Let's start with the amount given in percent. Let our basis be 100 grams of compound. So, that means that in this amount, 57.1 g is oxygen and 100-57.1=42.9 g is carbon. Since there is 1:1 atom ratio, it also means that moles oxygen = moles carbon.

Moles = Mass/Relative Mass
Let x be the relative mass of oxygen

57.1/16 = 42.9/x
Solving for x,
<em>x = 12.02 amu</em>

What is the mass of six of these marbles? What is the volume? What is the<br> density?
chubhunter [2.5K]

Answer:

All right. So let's calculate the density of a glass marble. Remember that the formula for density is mass over volume. So if I know that the masses 18.5 g. And I know that the um volume is 6.45 cubic centimeters. I can go ahead and answer this to three significant figures. So it's going to be 2.87 grams per cubic centimeter. Okay, that's our density. Now, density is an intensive process. Okay. We're an intensive property. I really should say. It doesn't depend on how much you have. Mhm. If I have one marble, its density is going to be 2.87 g per cubic centimeter. If I have two marbles, the density will be the same because I'll double the mass and I'll also double the volume. So when I divide them I'll get the same number. Okay, that's what makes it an intensive property. No matter how many marbles I have, they'll have the same density. Mass though is not an intensive property. So if I have six marbles and I want to know what the massive six marbles is. Well, I know the mass of each marble is 18.5 g. So the mass of six marbles Is going to be 100 11 g. Because mass is an extensive property. It depends on how much you have. If I change the number of marbles, I'm going to change the mass. That's an extensive property. All right. So we've calculated the density. We've calculated the mass and then what happens to the density of one marble compared to six marbles as we mentioned before. Since densities and intensive property, the densities will be the same, no matter how may.

Which volume of oxygen, at room temperature and pressure, is needed for complete combustion
adell [148]
The molecular formula of methylpropan-1-ol is C4H10O, so the complete combustion equation is: C4H10O + 6O2 --> 4CO2 + 5H2O.  This mean to completely combust 1.0mol of methylpropan-1-ol, 6 mol of O2 is required. Molar mass of O2 is 32 g/mol, so 32g/mol x 6mol = 192 g of O2 is required.  At room temperature and pressure, the density of O2 is 1.3315 g/L (this can be obtained by density of gas = P/RT).  So the volume of O2 = mass/density = 192g/1.3315(g/L) = 144 L = 144 dm3. The answer is B.

Well all reactions need energy to start it. The light is the energy that the reaction requires to start it. Sunlight also has no mass in the first place so laws of conservation of mass don't apply to it.
