Answer:

The percent by mass of 3.55 g NaCl dissolved in 88 g water is 3.88%

Explanation:

When a solute dissolves in a solvent, the mass of the resulting solution is a sum of the mass of the solute and the solvent.

A percentage is a way of expressing a quantity as a fraction of 100. In this case, the percentage by mass of a solution is the number of grams of solute per 100 grams of solution and can be represented mathematically as:

Percent by mass=\frac{mass of solute}{mass of solution} *100

In this way it allows to precisely establish the concentration of solutions and express them in terms of percentages.

In this case:

  • mass of solute: 3.55 g
  • mass of solution: 3.55 g + 88 g= 91.55 g

Replacing:

Percentbymass=\frac{3.55}{91.55}*100

Percent by mass= 3.88%

<u><em>The percent by mass of 3.55 g NaCl dissolved in 88 g water is 3.88%</em></u>

Helen [10]
The choices that should have accompanied this question were:
A. 1 
<span>B. 2 </span>
<span>C. 3 </span>
<span>D. 4 
</span>
My answer is B. 2.
Below is an explanation, I found while doing the research.

<span>Phosphate needs 3 electrons each totaling 6 electrons so each zinc will need to give up 2 electrons.

Phosphate wants to imitate the electron configuration of Argon because noble configurations are the most stable. With P getting the extra electrons the valence shell will be 3s2 3p6, which is the same as Argon. Without the extra electrons, the P valence shell looks like this 3s2 3p3, now you can see why each phosphorus wants 3 more electrons, that will make it 3s2 3p6, just like Argon.</span>

NemiM [27]

Answer:

The soda can kept the same mass as it changed in shape only

Explanation:

Law of Conservation states "mass cannot be created or destroyed" therefore this is why the mass hasn't changed, but when it was smashed the shape changed.

Compare and contrast archaea and bacteria
Nitella [24]

Answer:

Bacteria contain peptidoglycan in the cell wall; archaea do not. The cell membrane in bacteria is a lipid bilayer; in archaea, it can be a lipid bilayer or a monolayer. Bacteria contain fatty acids on the cell membrane, whereas archaea contain phytanyl.
