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 %

Which of the following reactions is not an example of an oxidation-reduction reaction? ( 2 points) Select one: a. H2 + F2yields
Kisachek [45]
Answer is: c. CuSO4 + 2NaOH yields Cu(OH)2 + Na2SO4.
Copper atom has oxidation number +2, sulfur atom oxidation number +6, oxygen has oxidation number-2, sodium has oxidation number +1 and hydrogen has +1 on both side of chemical reaction, so elements did not change their oxidation numbers.

two samples of water, 10 grams and 50 grams are in sperate cups which of the following properties is different for the two boili
Trava [24]

Answer:

volume

Explanation:

The volume of the two samples of water will be different because volume is the amount of space occupied by a body. It is dependent on the amount of materials it contains.

  • The 50g sample will have a higher volume compared to the 10g sample.
  • The boiling point and density are intensive properties and do not depend on the amount of matter present.
  • Since both samples are from the same source, they will have the same color.
