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%

Practice Explaining Heat Flow

zloy xaker [14]

Answer:

The right choice is "burning gas → pan → water → eggs"

Explanation:

Heat will flow from the body of higher temperature to the cooler body.

So, heat will firstly flow from burning gas to pan by conduction then to the water in contact with pan then to the egg present inside the water.

<u>So, the right choice is :</u>

"burning gas → pan → water → eggs"

ASAP<br>what is an electron cloud

Bad White [126]

Explanation:

An electron cloud is the region of space that surrounds the nucleus of an atom under the nucleus of the negatively charged sub-atomic particles.

An atoms is made up of some particles.
The proton is positively charged and it is located in the nucleus of an atom.
The neutrons do not carry any charges and occupies the nucleus with protons.
Electrons are the negatively charged particles outside the nucleus.
The electron cloud is portion of an atom with greatest probability of finding an electron.

Explain how water might have two different densities

MrMuchimi

Answer:

I think this is it

Water can have two different densities if it has substances dissolved in it. ... When liquid water freezes it becomes solid water or ice, which is less dense than liquid water. The fact that solid water (ice) is less dense than liquid water is evident in the way ice floats in a glass of water.

An experiment reacts 20.4 g of zinc metal with a solution containing an excess of iron (III) sulfate. After the reaction, 10.8 g

quester [9]

Answer:

The answer to your question is 92.7%

Explanation:

Balanced Chemical reaction

3 Zn + Fe₂(SO₄)₃ ⇒ 2Fe + 3ZnSO₄

Molecular weight

Zinc = 65.4 x 3 = 196.2g

Iron (III) = 56 x 2 = 112 g

Proportions

196.2 g of Zinc ------------------ 112 g of Iron

20.4 g of Zinc ----------------- x

x = (20.4 x 112) / 196.2

x = 2284.8/196.2

x = 11.65 g of Iron

% yield = $\frac{10.8}{11.65} x 100$

% yield = 0.927 x 100

% yield = 92.7
