Answer: The mass percent of hydrogen in ascorbic acid is 4.5 %

Explanation:

In C_6H_8O_6, there are 6 carbon atoms, 8 hydrogen atoms and 6 oxygen atoms.

To calculate the mass percent of element in a given compound, we use the formula:

\text{Mass percent of hydrogen}=\frac{\text{Mass of hydrogen}}{\text{Molar mass of ascorbic acid}}\times 100

Mass of hydrogen = 8\times 1g/mol=8g

Molar Mass of ascorbic acid =6\times 12g/mol+8\times 1g/mol+6\times 16g/mol=176g

Putting values in above equation, we get:

\text{Mass percent of hydrogen}=\frac{8g}{176}\times 100=4.5\%

Hence, the mass percent of of hydrogen in ascorbic acid is 4.5 %.

How much energy is needed to warm 7.40g of water by 55 degress C?
zloy xaker [14]
<span>E = mCdT
E = energy, m = mass, C = specific heat capacity, dT = change in temperature.
526 = 0.074C x 17
E = 0.074C x 55
Divide the equations
E/526 = (0.074C x 55)/(0.074C x 17) = 55/17
E = (55 x 526)/17 = 1702 J</span>

The first option is the correct.
Since we know the mass of one atom of Fe is 56 and that of Cl2 atoms is 71 (one atom has 35.5 mass) hence both of them will be consumed

Explain how carbon is conserved in the carbon cycle.
Sonja [21]

Most of the carbon is put away in sedimentary carbonates and kerogens, with the rest being spread between the sea, the air, biomass, for example, plants and creatures, and petroleum products

<u>Explanation</u>:

  • The carbon cycle is the procedure where carbon goes from the surrounding into living beings and to the Earth and then again goes into the air. Plants take carbon dioxide from the air and use it for food preparation. Creatures at that point eat the nourishment and carbon is put away in their bodies or discharged as CO2 through the breath.  
  • Most of the carbon is put away in sedimentary carbonates and kerogens, with the rest being spread between the sea, the air, biomass, for example, plants and creatures, and petroleum products. This is known as carbon storage.  
  • For instance, carbon, a fundamental component in natural particles, is preserved as it is moved from inorganic carbon in a biological system to natural atoms in living life forms of the biological system and back as inorganic carbon to the earth.
