Convert 72g of water into moles of water using molecular weights.
So water is H2O so add up those molecular weights (H=1 and O=16)
2(1)+(16) = 18 g/mol
Then convert so 72g / (18 g/mol) = 4 mol
Now you can convert mol of water to mol of oxygen. So 4 mol of water is 4 mol of oxygen. Then use oxygen molecular weight to find grams again.
4 mol oxygen * 16 g/mol = 64g of oxygen
If we were doing hydrogen instead of oxygen there would be 8 mol hydrogen in 4 mol of water (2 H’s in every H2O molecule) and since we have 74 grams and oxygen is 64 grams, Hydrogen should be 8 grams. Math to check below
8 mol hydrogen * 1 g/mol = 8g of hydrogen
It all adds to 72 so we are correct.
Elements. Elements cannot be further separated as they are the most basic substances.
Colligative properties are properties of solutions that result from adding solute to a solvent and that depend on the concentration of solute particles, but independent of the identity of the solute molecules or ions. The four colligative properties are boiling point elevation, freezing point depression, osmotic pressure, and vapor pressure lowering.
