Answer:

This question is incomplete. The completed question is below

Which expression represents the percent by mass of nitrogen in NH4NO3?

A) 14 g N/80 g NH₄ NO₃ ₓ 100%

B) 28 g N/80 g NH₄ NO₃ ₓ 100%

C) 80 g NH₄ NO₃ /14 g N ₓ 100%

D) 80 g NH₄ NO₃ /28 g N ₓ 100%

The correct option is B

Explanation:

To calculate the percentage by mass of nitrogen in the compound, the formula will be

total mass of nitrogen/total mass of compound    × 100

Atomic mass of nitrogen (N) is 14 g/mol

There are 2 nitrogen atoms present in the compound as highlighted below

<u><em>Total mass of nitrogen</em></u> (N) present in NH₄ NO₃ = 14 × 2 = 28g

Atomic mass of hydrogen (H) is 1 g/mol. There are 4 hydrogen atoms present in the compound, NH₄NO₃.

Atomic mass of oxygen (O) is 16 g/mol. There are 3 oxygen atoms present in the compound, NH₄NO₃

<u><em>Total mass of the compound</em></u> =

(14 × 2) + (1 ×4) + (16 × 3) = 80g

Hence, the percentage by mass of nitrogen in the compound (as shown in the formula earlier) is

28g of N/80g of NH₄NO₃ × 100%

W(N)={2M(N)/M(NH₄NO₃)}*100%

w(N)={2*14.0 g/mol/80.0 g/mol}*100% = 35%

What past or current environments allowed Nuclear Power to form?
Nimfa-mama [501]

Answer:

creation of radioactive wastes such as uranium mill tailings, spent (used) reactor fuel, and other radioactive wastes.

Explanation:

Nuclear energy produces radioactive waste

A major environmental concern related to nuclear power is the creation of radioactive wastes such as uranium mill tailings, spent (used) reactor fuel, and other radioactive wastes. These materials can remain radioactive and dangerous to human health for thousands of years.

Classify each amino acid into the following categories. Select the amino acid that fits best in each category. Each amino acid w
mel-nik [20]

Answer:

1. Lysine

2. Aspartic acid

3. Serine

4. Alanine

5. Tryptophan

Explanation:

Amino acids are biomolecules that contain two functional groups and one R side chain. The two functional groups are: carboxyl group and amino group.

The α-amino acids are the amino acids in which the two functional groups and the R side chain are attached to the α-carbon of the amino acid. They are total 22 α-amino acids.

1. A basic amino acid: Lysine is a positively charged, polar basic amino acid with a lysyl side chain.

2. An acidic amino acid: Aspartic acid is a negatively charged, polar acidic amino acid with an acidic carboxymethyl group.

3. A neutral polar amino acid: Serine is a polar and neutral amino acid with a hydroxymethyl group.

4. A non-polar aliphatic amino acid: Alanine is an aliphatic, nonpolar and neutral amino acid with a methyl side chain.

5. An aromatic amino acid: Tryptophan is an aromatic, nonpolar and neutral amino acid with an indole side chain.

Identify the oxidizing and reducing agents in the following: H2S(aq) + Cl2(g) -&gt; S(s) + 2HCI (aq)
alexgriva [62]

The oxidizing and reducing agent in the above redox reaction are hydrogen sulphide (H2S) and Chlorine (Cl) respectively.

<h3>What is an oxidizing and reducing agent?</h3>

An oxidizing agent is any substance that oxidizes, or receives electrons from another substance and as a result, becoming reduced.

On the other hand, a reducing agent is any substance that reduces or donates electrons to another and as a result becomes oxidized.

According to this reaction; H2S(aq) + Cl2(g) -> S(s) + 2HCI (aq)

  • H2S accepts electrons from Cl2 and becomes reduced to S
  • Cl2 donates electrons to H2S and becomes oxidized to HCl

Therefore, the oxidizing and reducing agent in the above redox reaction are hydrogen sulphide (H2S) and Chlorine (Cl) respectively.
