it given that reaction takes place in excess of H2
N2+3H2 gives 2NH3

Classify the following substituents according to whether they are electron donors or electron acceptors relative to hydrogen by
igor_vitrenko [27]

Species that have a lone pair of electrons often donate electrons by resonance while substituents that are electron deficient take away electrons by resonance.

<h3>What is resonance?</h3>

The term resonace has to do with the movement of electron pairs in a molecule. Inductive effects has to do with the drawing of electron density towards an atom or bond.

The two effects depends on the nature of a substituent. For instance, species that have a lone pair of electrons often donate electrons by resonance while substituents that are electron deficient take away electrons by resonance.

The question is incomplete hence the exact nature of the substituents can not be determined.

What is the empirical formula of a compound composed of 30.5 g potassium (k) and 6.24 g oxygen (o)?
VLD [36.1K]
K5O2

convert grams to moles, divide both by the smallest mole mass, multiply that until hole.

30.5 g K ÷ 39.10 = .78 mol
6.24 g O ÷ 16 = .39 mol
.78 mol ÷ .39 mol = 2.5
.39 mol ÷ .39 mol = 1
2.5 x 2 = 5
1 x 2 = 2
K5O2
