Answer:

15.3 %

Explanation:

Step 1: Given data

  • Mass of the sample (ms): 230 g
  • Mass of carbon (mC); 136.6 g
  • Mass of hydrogen (mH): 26.4 g
  • Mass of nitrogen (mN): 31.8 g

Step 2: Calculate the mass of oxygen (mO)

The mass of the sample is equal to the sum of the masses of all the elements.

ms = mC + mH + mN + mO

mO = ms - mC - mH - mN

mO = 230 g - 136.6 g - 26.4 g - 31.8 g

mO = 35.2 g

Step 3: Calculate the mass percent of oxygen

%O = (mO / ms) × 100% = (35.2 g / 230 g) × 100% = 15.3 %

Calling all chemists...please help me!  Ive attached a screen shot of the problem
Olin [163]
This is an acid-base reaction where HF is the acid and H2O is the base (it's amphoteric and can be an acid or a base). The products would then H3O+ (the conjugate acid) and F- (the conjugate base). Now, we can simply construct a reaction using the found products and reactants. This acid-base reaction would be HF + H2O <--> H3O+ + F-.

Hope this helps!

Knowing the chemical properties of a substance will tell you how the substance
ratelena [41]
<span>Whereas physical properties of a substance tells us about how the substance looks, smells, etc, the chemical properties of a substance basically tells us how the substance will react with other substances. Therefore, knowing the chemical property of a substance tells us how the substance reacts with others.Hope this helps. Let me know if you need additional help!</span><span />

Which causes waves in the ocean to occur?​
galina1969 [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

C. energy being transferred from wind

Waves are most commonly caused by wind. Wind-driven waves, or surface waves, are created by the friction between wind and surface water. As wind blows across the surface of the ocean or a lake, the continual disturbance creates a wave crest.  The gravitational pull of the sun and moon on the earth also causes waves.
