<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>

How do particles in matter change when a substance becomes hotter, cool down, or changes state?
Nana76 [90]

Answer:

When heat is added to a substance, the molecules and atoms vibrate faster. As atoms vibrate faster, the space between atoms increases. The motion and spacing of the particles determines the state of matter of the substance. The end result of increased molecular motion is that the object expands and takes up more space.

hope this helps!!!!!!

Hydrochloric acid reacts with calcium to form hydrogen and calcium chloride. if 100 grams of hydrochloric acid reacts with 100 g
natita [175]
The balanced chemical reaction is:

2HCl + Ca = CaCl2 + H2

We are given the amount of the reactants to be used for the reaction. These values will be the starting point of our calculations.

100 g HCl ( 1 mol HCl / 36.46 g HCl ) = 2.74 mol HCl

100 g Ca ( 1 mol Ca / 40.08 g ) = 2.08 mol Ca

From the reaction, the mole ratio of the reactants is 2:1 where every 2 moles of hydrochloric acid, 1 mole of calcium is required. Therefore, the limiting reactant for this case is calcium.
