Answer:

The percentage by mass of element X is 25 %.

The percentage by mass of element Y is 75 %

Explanation:

X + Y ⇒ XY

3.5 g of element X + 10.5 g of element Y = 14g in total

⇒Element X : 3.5g / 14g = 0.25 ⇒ x 100 % = 25 %

⇒Element Y : 10.5 / 14 = 0.75 ⇒ x 100 % = 75 %

The percentage by mass of element X is 25 %.

The percentage by mass of element Y is 75 %

Draw a mechanism for the reaction of water with formic acid. In the box to the left, draw any necessary curved arrows. Show the
dsp73

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

When water reacts with formic acid, The following equilibrium is set up;

HCOOH(aq) + H20(l) ⇄ HCOO-(aq) + H30+(aq)

This is because, the water abstracts a proton from formic acid to form its conjugate base, formate ion.

At equilibrium,  the forward is favored.

A student observed a chemical reaction in which the mass of the products was measured to be less than the mass of the reactants.
nika2105 [10]

There chemical reactions that can realise or absorb gas to the atmosphere. This means it is harder or impossible to measure it with normal weighing devices and normal taring equipment. As a principal in chemical reactions we have conservation of mass.

You have identified a substance to be solid in nature. which characteristics will justify your identification?
weeeeeb [17]
This question includes four answer choices: A. definite volume, highest molecular motion, highest kinetic energy B. indefinite volume, least molecular motion, highest kinetic energy C. definite volume, least molecular motion, lowest kinetic energy D. definite volume, no molecular motion, lowest kinetic energy Solids do not have the highest molecular motion (on the contrary they have the least molecular motion), so you can discard option A. Solids have a definite volume and the highest kinetic energy (given that they have the least molecular motion), so you discard option C. Molecules always have a vibrational motion, so you discard option D. Option C, have only characteristics that correctly describes a solid: definite volume, least molecular motion, lowest kinetic energy. Therefore, the answer is the option C. <span /><span>
