What is the percent by mass of oxygen in carbon dioxide (CO2)?

Chemistry
1 answer:
wariber [46]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

= 72.73%

Explanation:

The percentage by mass of an element is given by;

% element = total mass of element in compounds/molar mass of compound × 100

The mass of oxygen in carbon dioxide = 32 g

Molar mass of CO2 = 44 g

Therefore;

% of O2 = 32/44 × 100%

             <u>= 72.73%</u>

Why is it better to give the actual speed of an object rather than to simply say it moved fast or it moved slowly
DIA [1.3K]
Specificity. It’s really loose to say that something is fast, since speed can be scalarly linked and relative. I could say that both a car on the highway is fast, but so is the speed of light. The actual speed of something helps to do away with the arbitrary nature of using “fast” and “slow”; however, we’re still at step one of the person who is receiving the information is unfamiliar with the scale that the actual speed is defined in.

How is the electron cloud model different from Bohr's atomic model?
Vesnalui [34]

Answer:

While Bohr's atomic model hypothesizes that electrons move in particular energy levels around the nucleus, the electron cloud model suggests that electrons move in an unpredictable pattern but are more likely to be in certain regions than others.

Cobalt-63 has a half-life of 5.3 years. If a pellet that has been in storage for 15.9 years contains 40.0g of Cobalt-63, how muc
Cerrena [4.2K]

Answer:

320 g  

Step-by-step explanation:

The half-life of Co-63 (5.3 yr) is the time it takes for half of it to decay.  

After one half-life, half (50 %) of the original amount will remain.  

After a second half-life, half of that amount (25 %) will remain, and so on.  

We can construct a table as follows:  

  No. of               Fraction         Mass

half-lives   t/yr   Remaining   Remaining/g

      0        0              1

      1         5.3           ½

     2        10.6           ¼

     3        15.9           ⅛                 40.0

     4        21.2           ¹/₁₆

We see that 40.0 g remain after three half-lives.

This is one-eighth of the original mass.

The mass of the original sample was 8 × 40 g = 320 g
