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

Why is it dangerous to react sodium and potassium with dulute sulphuric acid?​
spin [16.1K]

Answer:

Because sodium and potassium are very reactive metals so they react explosively with HCL and H2SO4 evolving a large amount of heat.

Each incomplete reaction is a neutralization reaction. Match each equation with the salt formed. 1. H2SO4 + 2NH4OH → ? 2. 2NaOH
sergey [27]

1. H₂SO₄ + 2NH₄OH ⟶ (NH₄)₂SO₄ + 2H₂O


2. 2NaOH + H₂CO₃ ⟶ Na₂CO₃ + 2H₂O


3. HNO₃ + KOH ⟶ KNO₃ + H₂O


<em>Explanation</em>:

Acid + base ⟶ salt + water


Take the H from the acid and the OH from the base to get water.


Then, join what’s left to get the salt. Write the symbol for the metal first.


For example, in equation 3, take the H from HNO₃ and the OH from KOH.


Combining the remaining parts (NO₃ and K) to get the salt, KNO₃.
