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%

Fission and fusion are alike in many ways. However, one difference is

Annette [7]

Explanation:

Fusion vs Fission

In fission, energy is gained by splitting apart heavy atoms, for example uranium, into smaller atoms such as iodine, caesium, strontium, xenon and barium, to name just a few. However, fusion is combining light atoms, for example two hydrogen isotopes, deuterium and tritium, to form the heavier helium. Both reactions release energy which, in a power plant, would be used to boil water to drive a steam generator, thus producing electricity.

Which is the best reason for choosing the beaker for heating the solution? The beaker is the only container that can withstand h

lyudmila [28]

Answer: The beaker will not tip over when placed on the hot plate

Justification:

Since beakers have flat surface bottoms (usually and this is the condition to use them for this particular application) they can be placed safely on the hot plate without the risk that the they tip over.

Beakers are wide mouth cylindrical vessels used in laboratories to store, mix and heat liquids. Most are made of glass, in which case the glass is resistant to the flame and does not break when exposed to high temperatures or when is heated by direct contact on a hot plate.

So, their safe shape (flat bottom) that makes them stable, along with their ability to withstand high temperatures, make them suitable to heat solutions in laboratories.

If I only want to make 500 mL of a 1.25% bleach solution, how many milliliters of bleach would I need? Show your work or explain

kiruha [24]

Answer:

6.25 mL

Explanation:

1.25% of 500 mL is ...

0.0125×(500 mL) = 6.25 mL

Since 1.25% of the 500 mL of solution is bleach, that's how much you need. That amount is 6.25 mL.
