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%

On which part of the carbon cycle have humans had the greatest impact? storage of co2 in the oceans all of the answer options ha
yarga [219]
Hello!

The part of the carbon cycle where humans had the greatest impact is the return of CO₂ to the atmosphere by burning of ancient organic matter.

The ancient organic matter is also called Fossil Fuels. Some Fossil Fuels are Petroleum and Coal. Fossil Fuels are used to power our society and are burned to provide energy for power plants and vehicles, and by burning them, Carbon Dioxide (CO₂) is produced, increasing the natural concentration of this compound in the atmosphere.

Have a nice day!

A sample of sulfur hexafluoride gas occupies a volume of 5.10 L at 198 ºC. Assuming that the pressure remains constant, what tem
Ludmilka [50]

Answer:

When the volume will be reduced to 2.50 L, the temperature will be reduced to a temperature of 230.9K

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

A sample of sulfur hexafluoride gas occupies a volume of 5.10 L

Temperature = 198 °C = 471 K

The volume will be reduced to 2.50 L

Step 2 Calculate the new temperature via Charles' law

V1/T2 = V2/T2

⇒with V1 = the initial volume of sulfur hexafluoride gas = 5.10 L

⇒with T1 = the initial temperature of sulfur hexafluoride gas = 471 K

⇒with V2 = the reduced volume of the gas = 2.50 L

⇒with T2 = the new temperature = TO BE DETERMINED

5.10 L / 471 K = 2.50 L / T2

T2 = 2.50 L / (5.10 L / 471 K)

T2 = 230.9 K = -42.1

When the volume will be reduced to 2.50 L, the temperature will be reduced to a temperature of 230.9K

Alex17521 [72]
H₂O₂ + 2FeSO₄ + H₂SO₄ → Fe₂(SO₄)₃ + 2H₂O

H₂O₂ + 2H⁺ + 2e⁻ → 2H₂O  k=1
Fe²⁺ → Fe³⁺ + e⁻                 k=2

H₂O₂ + 2H⁺ + 2Fe²⁺ → 2H₂O + 2Fe³⁺
