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

Arrange the following elements in order of increasing ionization energy
Gnoma [55]

Ionization Trend: First ionization energy will increase left to right across a period and increase bottom to top of a family (column).

A) Sr, Be, Mg are all in column 2 of the periodic table. Based on the first ionization rule above, from increasing to decreasing energy, the order is: Be, Mg, Sr

B) Bi, Cs, Ba are all in the same row of the periodic table. Based on the first ionization rule above, from increasing to decreasing energy, the order is: Bi, Ba, Cs

C) Same rule as above. Order is: Na, Al, S

How many moles of hypomanganous acid, H3MnO4, are contained in 22.912 g?
harkovskaia [24]

Answer:

0.188mol

Explanation:

Using the formula as follows:

mole = mass/molar mass

Molar mass of hypomanganous acid, H3MnO4 = 1(3) + 55 + 16(4)

= 3 + 55 + 64

= 122g/mol

Mass of H3MnO4 is given as 22.912 g

Hence;

moles = 22.912 ÷ 122

number of moles = 0.188mol

How will the temperature change if you increase the mass of the gas molecules?
JulijaS [17]
In a hot gas, the molecules move faster than in a cold gas; the mass remains the same, but the kinetic energy, and hence the temperature, is greater because of the increased velocity of the molecules. ... We can sense that one gas is hotter than another gas and therefore has a higher temperature.

Some chemical reactions absorb energy rather than release it. Which of these phenomena are caused by chemical reactions that abs
Romashka [77]

A chemical reaction absorbs energy which means it is endothermic reaction.

The reaction is endothermic if the energy of products is more than the energy of reactants.

The energy of products is more means that the bond energy of products is more than the bond energy of reactants.

so breaking of bond needs energy which is greater than the energy released in making of new bonds.

Enthalpy of reaction = Bond energy of reactants - Bond energy of products.
