Answer:

Explanation:

% by mass of C = (mass of C/mass of CO2) X 100%

mass of C = 12

mass of CO2 = 12 + (16X2)

                      = 12 + 32

                      = 44

% by mass of C = (12/44) X 100% =27.2%

Answer:

The answer to your question is 27.3 %

Explanation:

Percent by mass = ?

Process

1.- Calculate the atomic mass of carbon using the periodic table

Atomic mass = 12g

2.- Calculate the molecular mass of CO₂.

Carbon = 12

Oxygen = 16 x 2 = 32

Total = 12 + 32 = 44g

3.- Calculate the percent by mass of carbon using proportions

                          44g -------------------- 100%

                           12 g -------------------  x

                            x = (12 x 100) / 44

                            x = 1200 / 44

                            x = 27.3 %

What<br>was the initial volume of the hydrogen in cm3?​
svetlana [45]

Answer:

255.51cm3

Explanation:

Data obtained from the question include:

V1 (initial volume) =?

T1 (initial temperature) = 50°C = 50 + 273 = 323K

T2 (final temperature) = - 5°C = - 5 + 237 = 268K

V2 (final volume) = 212cm3

Using the Charles' law equation V1/T1 = V2/T2, the initial volume of the gas can be obtained as follow:

V1/T1 = V2/T2

V1/323 = 212/268

Cross multiply to express in linear form

V1 x 268 = 323 x 212

Divide both side by 268

V1 = (323 x 212)/268

V1 = 255.51cm3

Therefore, the initial volume of the gas is 255.51cm3

Rank these compounds by highest boiling point to lowest boiling point? Pentane, neopentane, isopentane
PilotLPTM [1.2K]
<span>Pentane has a boiling point of 36.1 C, while isopentane boils at 27.7C. Neopentane has the lowest boiling point at 9.5 C. Therefore from highest to lowest boiling points, it is pentane, isopentane, and neopentane.</span>

The atomic symbol Superscript 206 subscript 82 upper P b. represents lead-206 (Pb-206), an isotope that has 82 protons and 124 n
Serggg [28]

Answer:

\left \{ {{y=206} \atop {x=82}}Pb \right.

Explanation:

isotopes are various forms of same elements with different atomic number but different mass number.

Radioactivity is the emission of rays or particles from an atom to produce a new nuclei. There are various forms of radioactive emissions which are

  • Alpha particle emission  \left \{ {{y=4} \atop {x=2}}He \right.
  • Beta particle emission    \left \{ {{y=0} \atop {x=-1}}e \right.
  • gamma radiation             \left \{ {{y=0} \atop {x=0}}γ \right.

in the problem the product formed after radiation was Pb-206. isotopes of lead include Pb-204, Pb-206, Pb-207, Pb-208. they all have atomic number 82. which means the radiation cannot be ∝ or β since both radiations will alter the atomic number of the parent nucleus.

Only gamma radiation with \left \{ {{y=0} \atop {x=0}}γ \right. will produce a Pb-206 of atomic number 82 and mass number 206 , since gamma ray have 0 mass and has 0 atomic number.equation is shown below

\left \{ {{y=206} \atop {x=82}}Pb\right ⇒ \left \{ {{y=206} \atop {x=82}}Pb\right +  \left \{ {{y=0} \atop {x=0}}γ\right.

Thus the atomic symbol is \left \{ {{y=206} \atop {x=82}}Pb\right

The reaction below demonstrates which characteristic of a base?
svlad2 [7]

Answer: option D. the ability of a base to react with a soluble metal salt.


Justification:


NaOH is a strong base, which means that in water it will dissociate according to this reaction:


  • NaOH(aq) → Na⁺ (aq) + OH⁻ (aq)

On the other hand, CuSO₄ is a soluble ionic salt which in water will dissociate into its ions according to this other reaction:

  • CuSO₄(aq) → Cu²⁺ + SO₄²⁻

Hence, in solution, the sodium ion (Na⁺) will  react with the metal salt in a double replacement reaction, where the highly reactive sodium ion (Na⁺) will substitute the Cu²⁺ in the CuSO₄ to form the sodium sulfate salt, Na₂SO₄ (water soluble), and the copper(II) hydroxide, Cu(OH)₂ (insoluble).


That is what the given reaction represents:


  CuSO₄ (aq)     +     2NaOH(aq)    →    Cu(OH)₂(s)       +     Na₂SO₄(aq)

         ↑                                ↑                         ↑                            ↑

soluble metal salt       strong base       insoluble base       solube salt
