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%.

Calculate the volume of a balloon that can hold 113.4 g of nitrogen dioxide, NO2 gas at STP-
Karolina [17]

Answer:

55.18 L

Explanation:

First we convert 113.4 g of NO₂ into moles, using its molar mass:

  • 113.4 g ÷ 46 g/mol = 2.465 mol

Then we<u> use the PV=nRT formula</u>, where:

  • P = 1atm & T = 273K (This means STP)
  • n = 2.465 mol
  • R = 0.082 atm·L·mol⁻¹·K⁻¹
  • V = ?

Input the data:

  • 1 atm * V = 2.465 mol * 0.082atm·L·mol⁻¹·K⁻¹ * 273 K

And <u>solve for V</u>:

  • V = 55.18 L

Please help me with my 8th grade chemistry, I'm behind and don't understand it at all
padilas [110]

When a material is heated, the kinetic energy of that material increases and its atoms and molecules move about more. This means that each atom will take up more space due to its movement so the material will expand. ... Some metals expand more than others due to differences in the forces between the atoms / molecules.
