A 0.45-g sample of aspirin is decomposed into its constituent elements and found to contain 0.27 g C, 0.020 g H, and 0.16 g O. C

alculate the mass percent composition of C, H, and O in aspirin.

Carbon- 0.27/0.45 = 0.60*100 = 60%
Hydrogen- 0.020/0.45 = 0.04*100 = 4%
Oxygen- 0.16/0.45 = 0.36*100 = 36%

2. (2 pts) How would you prepare 1.5 liters of 2 M KCI (MW=74.55 g/mol)

ra1l [238]

Answer:

Dissolve 226 g of KCl in enough water to make 1.5 L of solution

Explanation:

1. Calculate the moles of KCl needed

$n = \text{1.5 L} \times \dfrac{\text{2 mol}}{\text{1 L}}= \text{3.0 mol}$

2. Calculate the mass of KCl

$m = \text{3.0 mol} \times \dfrac{\text{74.55 g}}{\text{1 mol}}= \text{224 g}$

3. Prepare the solution

Measure out 224 g of KCl.
Dissolve the KCl in a few hundred millilitres of distilled water.
Add enough water to make 1.5 L of solution. Mix thoroughly to get a uniform solution.

Explain why it is important to assume that the rate of radioactive decay aka radioactivity will remain constant over time?

marusya05 [52]

Answer and Explanation:

It's very important to assume that the rate of radioactive decay will remain constant over time to make scientists' lives easier when calculating the ages of fossils, compounds, etc.

If the rate changes, it would be extremely challenging for people to figure out the relative ages of rock strata, fossils, or other substances with radioactive elements in them. This is a fundamental assumption in order to be able to use radioactive dating.

Hope this helps!

Caitlin told Teddy that she heard that the largest diamond was found yesterday in Africa. What would be the best source of resea

matrenka [14]

B, the Internet.

If Caitlin told Teddy that the largest diamond was found YESTERDAY then it wouldn't be in last month's science magazine. It also wouldn't be able to be in an encyclopedia at the library because there wouldn't have been any time to write, publish, and for the library to get the encyclopedia in one day. Caitlin's parents may not know about Caitlin's claim or about the diamond in the first place. The Internet would likely have an article about the news-breaking diamond as soon as possible.
