73.5 grams C, 4.20 grams H, and 72.3 grams Cl. What is the percent composition of each element in this compound?

1 answer:

6 0

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%

Air has a mass of 1.2g and a volume of 4,555ml. What is the density

coldgirl [10]

Answer:

<h2>Density = 0.00026 g/mL</h2>

Explanation:

The density of a substance can be found by using the formula

<h3> $Density(\rho) = \frac{mass}{volume}$ </h3>

From the question

mass of air = 1.2 g

volume = 4,555 mL

Substitute the values into the above formula and solve for the density

That's

<h3> $Density = \frac{1.2}{4555}$ </h3>

= 0.0002634

We have the final answer as

<h3>Density = 0.00026 g/mL</h3>

Hope this helps you
