Answer:

C. 70%

Explanation:

Atomic Mass of the silicon = 28 g.

Atomic mass of the Carbon = 12 g.

Total mass of the Silicon Carbide = 28 + 12

= 40 g.

Now, Using the formula.

% Composition = Mass of the silicon/Total mass of the compound × 100 %

= 28/40 × 100 %

= 70 %

Hence, % composition of the silicon in SiC is 70%

Given:
bulgar [2K]

Answer:

The combustion of 59.7 grams of methane releases 3320.81 kilojoules of energy

Explanation:

Given;

CH₄ + 2O₂ → CO₂ + 2H₂O, ΔH = -890 kJ/mol

From the combustion reaction above, it can be observed that;

1 mole of methane (CH₄) released 890 kilojoules of energy.

Now, we convert 59.7 grams of methane to moles

CH₄ = 12 + (1x4) = 16 g/mol

59.7 g of CH₄ = \frac{59.7}{16} = 3.73125 \ moles

1 mole of methane (CH₄) released 890 kilojoules of energy

3.73125 moles of methane (CH₄) will release ?

= 3.73125 moles x  -890 kJ/mol

= -3320.81 kJ

Therefore, the combustion of 59.7 grams of methane releases 3320.81 kilojoules of energy

How many protons, electrons, and neutrons does the following isotope contain?<br> 27 A13+
Lapatulllka [165]

Hey there!

27 tells us the sum of protons and neutrons is 27.

Al tells us we have 13 protons.

3+ tells us that there are 3 less electrons than protons.

13 + n = 27

neutrons = 14

13 - 3 = 10 electrons

27Al3+ has 13 protons, 14 neutrons, and 10 electrons.

Hope this helps!
