The answer is (3). The number of Sr is the same so if the compound has the smallest gram formula mass, it has the highest percent composition by mass of strontium. So the answer is (3).

Answer: option (3) SrO, with 84.56%

Explanation:

You have to calculate the mass of strontium and the mass of the compound, for each of the four compounds, and compute the percent:

percent of strontium = (mass of strontium / mass of the chemical formula) × 100 %.

These are the atomic masses of the elements that you have to use:

Atomic mass of Sr: 87.62 g/mol

Atomic mass of Cl: 35.453 g/mol

Atomic mass of I: 126.904 g/mol

Atomic mass of O: 15.999 g/mol

Atomic mass of S: 32.065 g/mol

(1) SrCl₂:

i) mass of Sr: 87.62 g/mol

ii) mass of Cl₂: 2×35.453 g/mol = 70.906 g/mol

iii) mass of SrCl₂: 87.62 g/mol + 70.906 g/mol = 158.526 g/mol

iv) Sr % = [87.62 / 158.526 ] × 100 = 55.27%

(2) SrI₂

Following the same procedure:

i) Sr % = [87.62 / (87.62 + 2× 126.904) ] × 100 = 25.66%

(3) SrO

i) Sr % = [87.62 / (87.62 + 15.999) ] × 100 = 84.56%

(4) SrS

i) Sr % = [87.62 / (87.62 + 32.065) ] × 100 = 73.21%

What is the concentration of h+ ions in a 2.20 m solution of hno3?
kvv77 [185]

The question is improperly formatted.

What is the concentration of H+ ions in a 2.2 M solution of HNO3.

Answer:-

2.2 moles of H+ per litre

Explanation:-

M stands for molarity. 2.2 M means 2.2 moles of HNO3 is present per litre of the solution.

Now HNO3 has just 1 H in it's formula. HNO3 would give H+. So 2.2 moles of HNO3 would mean 2.2 moles of H+ per litre.

tigry1 [53]
The answer is 4.41x10^1 m.

Explanation:

You would use this formula to calculate it
λ = C/f

Where,

λ (Lambda) = Wavelength in meters

c = Speed of Light (299,792,458 m/s)

f = Frequency

So we have the frequency, 68 Hz, and we have the speed of light. Now we put it into the equation and it will look like this:


λ= (299,792,458 m/s) / (68 Hz)

λ= 4.41x10^1
