Mass percentage is defined as the ratio of mass of the element to the total mass of the compound.

The formula of mass percentage is given by:

Mass percentage = \frac{mass  of  the  element}{total  mass  of  the  compound}\times 100                  (1)

mass of nitrogen = 56.00 grams

Let x be the total mass of the compound.

Put the given values in formula (1):

\frac{36.86}{100} =\frac{56.00 g}{x}

x= \frac{100}{36.86}\times 56 g

x=  151.92 g

total mass of the compound = 151.92 g

To calculate the mass of oxygen in grams, subtract the mass of nitrogen from the total mass of the compound.

Mass of oxygen =  151.92 g - 56 .00 g = 95.92 g

Thus, mass of oxygen in grams = 95.92 grams.

If a gas sample has a pressure of 30.7 kPa at 0.00*C, by how much does the temperature have to decrease to lower the pressure to
Scrat [10]

Answer:

                      252.68 K  or   -20.46 °C

Explanation:

                    According to Gay-Lussac's Law, "Pressure and Temperature at given volume are directly proportional to each other".

Mathematically,

                                              P₁ / T₁  =  P₂ / T₂   ---- (1)

Data Given:

                  P₁  =  30.7 kPa

                  T₁  =  0.00 °C  =  273.15 K

                  P₂  =  28.4 kPa

                  T₂  =  <u>???</u>

Solving equation for T₂,

                  T₂  =  P₂ T₁ / P₁

Putting values,

                  T₂  =  28.4 kPa × 273.15 K / 30.7 kPa

                  T₂  =  252.68 K  or   -20.46 °C

A car travels 150 meters in 3.5 seconds what is its speed?
defon

Answer:

The solution is given below.

Explanation:

Speed   = Distance(m)/Time(sec.)

Distance traveled = 150 m

Time taken = 3.5 seconds

Speed of car = 150/3.5 = 42.86 m/s

So the car traveled at a speed of 42.86 m/s.
