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 %

In terms of electrons, what is the difference between a covalent and ionic bond
kramer

Answer:

An ionic bond essentially donates an electron to the other atom participating in the bond, while electrons in a covalent bond are shared equally between the atoms. Ionic bonds form between a metal and a nonmetal. Covalent bonds form between two nonmetals

How many bromine atoms are present in 39.4 g of CH2Br2
strojnjashka [21]
37.8 g CH2Br2 X (1 mol CH2Br2 / 173.83 g) = 4.60X10^-3 mol CH2Br2 

<span>4.60X10^-3 mol CH2Br2 X (2 mol Br / 1 mol CH2Br2) X 6.02X10^23 atoms/mol = 5.54X10^21 bromine atoms</span>

Which of the following is a correct formula unit? PbCl AlP Li3Al ClO
zavuch27 [327]

Answer:  AIP  

There are two types of substances mixture and pure substance. Mixture has NO chemical formula and a pure substance has a chemical formula. There are two types of pure substances, elements (mono atomic and molecular) and compounds ( covalent and ionic).  

Ionic compounds do not exist in independent molecular form. They form three dimensional crystal lattice, in which each ion is surrounded by oppositely charged ion.  so the ratio of ion is called the formula unit

as the elements period 3 are considered in order of increasing atomic number, the number of principal energy levels in each succ
Diano4ka-milaya [45]

Answer:

stay the same.

Explanation:  Period 3 consists of the full 1s, 2s, and 2p electron orbitals, plus the 3s and 3p valence orbitals, which are filled with a total of 8 more electrons as we move from left (Na) to the far right (Ar):

Na:  1s2 2s2 2p6 3s1

Ar:    s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6

As we move from left to right, and ignoring the already-filled 1s, 2s, and 2p orbitals, the period three starting and ending elements have the following:

Na: 3s1

Ar: 3s2, 3p6

All the new electrons electrons filled the third energy level (3s and 3p).  So the energy level does not change, just the orbitals.
