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

Lena [83]

Answer:

The correct option is C.

In a tightly closed container in a dry and well-ventilated place

Explanation:

Hydrogen peroxide should be store in a tight closed container and ventilated area because it is an oxidizing agent and it's has oxidizing characteristics. If to is exposed or the bottle lid is broken and exposed it can react and liberate oxygen and heat. It can react with the air and chemical it is exposed with. This will make it to be less effective and there will be a change in it's composition.
