What information is needed to calculate the percent composition of a compound

Chemistry

Percent Composition by Mass. Percent composition is calculated from a molecular formula by dividing the mass of a single element in one mole of a compound by the mass of one mole of the entire compound. This value is presented as a percentage.

The best answer. :)

Answer:

Molecular formula, molecular mass and the mass of each element in the molecule.

Explanation:

Percent Composition by Mass is the percentile of each element present in a molecule.

It is calculated by dividing the molar mass of a element  by the molecule molar mass, multiplied by 100

Eg the mass percent compositionof carbon in carbon dioxide is 27.27%

Molecular formula: CO2

Molecular Mass: 44g/mol

C molar mass: 12g/mol

O molar mass: 16g/mol

Percent_{carbon} =\frac{12}{44}*100=27.27

What would be the total volume of the new solution when it is changed from 0.2 M to 0.04 M?
34kurt
The question is incomplete.

You need two additional data:

1) the original volume
2) what solution you added to change the volume.

This is a molarity problem, so remember molarity definition and formula:

M = n / V in liters: number of moles per liter of solution

To give you the key to answer this kind of questions, supppose the original volumen was 1 ml and that you added only water (solvent).

The original solution was:

V= 1 ml
M = 0.2 M

Using the formula for molarity, M = n / V

n = M×V = 0.2 M × (1 / 10000)l = 0.0002 moles

For the final solution:

n = 0.0002 moles
M = 0.04

From M = n / V ⇒ V = n / M = 0.002 moles / 0.04 M = 0.05 l

Change to ml ⇒ 0.05 l × 1000 ml / l = 50 ml.  This would be the answer for the hypothetical problem that I assumed for you.

I hope this gives you all the cues you need to answer similar problems about molarity.

With the levels closest to the nucleus of
Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

Answer:

The first energy level is closest to the nucleus. The second energy level is a little farther away than the first. ... The electrons in the energy level farthest from the nucleus are called valence electrons. Atoms in the same column (group) in the periodic table have the same number of valence electrons.

SVEN [57.7K]

Answer:

the third option

Explanation:

The circuit is incomplete and broken, and the lights in the circuit do not shine.

An open circuit means an incomplete circuit.

The first option is wrong since the lights do not shine in an open circuit.

The second option is wrong since an open circuit is incomplete.

The fourth option is also wrong since an open circuit is broken or incomplete.

∴ The third option is correct.
