Density is always Mass divided by Volume. Mass should be in grams, volume should be in metrics. Usually volume is per meter.

Two samples of the same compound are compared. what does the data represent? sample 1: 24.22 g carbon and 32.00 g oxygen sample

goblinko [34]

According to law of definite proportion:

In a compound, elements are always arranged in fixed ratio by mass.

Here, sample 1 has 23.22 g Carbon and 32.00 g Oxygen.

Converting mass into number of moles:

Molar mass of carbon is 12 g/mol and that of oxygen is 16 g/mol thus,

$n_{C}=\frac{m_{C}}{M_{C}}=\frac{24.22 g}{12 g/mol}\approx 2 mol$

Similarly, number of moles of oxygen will be:

$n_{O}=\frac{m_{O}}{M_{O}}=\frac{32 g}{16 g/mol}=2 mol$

The ratio of number of moles of carbon and oxygen will be:

$C:O=n_{C}:n_{O}=2:2=1:1$

Therefore, formula of compound will be CO.

Sample 2:

It has 36.22 g Carbon and 48.00 g Oxygen.

Converting mass into number of moles:

Molar mass of carbon is 12 g/mol and that of oxygen is 16 g/mol thus,

$n_{C}=\frac{m_{C}}{M_{C}}=\frac{36.22 g}{12 g/mol}\approx 3 mol$

Similarly, number of moles of oxygen will be:

$n_{O}=\frac{m_{O}}{M_{O}}=\frac{48 g}{16 g/mol}=3 mol$

The ratio of number of moles of carbon and oxygen will be:

$C:O=n_{C}:n_{O}=3:3=1:1$

The formula of compound will be CO.

Therefore, it is proved that carbon and oxygen are present in fixed ratios in both the samples.

Why is soil conversation important

Vinvika [58]

Answer:

Soil conservation is important because soil is crucial for many aspects of human life as it provides food, filters air and water and helps to decompose biological waste into nutrients for new plant life. Soil can be drained away or contaminated, destroying it for use. Soil conversation involves working to reduce contamination and depletion.

How many grams of iron are in 350 mg of iron?-

Mamont248 [21]

Answer:

0.350 g of iron

Explanation:

Step 1: Given data

Mass of iron (m): 350 mg

Step 2: Convert the mass of iron to milligrams

In order to convert the mass of iron from grams to milligrams we need a conversion factor. In this case, the conversion factor is 1 g = 1,000 mg.

350 mg Fe × 1 g Fe/1,000 mg Fe = 0.350 g Fe

350 milligrams of iron is equal to 0.350 grams of iron. We conserve the 3 significante figures of the original data.
