Answer:

1.3 kg

Explanation:

Mass of ocean water = mass of NaCl × (mass of ocean water/mass NaCl).

The % NaCl tells us there are 3.5 g NaCl/100 g ocean water or 100 g ocean water/3.5 g NaCl.

Mass of ocean water = 46.8 × (100/3.5)

Mass of ocean water = 46.8 × 28.6

Mass of ocean water = 1300 g = 1.3 kg

Note: The answer can have only two significant figures because that is all you gave for the percentage of NaCl.

Aliun [14]

Answer:

"1.4 mL" is the appropriate solution.

Explanation:

According to the question,

$v_0=500$
$\alpha =1.12\times 10^{-4}$
$\Delta \epsilon = 25$

Now,

Increase in volume will be:

⇒ $\Delta V = \alpha\times v_0\times \Delta \epsilon$

By putting the given values, we get

$=1.12\times 10^{-4}\times 500\times 25$

$=1.12\times 10^{-4}\times 12500$

$=1.4 \ mL$

Determine the percentage composition (by mass) of oxygen in NH4NO3.

Brrunno [24]

Answer:

60%

Explanation:

M(NH4NO3) = 2*14 +4*1 +3*16 = 80 g/mol

M(3O) = 3*16 = 48 g/mol

(48/80) *100 % =60% oxygen by mass.
