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 %

In the reaction of nitrogen gas with oxygen gas to produce nitrogen oxide, what is the effect of adding more oxygen gas to the i
Alborosie
<h3>Answer:</h3>

The Equilibrium would shift to produce more NO

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

The reaction is;

N₂(g) + O₂(g) ⇆ 2NO(g)

  • When a reaction is at equilibrium then the forward reaction rate will be equivalent to the reverse reaction rate. Additionally, the concentration of the reactants and products are the same.
  • From Le Chatelier's principle, additional reactants favor the formation of more products while additional products favor the formation of more reactants.
  • For example, when more oxygen is added then more Nitrogen (II) oxide will be formed.
  • Oxygen is a reactant and when increased it favors forward reaction which leads to the formation of more NO which is the product.

The value of the solubility product constant for Ag2CO3 is 8.5 × 10‒12 and that of Ag2CrO4 is 1.1 × 10‒12. From this data, what
Lena [83]

Answer:

B) 7.7

Explanation:

For the reaction    Ag2CO3(s) + CrO42‒(aq) → Ag2CrO4(s) + CO32‒(aq)

Kc = (CO₃²⁻) / (CrO₄²⁻)

and the Ksp given are

Ag₂CO₃    ⇒  2 Ag⁺(aq) + CO₃²⁻(aq)    Ksp₁ = (Ag⁺)²(CO₃²⁻)  

Ag₂CrO₄   ⇒  2 Ag⁺(aq)+ CrO₄²⁻(aq)   Ksp₂ = (Ag⁺)²(CrO₄²⁻)

Where (...) indicate concentrations M

Notice if we divide the expressions for Ksp we get:

Ksp₁/Ksp₂ = (CO₃²⁻)  / (CrO₄²⁻) = 8.5 x 10⁻¹² / 1.1 x 10⁻¹² = 7.7

which is the desired answer.

Antoine Lavoisier burned metals in sealed jars. What is your prediction of his experimental results?
Aliun [14]

Answer:

The mass of the jar and contents remained the same after the metal was burned.

Explanation:

My prediction about the experimental results is that  the mass of the jar and contents remained the same after the metal was burned in the jar.

This is compliance with the law of conservation of mass which states that in a chemical reaction, matter is neither created nor destroyed by bonds are rearranged for new compounds to form.

  • In compliance with this law, it is expected that the mass of the jar and its content will remain the same before and after the reaction.
  • No new material was added and no material was removed from the jar.

A teacher is preparing the materials list for an activity that all 6th graders will
Greeley [361]

Answer:

There are 1000 mg in 1. g

There are 1000 g in 1 kg

Each students needs 2,250 mg of clay

Explanation:

In order to determine the amount of how many kilograms to order, the teacher will need to find out the total mass of clay required by the students and then the teacher will have to convert the total mass to the units required for the purchase.

The teacher would have to find out how many milligrams make one kilogram as follows

1 kg = 1000 g

1 g = 1000 mg

Therefore, 2,250 mg = 2250/1000 g = 2.25 g

2.25 g = 2.25/1000 kg = 0.00225 kg.
