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 is the Lewis dot diagram structure for PI2F
Brut [27]

Answer:

Please find attached the completed Lewis dot diagram structure for PI₂F

Explanation:

The number of valence electrons are;

Phosphorus = 5 Electrons

Iodine = 2 × 7 electrons = 14 electrons

Chlorine = 7 electrons

The total number of valence electrons = 14 + 7 + 5 = 26 electrons

2) We draw the symbol that represents the basic (general) structure of the molecule as follows;

The sheared electron pair are represented by single bond lines

3) We complete the octet structures round the fluorine and the iodine atoms as attached showing 18 electrons plus 6 shared electron pairs, with a maximum from step 2 to give a total of (18 + 6) 24 electron pairs

4) We add the 2 unaccounted valence electron on the phosphorus atom to give it the stable octet structure, which gives the completed Lewis structure

Name one way igneous rock is different from metamorphic rock.
nasty-shy [4]

Answer:

Metamorphic rock is classified by texture and composition. The texture of a metamorphic rock can be either foliated and appear layered or banded, or non-foliated and appear uniform in texture without banding. Foliated rocks contain many different kinds of minerals, but non-foliated rocks contain only one main mineral, which contributes to their more uniform appearance.  Igneous rocks are classified according to mode of occurrence, texture, mineralogy, chemical composition, and the geometry of the igneous body.

The empirical formula of a compound is CH2O and its molecular weight is 90.09 g/mol. Determine the molecular formula.
Pachacha [2.7K]

Answer : The molecular formula of the compound will be, C_{3}H_{6}O_3

Explanation :

Empirical formula : It is the simplest form of the chemical formula which depicts the whole number of atoms of each element present in the compound.  

Molecular formula : it is the chemical formula which depicts the actual number of atoms of each element present in the compound.  

For determining the molecular formula, we need to determine the valency which is multiplied by each element to get the molecular formula.

The equation used to calculate the valency is :

n=\frac{\text{molecular mass}}{\text{empirical mass}}

As we are given that the empirical formula of a compound is CH_2O and the molar mass of compound is, 90.09 gram/mol.

The empirical mass of CH_2O = 1(12) + 2(1) + 1(16) = 30 g/eq

n=\frac{\text{molecular mass}}{\text{empirical mass}}

n=\frac{90.09}{30}=3

Molecular formula = (CH_2O)_n=(CH_2O)_3=C_{3}H_{6}O_3

Thus, the molecular formula of the compound will be, C_{3}H_{6}O_3
