Assuming the question is asking for percent composition by mass,

The molar mass of sodium bicarbonate is:

22.990 + 1.008 + 12.011 + 3*15.999 = 84.006 g/mol

The molar mass of 3 oxygen atoms is:

3*15.999 = 47.997 g/mol

The percentage composition by mass is:

47.997/84.006 * 100% = 57.1% (3 s.f.)

A sample of a compound is found to contain 40.0% carbon, 6.7% hydrogen, and 53.3% oxygen. What is the empirical formula of this
Shtirlitz [24]

Answer:

The empirical formula is CH2O, and the molecular formula is some multiple of this

Explanation:

In 100 g of the unknown, there are 40.0⋅g12.011⋅g⋅mol−1 C;  6.7⋅g1.00794⋅g⋅mol−1 H; and  53.5⋅g16.00⋅g⋅mol−1 O.

We divide thru to get, C:H:O = 3.33:6.65:3.34. When we divide each elemental ratio by the LOWEST number, we get an empirical formula of CH2O, i.e. near enough to WHOLE numbers. Now the molecular formula is always a multiple of the empirical formula; i.e. (EF)n=MF.So 60.0⋅g⋅mol−1=n×(12.011+2×1.00794+16.00)g⋅mol−1.Clearly n=2, and the molecular formula is 2×(CH2O) = CxHyOz.

1. How much energy (in KJ) is required to convert 50.0g of ice at – 30 ˚C to<br> steam at130˚C.
Vitek1552 [10]

Answer:

How much heat energy required to convert following?

How much heat energy, in kilojoules, is required to convert 47.0 g of ice at -18.0 C to water at 25.0 C ?

Specific Heat of Ice - 2.09 j/g * c

This is how I did it and the answer is wrong...Please check and correct me

Q = m * Cice * Change in Temp

Q = (47.0 g)(2.09 J/g*c)(43) = 4222.6 J * 0.001 kj / j = 4.22 kj

Zn(s) + 2HCl(aq) mc029-1.jpg H2(g) + ZnCl2(aq) Which product is a substance that is dissolved in solution?
nexus9112 [7]
The product that is dissolved in the solution would be the salt zinc chloride. It is a substance that is soluble in water so it should be dissolved in the solution. Also, from the reaction, the sign (aq) is written. It means that this substance is in aqueous solution.

How many moles is 34.4 g of Oxygen gas (O2)?
jasenka [17]

Answer:

n = 1.075  moles

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of oxygen = 34.4 gram

The molar mass of oxygen gas = 32 g/mol

We need to find the number of moles of oxygen. We know that,

No. of moles = given mass/molar mass

So,

n=\dfrac{34.4\ g}{32\ g/mol}\\\\=1.075\ mol

So, there are 1.075  moles in 34.4 g of Oxygen gas.
