A compound is formed when 171.2 g of carbon reacts with 28.8 g of hydrogen. What is the mass percent of hydrogen in the compound

IgorLugansk [536]3 years ago

Following the law of conservation of mass, the mass percent of hydrogen in the resulting compound is 14.4%(wt/wt). This is assuming that all of the carbon reacts with all of the hydrogen. The solution is as follows:

mass % = mass hydrogen*100/total mass = 28.8*100/(28.8+171.2) = 14.4%

What makes slime, slime?
Naya [18.7K]
Slime flows like a liquid, but unlike familiar liquids (e.g., oil, water), its ability to flow, or viscosity, is not constant. So it's a fluid, but not a regular liquid. Scientists call a material that changes viscosity a non-Newtonian fluid. The technical explanation is that slime is a fluid that changes its ability to resist deformation according to shear or tensile stress.

What this means is, when you pour slime or let it ooze through your fingers, it has a low viscosity and flows like a thick liquid. When you squeeze a non-Newtonian slime, like oobleck, or pound it with your fist, it feels hard, like a wet solid. This is because applying stress squeezes the particles in the slime together, making it hard for them to slide against each other.

Most types of slime are also examples of polymers. Polymers are molecules made by linking together chains of subunits.


The specifics of how a type of slime works depends on its chemical composition, but the basic explanation is that chemicals are mixed to form polymers. The polymers act as a net, with molecules sliding against each other.


Two solutions are combined to make classic slime. One is diluted school glue, or polyvinyl alcohol in water. The other solution is borax (Na2B4O7.10H2O) in water.
Borax dissolves in water into sodium ions, Na+, and tetraborate ions.
The tetraborate ions react with water to produce the OH- ion and boric acid:
B4O72-(aq) + 7 H2O <—> 4 H3BO3(aq) + 2 OH-(aq)
Boric acid reacts with water to form borate ions:
H3BO3(aq) + 2 H2O <— > B(OH)4-(aq) + H3O+(aq)
Hydrogen bonds form between the borate ion and the OH groups of the polyvinyl alcohol molecules from the glue, linking them together to form a new polymer: slime.

vekshin1
<h2>Answer : Option C) Joseph is observing the color of the reaction mixture to see whether proteins are present in the given solution.</h2><h3>Explanation :</h3>

An example of qualitative observation is the one where one uses the five senses to identify the changes in the reaction.

Here, when Joseph is studying a reaction mixture he is trying to observe a color change which will confirm that there is proteins present in the reaction mixture or not If there is a color change observed then it will confirm the presence of proteins.

Usually qualitative observations are those which can be easily predicted by using five senses.
