Percent composition by mass of oxygen =
((16.0*6)/(40.1+2*(14.0+16.0*3)))*100%
= 58.5%
therefore, the answer is D

Answer:

A. 9.8%

Explanation:

Percentage Composition = (Mass of element /  Mass of compound) * 100

Mass of oxygen = 16g

Molar mass of Ca(NO3)2

Where;

Ca = 40

N = 14

O =16

Molar mass = 40 + 2[14 + 3(16)] = 164

Substituting into the formular;

Percentage composition = (16 / 164) * 100

Percentage Composition = 0.0975 * 100

Percentage Composition = 9.75% ≈ 9.8 %

Correct option = A

What happens to the concentration of both H3O+ and OH- ions as water is added <br> to a base?
DanielleElmas [232]

Answer:

The concentration of H₃O⁺ ions increase whereas the concentration of the OH⁻ decreases.

Explanation:

The water, H₂O, has its own equilibrium thus:

2H₂O(l) ⇄ OH⁻(aq) + H₃O⁺(aq)

Where the water equilibrium constant, Kw, is defined as:

Kw = 1x10⁻¹⁴ = [OH⁻] [H₃O⁺]

The addition of a base represents the increasing of [OH⁻]. that means the concentration of OH⁻ ions.

Based on LeCh principle, in an equilibrium, the addition of a product produce the decreasing in concentration of the other products trying to counteract the effect, that means the concentration of H₃O⁺ ions decreases.

Calculate the amount of heat that must be absorbed by 10.0 g of ice at –20°C to convert it to liquid water at 60.0°C. Given: spe
Murljashka [212]

Answer:

The amount of heat to absorb is 6,261 J

Explanation:

Calorimetry is in charge of measuring the amount of heat generated or lost in certain physical or chemical processes.

The total energy required is the sum of the energy to heat the ice from -20 ° C to ice of 0 ° C, melting the ice of 0 ° C in 0 ° C water and finally heating the water to 60 ° C.

So:

  • Heat required to raise the temperature of ice from -20 °C to 0 °C

Being the sensible heat of a body the amount of heat received or transferred by a body when it undergoes a temperature variation (Δt) without there being a change of physical state (solid, liquid or gaseous), the expression is used:

Q = c * m * ΔT

Where Q is the heat exchanged by a body of mass m, made up of a specific heat substance c and where ΔT is the temperature variation (ΔT=Tfinal - Tinitial).

In this case, m= 10 g, specific heat of the ice= 2.1 \frac{J}{g*C} and ΔT=0 C - (-20 C)= 20 C

Replacing: Q= 10 g*2.1 \frac{J}{g*C} *20 C and solving: Q=420 J

  • Heat required to convert 0 °C ice to 0 °C water

The heat Q necessary to melt a substance depends on its mass m and on the called latent heat of fusion of each substance:

Q= m* ΔHfusion

In this case, being 1 mol of water= 18 grams: Q= 10 g*6.0 \frac{kJ}{mol} *\frac{1 mol of water}{18 g}= 3.333 kJ= 3,333 J (being kJ=1,000 J)

  • Heat required to raise the temperature of water from 0 °C to 60 °C

In this case the expression used in the first step is used, but being: m= 10 g, specific heat of the water= 4.18 \frac{J}{g*C} and ΔT=60 C - (0 C)= 60 C

Replacing: Q= 10 g*4.18 \frac{J}{g*C} *60 C and solving: Q=2,508 J

Finally, Qtotal= 420 J + 3,333 J + 2,508 J

Qtotal= 6,261 J

<u><em> The amount of heat to absorb is 6,261 J</em></u>
