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

A student is told that both energy and mass must be conserved in every chemical reaction. She measures the mass of Hydrochloric
salantis [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

When we react Hydrochlorid Acid with zinc we have the following reaction:

2HCl(aq) + Zn(s) --> ZnCl2(aq) + H2(g)

The hydrogen gas formed is lost to the environment, so we can affirme that in the start we have the mass for all the H, Cl and Zn atoms in the solution, but after the reaction occurs, we have only the mass for the Cl and Zn atoms.

That's why the mass is less than the original.

The law that the student was told is only applied to closed environments.

What mass of sodium sulfate is needed to make 2.5 L of 2.0 M solution?
Serjik [45]
D) 710 g

Step by Step:
Multiply 2.5 L by 2.0 M to solve for moles
2 mol/L • 2.5 L= 5 mol

Find formula weight of sodium sulfate

Na2SO4-142.04 g/mol

Na- 2(22.99)=45.98
S-32.06
O-4(16)=64

Multiply miles by formula weight

5 mole • 142.04 g/mol=710.2 g

Iron has a density of 7.87 g/cm3. What is the volume in cm3 of 3.729 g of iron?
KIM [24]

If iron has a density of 7.87g/cm³ and a mass of 3.729g, then the volume of iron is 0.474cm³

HOW TO CALCULATE VOLUME:

  • The volume of a substance can be calculated by dividing the mass by its density. That is;

Volume (mL) = mass (g) ÷ density (g/mL)

  • The density of iron is given as 7.87g/cm³ while its mass is 3.729g of iron. Hence, the volume can be calculated as follows:

Volume = 3.729 ÷ 7.87

Volume = 0.474cm³

Therefore, the volume of iron is 0.474cm³

If you want to use a serial dilution to make a 1/50 dilution. The first dilution you make is a 1/5 dilution with a total volume
uranmaximum [27]

Answer:

0.2 mL stock solution, 0.8 solvent, 0.1 mL first solution and 0.9 solvent

Explanation:

The final volume for fist solution is 1 mL and concentration must will be 1/5, then 1 mL/5=0.2 mL. For complete the 1 mL add the missing solvent volume 1 mL-0.2 mL=0.8 mL. For second solution, assuming final volume is 1 mL, and concentration 1/10, then we have 1 mL /10=0.1 mL solution 1/5. Completing volume, 1 mL-0.1 mL= 0.9 mL solvent.
