Assume 1mol of Al2O3:

mm(Al) = 26.98g/mol

x2(moles needed in 1mol of Al2O3)

= 53.96g

~54g

mm(O) = 16.00g/mol

x3(moles needed in 1mol of Al2O3)

=48g

mm(Al2O3) = m(Al) + m(O)

= 102g/mol

x1mol

=102g (in 1 mol)

<em>What</em><em> </em><em>percent</em><em> </em><em>of</em><em> </em><em>the</em><em> </em><em>total</em><em> </em><em>does</em><em> </em><em>X</em><em> </em><em>or</em><em> </em><em>Y</em><em> </em><em>take</em><em> </em><em>up</em><em>?</em>

Just take the portion that it gets and divide by the total:

Al: 54/102 = 53%

O: 48/102 = 47% or 100%-53%=47%

<em>Notice that, with binary compounds, you only need to calculate one of the two elements: the remaining amount HAS to be taken up by the other element, or else there would be something else involved.</em>

How many atoms are in 4 moles of oxygen?
Paha777 [63]

Answer:

There are 6.022 × 10 23 O atoms in a mole of O atoms. There are 6.022 × 10 23 O 2 molecules in a mole of . Since you have 2 oxygen atoms in one molecule, there are 2 × 6.022 × 10 23 O atoms in a mole of . A 'mole' is not short for a 'molecule

The Earth's moon is unusually large. Two popular theories of the moon's origin include the "sister world" hypothesis, which stat
Verizon [17]

Answer: D. They show that neither theory is complete and entirely correct.

Explanation:

Theory is the set of rules and principles that describe and explain a particular phenomenon (the existence of the moon in this case) and is subject to changes as new evidence emerges that gives meaning to it.

In this sense, there are many theories about the Earth's moon formation and two of the "accepted" theories are described before the question. In addition, both theories explain in a certain way the reason why the Moon is predominantly composed of elements similar to those found on Earth.

However, both theories seem to be incomplete when trying to explain our Moon's origin.
