The answer is <span>B. element.

An element is composed of only one kind of atom and cannot be separated into simpler substances. Oxygen (O) is the element.
A compound is a substance composed </span><span>of two or more <em>different </em>atoms chemically bonded to one another, for example, water (H</span>₂<span>O) consists of 2 atoms of hydrogen (H) and 1 atom of oxygen (O), so it is the compound.
A mixture consists of two or more substances that are not chemically combined. Solutions and colloids are mixtures.</span>

rank the four gases (air, exhaled air, gas produced from the decomposition of H2O2, gas from decomposition of NaHCO3, in order o
SVEN [57.7K]

Answer: H₂O₂ (94%) > Air (23%) > Exhaled air (13%) > NaHCO₃ (0%)


Initial important note:


Although NaHCO₃ contents oxygen atoms, and you can calculate its compositoin, the resulting gas does not containg pure oxygen gas (O₂). For the comparisson it is not useful to calculate the content of oxygent atoms, but the concentration of O₂ gas. As such, the gas from NaHCO₃ contains 0% of pure O₂, that is why it is ranked last.


1) Air:


Source: internet


Approximate 23%. It is variable, because air is not a pure substance but a mixture of gases, whose compositon is not unique.


2) Exhaled air:


Source: internet.


Approximate 13%. The compositon of the air changes in our lungs, due to the respiration process: we inhale fresh air with around 23% of oxygen, part of this oxygen pass to the cells (lungs - blood - heart - cells) and then it is exhaled with a lower content of air and a greater content of CO₂


3) Air from the decomposition of H₂O₂.


In this case we can do a chemical calculation, since we can state the chemical equation of the reaction:


i) Chemical Equation:


H₂O₂ (g) → H₂ (g) + O₂ (g)


ii) mole ratio of the products 1 mol H₂ : 1 mol O₂


iii) convert moles into mass (grams)


1 mol H₂ × 2 × 1.008 g/mol = 2.016 g


1 mol O₂ × 2 × 15.999 g/mol = 31.998 g


Composition, % = [31.998 g / (2.016 g + 31.998 g) ] × 100 ≈ 94%



4) Air from the decomposition of NaHCO₃:


i) chemical equation:


2 NaHCO₃(s) → Na₂CO₃(s) + CO₂(g) + H₂O(g)


ii) mole ratio: take into account only the gases in the products:


1 mol CO₂ (g) : 1 mol H₂O


iii) mass in grams


CO₂: molar mass ia approximately 44.01 g/mol


H₂O: molar mass is approximately 18.02 g/mol


iii) Those gases although have oxygen atoms, do not hae free oxygen gas, which is what we are compariing. That means, that from the decomposition of NaHCO₃ you get 0% oxygen gas.


5) The result is:


H₂O₂ (94%) > Air (23%) > Exhaled air (13%) > NaHCO₃ (0%)

How much mass defect is required to release 5.5 x 1020 J of energy?
Montano1993 [528]

Answer : The mass defect required to release energy is 6111.111 kg

Explanation :

To calculate the mass defect for given energy released, we use Einstein's equation:

E=\Delta mc^2

E = Energy released = 5.5\times 10^{20}J

\Delta m = mass change = ?

c = speed of light = 3\times 10^8m/s

Now put all the given values in above equation, we get:

5.5\times 10^{20}Kgm^2/s^2=\Delta m\times (3\times 10^8m/s)^2

\Delta m=6111.111kg

Therefore, the mass defect required to release energy is 6111.111 kg
