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

Relate the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom to the properties of matter.
Sauron [17]

Answer:

The number of electrons, in turn, determines the chemical properties of the atom. Protons contribute to the mass of an atom and provide the positive charge to the nucleus. The number of protons also determines the identity of the element

How many moles of n are in 0.163 g of n2o?
zimovet [89]

First convert 0.163 grams of N2O to mol by dividing it with the molecular weight. The molecular weight of N2O is 44 grams/mol. The answer would be 3,79x10^-3. Then multiply it with 2 since there are 2 Nitrogen in one mole of N2O. Therefore, there are 7.41x10^-3 moles of Nitrogen.
