C3H8 + 5O2 —> 3CO2 + 4H20
there is 10 oxygens
6 in CO2 and 4 in H2O
10:2=5
answer is 5

I think it is 5 bc there are 10 Os on one side and 2 on the other

what is the percent by mass of NaHCO3 in a solution containing 20.0 g of NaHCO3 dissolved in 600.0 ml of water

Ne4ueva [31]

%(NaHCO3)= ((mass NaHCO3)/(mass NaHCO3 + mass water))*100%

m=Volume*Density
Density of water =1 g/ml
m(water) = Volume(water)*Density(water) = 600.0 ml * 1g/ml=600g water

%(NaHCO3)= ((20.0 g)/(20.0 g + 600 g))*100%=0.0323*100%=32.3%

Is matter continuous and therefore has no finer structure or is it discontinuous and thus made or tiny particles

Marta_Voda [28]

Matter is discontinuous, and it is made of tiny particles called atoms

Explanation:

Matter is not a continuous structure, but it consists of tiny particles called atoms.

An atom consists of three types of particles:

Proton: the proton is in the nucleus of the atom. it has a positive electric charge of $+1.6\cdot 10^{-19}C$ (also called fundamental charge). Its mass is $1.67\cdot 10^{-27}kg$ .

Neutron: the neutron is also in the nucleus of the atom, but it has no electric charge. Its mass is similar to the mass of the proton (slightly heavier). Neutrons and protons are held together in the nucleus through the strong nuclear force.

Electron: electrons are found in a "cloud" outside the nucleus. Electron has negative electric charge equal to $-1.6\cdot 10^{-19}C$ . Its mass is much approximately 1800 times smaller than that of the proton, so it is considered as negligible.
