Explanation:
The physical properties of organic compounds typically of interest include both quantitative and qualitative features. Quantitative information includes a melting point, boiling point, and index of refraction. Qualitative properties include odor, consistency, solubility, and color.
The question can be changed into a new form:
Which element has the most negative electron affinity, or attraction for electrons? halogens have the highest electron affinities, and thus are more attracted to the electrons in the Hydrogen atom than any element in their respective periods.
In this case all the following choices are in the same period, thus Cl or Chlorine is the answer as it is a halogen.
Answer:
Option-C (27.36% Na, 1.20% H, 14.30% C, and 57.14% O)
Explanation:
<em>Percent Composition</em> is defined as the <u><em>%age by mass of each element present in a compound</em></u>. Therefore, it is a relative amount of each element present in a compound.
Calculating Percent Composition of NaHCO₃:
1: Calculating Molar Masses of all elements present in NaHCO₃:
a) Na = 22.99 g/mol
b) H = 1.01 g/mol
c) C = 12.01 g/mol
d) O₃ = 16.0 × 3 = 48 g/mol
2: Calculating Molecular Mass of NaHCO₃:
Na = 22.99 g/mol
H = 1.01 g/mol
C = 12.01 g/mol
O₃ = 48 g/mol
----------------------------------
Total 84.01 g/mol
3: Divide each element's molar mass by molar mass of NaHCO₃ and multiply it by 100:
For Na:
= 22.99 g.mol⁻¹ ÷ 84.01 g.mol⁻¹ × 100
= 27.36 %
For H:
= 1.01 g.mol⁻¹ ÷ 84.01 g.mol⁻¹ × 100
= 1.20 %
For C:
= 12.01 g.mol⁻¹ ÷ 84.01 g.mol⁻¹ × 100
= 14.29 % ≈ 14.30 %
For O:
= 48.0 g.mol⁻¹ ÷ 84.01 g.mol⁻¹ × 100
= 57.13 % ≈ 57.14 %
