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 %

Answer: B. 1:2

Explanation: Beryllium and chlorine forms a binary ionic compound. Ionic compound is formed when a metal loses its electrons to a receiving non metal. Beryllium (metal) has two valence electrons while chlorine (nonmetal) has seven valence electrons, and so a beryllium atom has to give out its two valence electrons to attain a duplet stable structure while a chlorine atom will gain one electron to attain its stable octet structure. In the reaction between beryllium and chlorine, two atoms of chlorine have to accept the two electrons from one beryllium atom to attain their stable octet structure.

The formula of the compound formed is BeCl2.

Help please thanks you
scoundrel [369]

Explanation:

Ok so water is H2O and cabon dioxide in the air is CO2, so the water goes through the carbon dioxide and makes acid rain H2SO4.

Now we have our limestone which is CaCO3.

What happens is that the acid breaks apart our limestone into Ca2+ and CO3 2-. This then reforms into Calcium bicarbonate Ca(CO3)2.

Calcium bicarbonate is soluble in water and is hence washed away by the rain eroding the limestone.

Carbon atoms naturally bond with each other in chains, rings, or networks, but they cannot bond with oxygen or nitrogen
mamaluj [8]

False

Explanation:

Carbon atoms are found in hydrocarbons, naturally occurring compound with carbon and hydrogen, but there are molecules in nature that contain beside carbon and hydrogen, oxygen and nitrogen too. In this compounds there are carbon-oxygen and carbon-nitrogen covalent bonds.

Bellow you may see the chemical structure of adrenaline, a hormon found in the human body, were the oxygen (red) and nitrogen (blue) are bonded to carbon.
