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 %

Fudgin [204]

Answer: N = 2.78 × 10^23 atoms

There are N = 2.78 × 10^23 atoms in 70g of Au2cl6

Completed Question:

Calculate the number of gold atoms in a 70g sample of gold(III) chloride . Be sure your answer has a unit symbol if necessary, and round it to significant digits

Explanation:

Given:

Molar mass of Au2cl6 = 303.33g/mol

Mass of Au2cl6 = 70g

Number of moles of Au2cl6 = 70g/303.33g/mol = 0.231mol

According to the chemical formula of Au2cl6,

1 mole of Au2cl6 contains 2 moles of Au

Number of moles of Au = 2 × 0.231mol = 0.462mole

There are 6.022 × 10^23 atoms in 1 mole of an element.

Number of Atom of gold in 0.462 mole of gold is:

N = 0.462 mol × 6.022 × 10^23 atoms/mol

N = 2.78 × 10^23 atoms

Which of the following ions is a polyatomic ion?
nlexa [21]
Among the choices, the polyatomic ion is only the third choice, NH4+ where it is composed of nitrogen one atom of nitrogen and 4 atoms of hydrogen. Choice 2 is a monoatomic atom being composed only of calcium. Then, the first and fourth choices are not ions because they are not charged.

Calculate the number of moles of C2H6 in 6.29×1023 molecules of C2H6.
Kipish [7]

1.05moles

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Number of molecules of C₂H₆ = 6.29 x 10²³molecules

Unknown:

Number of moles = ?

Solution:

The mole is the amount of substances that contains Avogadro's number of particles i.e 6.02 x 10²³

 To find the number of moles:

  number of moles = \frac{number of particles}{Avogadro's number}

  number of moles = \frac{6.29 x 10^{23} }{6.02 x 10^{23} }

  number of moles = 1.05moles
