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

Vlad1618 [11]

2 C₃H₇OH (l) +  9 O₂ (g) → 6 CO₂ (g) + 8 H₂O (g)

Explanation:

To balance the chemical equation the number of atoms of each element entering the reaction have to be equal to the number of atoms of each element leaving the reaction, in order to conserve the mass.

Bellow we have the balanced chemical equation of the complete combustion of C₃H₇OH:

C₃H₇OH (l) +  (9/2) O₂ (g) → 3 CO₂ (g) + 4 H₂O (g)

to have integer coefficients  we multiply the reaction with 2:

2 C₃H₇OH (l) +  9 O₂ (g) → 6 CO₂ (g) + 8 H₂O (g)

where:

(l) - liquid

(g) - gaseous

Name three stars that are hotter than the sun
devlian [24]

Eta Carinae could be as large as 180 times the radius of the Sun, and its surface temperature is 36,000-40,000 Kelvin. Just for comparison, 40,000 Kelvin is about 72,000 degrees F. So it's the blue hypergiants, like Eta Carinae, which are probably the hottest stars in the Universe.

Why does water conduct electricity but only very poorly
e-lub [12.9K]

Answer:

actually pure water doesnt conduct electricity, any salts or impurities dissolved in water enable it to conduct electricity, When salts are dissolved in water, they separate into different electrically charged atoms called ions. Sodium chloride (NaCl), breaks up into positive Na ions and negative Cl ions.
