Litharge is a yellow oxide of lead with a formula of PbO, which is formed by heating lead metal in air. 
The mass of one mole of PbO is 223.2 grams
1 mole of PbO contains 16 g of oxygen
Therefore; the percentage of oxygen will be;
     (16/223.2) × 100 = 7.168 %

The  %  composition  by mass  of oxygen in litharge ( grams formula mass=223.2 g/mol) is  calculated as  below

%  composition is   percentage  by mass  of  each   element  in a  compound
which  is  calculated  as follows

%composition = molar mass  of element/molar  mass  of  compound  x100

The  molar mass of oxygen = 16 g/mol

therefore the % composition  = 16 g/mol/ 223.2 g/ mol  x100 = 7.17 %  of oxygen

3. If all the waves were measured for a period of 5 seconds, which wave had the highest frequency?
Vanyuwa [196]

Answer:

Correct answer is A.

Explanation:

Frequency is the number of oscillations that a wave have per unit time. Since time is measured in seconds, the wave with the highest frequency must register the highest number of oscillation per second. Hence, correct answer is A.

Evaporation is commonly used to concentrate dissolved solids in a liquid feed stream and produce pure water vapor.
Sergio [31]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

Evaporation is the process by which a substance changes its state from liquid to gas. evaporation occurs at all temperatures but it's rate increases as temperature increases.

Pure water vapour can be produced by evaporation.

As the liquids are removed, the solids present in solution becomes more concentrated.

If you need to reverse the following reaction in order for it to be an intermediate reaction in a Hess's law problem, what would
Olin [163]
When reversing a given reaction, we simply change the sign of the standard enthalpy change value. Therefore, the reaction will become:
H₂O → H₂ + 0.5O₂, ΔH = 286kJ
This is because if a certain amount of energy is released when a reaction occurs, the same amount of energy must be supplied for the reaction to occur in the reverse direction.
