Answer:

The mass percent of potassium is 39%

Option C is correct

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Atomic mass of K = 39.10 g/mol

Atomic mass of H = 1.01 g/mol

Atomic mass of C = 12.01 g/mol

Atomic mass of O = 16.0 g/mol

Step 2: Calculate molar mass of KHCO3

Molar mass KHCO3 = 39.10 + 12.01 + 1.01 + 3*16.0

Molar mass KHCO3 = 100.12 g/mol

Step 3: Calculate mass percent of potassium (K)

%K = (atomic mass of K / molar mass of KHCO3) * 100%

%K = (39.10 / 100.12) * 100%

%K = 39.05 %

The mass percent of potassium is 39%

Option C is correct

In two or more complete sentences, explain how to balance the combustion equation: ___C5H12 + ___O2 ⟶ ___CO2 + ___H2O
egoroff_w [7]

Answer:

First, place no. 5 in front of the CO2 in order to balance the carbon atoms. Next, place no. 6 in front of H2O to balance the hydrogen atoms. Lastly place no. 8 in front of the O2 so that there are 16 oxygen atoms on both sides of the reaction.

What is the percent composition by mass of oxygen in ca(no3)2 (gram-formula mass = 164 g/mol)?a.9.8%b.29%c.48%d.59%?
Mila [183]
Percent composition by mass of oxygen =
((16.0*6)/(40.1+2*(14.0+16.0*3)))*100%
= 58.5%
therefore, the answer is D

The individual components of a solution_____.
Misha Larkins [42]
Its been awhile since I've dabbled in chemistry, but i do know that A isnt the answer because the question says solution, not mixture. This looks somewhat like a trick question, it says individual components, so the answer would be C. This is because the individual components do react to form a compound. B and D would be true if it didnt say individual components, so the question is basically focusing on only one ingredient, not the whole solution. Answer: C
