Find the proportion, and multiply it by 100 to get the percentage.
The proportion is 2.9/3.1=0.935
The percentage is 0.935*100=93.5

Answer: 93.54%

Explanation: Divide the mass of the zinc by the total mass of the penny.

2.9/3.1=0.9354

To get to a percent, multiply by 100.

0.9354 x 100 = 93.54

The mass of the zinc in the penny is 93.54%.

A 2.241-g sample of nickel reacts with oxygen to form 2.852 g of the metal oxide. Calculate the empirical formula of the oxide?
astraxan [27]

Answer:

NiO

Explanation:

Firstly, we need to know the mass of oxygen used up. This is the difference between the mass of the nickel and the mass of the oxide. This is : 2.852 - 2.241 = 0.611g

Now we convert these masses to mole by dividing by their atomic masses. The atomic mass of oxygen is 16 while that of nickel is 59

O = 0.611/16 = 0.0381875

Ni = 2.241/59 = 0.037983050847458

The next thing is to divide each by the smaller number of moles, which is that of the nickel.

O = 0381875 /0.037983050847458= 1

Ni= 0.037983050847458/0.037983050847458= 1

The empirical formula is thus NiO

There is a very slight change in gravity at the top of a mountain. Which property would most likely be less at the top of a moun
torisob [31]

Answer:

The entity that decreases is the Weight.

Explanation:

Every object on the surface of the earth is usually pulled downwards by the action of gravity. The force or weight is W = mg

Now, the farther one gets away from the surface of the earth by climbing a mountain, the further the person is from the Earth's centre of gravity.

We know that the formula for Force of gravity away from the Earth's surface is given by;

F_g = GM1M2/r²

So the greater the distance, the lesser the gravitational force.

Now, the gravitational force equals the weight of the individual.

Thus, the entity that decreases is the Weight of the individual.
