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%

Dissolving 5.28 g of an impure sample of calcium carbonate in hydrochloric acid produced 1.14 L of carbon dioxide at 20.0 °C and

swat32

Answer:

$\%\ mass\ of\ CaCO_3=93.37\ \%$

Explanation:

Given that:

Pressure = 791 mmHg

Temperature = 20.0°C

The conversion of T( °C) to T(K) is shown below:

T(K) = T( °C) + 273.15

So,

T = (20 + 273.15) K = 293.15 K

T = 293.15 K

Volume = 100 L

Using ideal gas equation as:

PV=nRT

where,

P is the pressure

V is the volume

n is the number of moles

T is the temperature

R is Gas constant having value = 62.3637 L.mmHg/K.mol

Applying the equation as:

791 mmHg × 1.14 L = n × 62.3637 L.mmHg/K.mol × 293.15 K

⇒n of $CO_2$ produced = 0.0493 moles

According to the reaction:-

$CaCO_3 + 2 HCl\rightarrow CaCl_2 + H_2O + CO_2$

1 mole of carbon dioxide is produced 1 mole of calcium carbonate reacts

0.0493 mole of carbon dioxide is produced 0.0493 mole of calcium carbonate reacts

Moles of calcium carbonate reacted = 0.0493 moles

Molar mass of $CaCO_3$ = 100.0869 g/mol

The formula for the calculation of moles is shown below:

$moles = \frac{Mass\ taken}{Molar\ mass}$

Thus,

$0.0493\ mol= \frac{Mass}{100.0869\ g/mol}$

$Mass_{CaCO_3}=4.93\ g$

Impure sample mass = 5.28 g

Percent mass is percentage by the mass of the compound present in the sample.

$\%\ mass\ of\ CaCO_3=\frac{Mass_{CaCO_3}}{Total\ mass}\times 100$

$\%\ mass\ of\ CaCO_3=\frac{4.93}{5.28}\times 100$

$\%\ mass\ of\ CaCO_3=93.37\ \%$

What is the change in internal energy ( ΔU ) of the system if q = –8 kJ and w = –1 kJ for a certain process?

Radda [10]

Answer:

Change in internal energy (ΔU) = -9 KJ

Explanation:

Given:

q = –8 kJ [Heat removed]

w = –1 kJ [Work done]

Find:

Change in internal energy (ΔU)

Computation:

Change in internal energy (ΔU) = q + w

Change in internal energy (ΔU) = -8 KJ + (-1 KJ)

Change in internal energy (ΔU) = -8 KJ - 1 KJ

Change in internal energy (ΔU) = -9 KJ

What did Thomas Young, Max planck and Albert Einstein contribute towards the nature of light?

Lera25 [3.4K]

The contribution to the nature of light-

Thomas Young - wave nature of light (double-slit experiment)

Max Planck - E = hv

Albert Einstein - a quantum theory of light

Thomas Young proposed the most important double-slit experiment which shows that light acts like a wave and shows the pattern of interferences.

Max Planck proposed that light is proportional to frequency. He gave the equation, E = hv, where E is the energy of light, h is Planck's constant, and v is the frequency.

Albert Einstein proposed the quantum theory of light. He determined that light exists in discrete quanta of energy called photons.
