Answer: Cl = 49.0%, H = 2.8% and Cl = 48.2%

Explanation: Masses of C, H and Cl elements are given and the question asks to calculate the percent composition of each element in the compound.

The formula used for percent composition that is mass percentage is:

mass percent of an element = (\frac{element mass}{compound mass})*100

Given:

mass of C = 73.5 grams

mass of H = 4.20 grams

mass of Cl = 72.3 grams

Mass of compound = 73.5 grams + 4.20 grams + 72.3 grams = 150 grams

percent composition of C = (\frac{73.5}{150})*100  = 49.0%

percent composition of H = (\frac{4.20}{150})*100  = 2.8%

percent composition of Cl = (\frac{72.3}{150})*100  = 48.2%

So, the compound has 49.0% C, 2.8% H and 48.2% Cl.

How is modeling useful to scientist
Keith_Richards [23]
In science, a model is a representation of an idea, an object or even a process or a system that is used to describe and explain phenomena that cannot be experienced directly. Models are central to what scientists do, both in their research as well as when communicating their explanations.
Models have a variety of uses – from providing a way of explaining complex data to presenting as a hypothesis. There may be more than one model proposed by scientists to explain or predict what might happen in particular circumstances. Often scientists will argue about the ‘rightness’ of their model, and in the process, the model will evolve or be rejected. Consequently, models are central to the process of knowledge-building in science and demonstrate how science knowledge is tentative.

Which one of the following is a redox reaction?
AleksAgata [21]

3Mg(s) + 2FeCl3(aq) → 3 MgCl2(aq) + 2Fe(s)

Explanation:

Redox reaction is a reduction-oxidation reaction in which oxidation states of atoms involved in the reaction are changed. The elements that receive electrons are considered to be reduced while the element that donates the electrons is considered to be oxidized. In the case of this reaction, Fe in the FeCl₃ is reduced into Fe by gaining 3 electrons - while Mg is oxidized to MgCl₂ because it donates 2 electrons.

If you check the moles of Mg, FeCl₃, Fe, and MgCl₂; you'll get to notice that the exchange of electron is balanced at 6.

1. How many grams of Mg(OH)2 are there in 4.5 moles?
Ket [755]

Answer:

1) 262 grams

Explanation:

Mg = 24.305g

O = 16g

H = 1

24.305 +2(16)+2(1) = 58.305 g

×\frac{58.305g}{1} = \frac{x }{4.5 } =262.37 g

How many electrons and how many protons <br> Al3+
NemiM [27]
Al+3is the third electron ionization level of the atom Al. Al has an atomic number of 13, thus it has 13 protons and electrons. By shooting a photon with a certain amount of energy (the energy in kj/mol) the atom will be ionized and lose the electrons. 13-3 = 10 The total amount of electrons in Al3+ is 10 <span>*The energy required to ''detach'' 3 electrons from the 3s and 3p orbital.</span>
