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.)

other end of the see-saw is a piece of

Plasticine.

Iron wool can combust. Your teacher is

going to make the iron wool combust by

heating it.

If there is a change in mass, the see-saw

I need help understanding polyatomic ions
Vinvika [58]
A polyatomic ion, also known as a molecular ion, is a charged chemical species (ion) composed of two or more atoms covalently bonded or of a metal complex that can be considered to be acting as a single unit. The prefix poly- means "many," in Greek, but even ions of two atoms are commonly referred to as polyatomic

The immediate source of energy that powers a cell’s activities is
Alja [10]
<span>1. The correct option is ADENOSINE TRIPHOSPHATE, ATP. ATP is the basic unit of energy transfer in the living cells. ATP is the principal energy source for metabolic functions, in the cells, ATP are consumed by endothermic metabolic reactions and they are produced by exothermic metabolic reactions.

2. To form ATP, A THIRD PHOSPHATE GROUP HAS TO BE ADDED TO ADP. ADP has two phosphate groups while ATP has three phosphate group. ADP is usulally converted to ATP by the addition of a single phosphate group.

3. ADP and ATP work together and the two can be interconverted. ATP can be hydrolysed to ADP and ADP can be converted to ATP by the addition of a single phosphate group. When energy is needed inside a cell, the ATP will split off one of its phosphate group and become ADP. This split off process produce a high qunatity of energy which is then available for the cell to use.</span>
