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

Okay
Mr (H2O)= 18g
therefore moles of H2O
is 720.8/18= 40.04mol
the ratio of H2 to O2 to H2O is
2 : 1 : 2
so moles of H2 is same as H2O here
H2= 40.04moles

moles of O2 is half
so 40.04 x 0.5
20.02moles

grams of O2 is
its moles into Mr of O2
that's 20.02 x 32 = 640.64g

Students in a lab used a hot plate to boil water. Which of the following illustrations best represents the change in the movemen
Digiron [165]

The second illustration is the best representation of the change in the movement of particles as the temperature of the water changes.

<u>Explanation:</u>

The second option perfectly represents the boiling of water. As when the temperature is increased, the water molecules gain energy to move faster, thus their kinetic energy of the atoms will be more. This will lead to more freely movement of all the atoms of the water.

And as boiling leads to transformation from liquid state to gaseous state, so the increase in the distance between atoms and molecules occurs in the gaseous state. Thus, the second illustration is best suitable for representing the boiling of water.

As on increasing temperature of the water, the distance between the molecules is increasing in the second illustration while the other illustration shows the decrease in the distance between the molecules. So, the second illustration is the best representation of the change in the movement of particles as the temperature of the water changes.
