Answer:

The percentage by mass of hydrogen in the unknown compound is 15.9 %

Explanation:

The formula to be used here is

% by mass of an element in a compound =

(molar mass of the element ÷ molar mass of the compound) × 100

From the question, the mass of the element (Hydrogen) is <u><em>12.4 g</em></u>

The mass of the compound (unknown) is <u><em>78.0 g</em></u>

Hence,

% by mass of hydrogen in the unknown compound = (12.4 ÷ 78) × 100

= 15.9 %

Formula to find the percent composition of an element in a compound is \frac {MolarMassOfElement}{MolarMassOfCompound}*100.

Now enter the variables into the formula.

\frac {12.4}{78.0}*100 = 15.897%
Round to 3 significant figures. 15.897% = 15.9%

The answer is 15.9% H

What is the electric field (in N/C) at a point 5.0 cm from the negative charge and along the line between the two charges?
Natali [406]

Answer: E = 2.455 x 10^5 N/C

Explanation:

q1 = 1.2x10^-7C

q2 = 6.2x10^-8C

Electric field, E = kQ/r²

where k = 9.0x10^9

since the location is (27 - 5)cm from q1

hence electric field, E1 = k*q1/r²

E1= (9x10^9 x 1.2x10^-7)/(0.22)² = 22314.05 N/C

for q2:

E1 = k*q2/r²

E2 at 5cm

E2 = (9x10^9 x 6.2x10^-8)/(0.05)² = 223200 N/C

Hence, the total electric field at 5cm position is

E = E1 + E2

E = 22314.05 + 223200 = 245514.05 N/C

E = 2.455 x 10^5 N/C
