To find percent composition do "parts over the whole" ---> each individual mass over the total mass times 100 (since it is a percentage). 

total mass ("the whole")= 73.5 + 42.0 + 72.3 grams= 150 grams

1. Carbon %= 73.5 grams/ 150 grams x 100= 49.0%

2. Hydrogen %= 4.20 grams/ 150 grams x 100= 2.80%

3. Chlorine %= 72.3 grams/ 150 grams x 100= 48.2%

Using the balanced chemical equation below. 2Al2O3 --> 4Al + 3O2 How many moles of oxygen are produced if 11.0 mol of Al are
PSYCHO15rus [73]

Answer:

8.25 moles of oxygen will be produced.

Explanation:

Given a balanced chemical equation;

2Al₂O₃ ------> 4Al + 3O₂

from the balanced chemical equation above, 3 moles of Oxygen are produced when 4 moles of Aluminum are produced.

4 moles of Al --------> 3 moles of Oxygen

11 moles of Al --------> ?

= \frac{(3 \ moles \ of \ O_2) \ \times \ (11 \ moles \ of \ Al)}{4 \ moles \ of \ Al} = 8.25 \ moles \ of \ O_2 \\\\

Therefore, 8.25 moles of oxygen will be produced.

A student mixes a solution of lead (II) nitrate with a solution of potassium iodide and notices the formation of a yellow solid.
ioda

Answer:

Lead (II) iodide

Explanation:

The reaction of lead (II) nitrate, Pb(NO₃)₂ with KI is:

Pb(NO₃)₂(aq) + 2KI(aq) → KNO₃(aq) + PbI₂(s)

This is a typical double-replacement reaction where anions and cations exchange its couple.

All nitrates are solubles, thus, KNO₃ is not the precipitate.

The only possibility of precipitate is PbI₂,

Lead (II) iodide, a yellow and insoluble solid...
