A 5.5 g sample of a substance contains only carbon and oxygen. Carbon makes up 35% of the mass of the substance. The rest is mad

e of oxygen. You are asked to determine the mass of oxygen in the sample. Which of the following expressions demonstrates a mathematical procedure to solve this problem using the proper order of operations? 1) ((100 - 35)/100) times 5.5 grams = 2)100 - 35/100 times 5.5 grams = 3) 100 - (35/100) times 5.5 grams = *Recall that to calculate a percent of an amount in grams means you have to convert the percent to a number and multiply by the amount in grams. For example, 50% means 50 out of 100, or 50 hundredths. So 50% of 10 grams is 0.50 times 10 grams. You need to take 0.50 and multiply it by 10 grams to determine 50% of 10 grams is 5.0. (50% and 10 grams are examples and not numbers for this problem.)

Answer:

The correct answer is option (1).

Explanation:

Mass of the sample = 5.5 g

Percentage of carbon in sample = 35 %

Percentage of oxygen in sample = 100% - 35%

\%=\frac{\text{Mass of the element in the sample}}{\text{Mass of sample}}\times 100

Mass of carbon in a sample: (35%) of 5.5 g

\frac{35}{100}\times 5.5 g=1.925 g

Mass of oxygen in a sample: (100%-35%) of 5.5 g

\frac{100-35}{100}\times 5.5 g=3.575 g

What causes some materials to have magnetic fields?
enyata [817]
<span>Magnetic fields in certain materials (most commonly metals) are created due to moving electrons within these materials, which create an electric current.The distribution of electrons in these metals is uneven, resulting in an irregular rotation and lots of movement that then creates two magnetic poles (a north and south pole). When these poles align and face the same direction, they create a magnetic field.</span>

How do you balance this equation?
anyanavicka [17]

Answer:

HC₂H₃O₂ + NaHCO₃ —> NaC₂H₃O₂ + CO₂ + H₂O

The coefficients are: 1, 1, 1, 1, 1

Explanation:

_HC₂H₃O₂ + _NaHCO₃ —> _NaC₂H₃O₂ + _CO₂ + _H₂O

To balance an equation, we simply do a head count of the individual elements and ensure they are balanced on both side.

For the above equation, we shall balance it as :

HC₂H₃O₂ + NaHCO₃ —> NaC₂H₃O₂ + CO₂ + H₂O

Reactant:

H = 5

C = 3

O = 5

Na = 1

Product:

H = 5

C = 3

O = 5

Na = 1

From the above, we can see that each element is the same on both side of the equation. Thus the equation is already balanced

HC₂H₃O₂ + NaHCO₃ —> NaC₂H₃O₂ + CO₂ + H₂O

The coefficients are: 1, 1, 1, 1, 1

What did Rutherford’s scattering experiment reveal about the structure of atoms?
Stels [109]

Answer:

C

Explanation:

This experiment by Rutherford involved the firing of alpha particles at gold foils. It is also. called the gold foil experiment.

He fired these alpha particles at different points. He noticed that at some points, there were deflections, while at some other points, there were no deflections. It is necessary to state that these alpha particles are positively charged. For there to be a deflection, there must have been a kind of repulsion between the gold foil and the alpha particles.

From the basic physics of like repels like, he knew for sure that there must be dense positive core in the atom that is causing the deflection of the alpha particles. This enabled him to come up with the theory that the atom contained a small dense positive core called the nucleus
