Answer:

80.0 %

Explanation:

As per the law of conservation of mass all the mass of carbon present in the hydrocarbon weighing 112 g is present in the 328.5 g of carbon dioxide produced when the hydrocarbon was burned in air.

1) Calculate the mass of carbon in 328.5 g of carbon dioxide:

Chemical formula of carbon dioxide: CO₂

Molar mass of CO₂: 12.011 g/mol + 2 × 15.999 g/mol = 44.009 g/mol

Mass of C: x

x / 328.5 g CO₂ = 12.011 g C / 44.009 g/mol ⇒ x = 86.65 g C

2) Calculate the percent mass of carbon:

% = (mass of carbon / mass of carbon dioxide) × 100 =

= (89.65 / 112) × 100 = 80.04%

Round to three signifcant figures: 80.0%.

What is the identity of the element, and how many neutrons does it have? An elements most stable ion forms an ionic compound wit

Pani-rosa [81]

Answer:

B. CA, 14

Explanation:

Atoms of elements contain small particles known as electrons, neutrons, and protons. The nucleus of an atom is made up of neutrons and protons which are at the center of the atom. Electrons on the other hand surrounds the nucleus. Electron has negative charge while proton has a positive charge. The number of neutrons is equivalent to the number of protons . In addition, the number of protons is equal to mass number minus the number of electrons.

For the compound $XCl_{2}$ , it can be broken down into $X^{2+}$ and $2Cl^{-}$ . Its ion has a mass of 34 and 18 electrons which means it has already lost 2 electrons.

Therefore:

For the given element, the number of electrons is 18+2 = 20 electrons.

The number of protons = 34 - 20 = 14.

And the number of neutrons is 14.

Only option B has the correct answer.

Consider these changes.

Ede4ka [16]

Answer:

(a) The system does work on the surroundings.

(b) The surroundings do work on the system.

(d) No work is done.

Explanation:

The work (W) done in a chemical reaction can be calculated using the following expression:

W = -R.T.Δn(g)

where,

R is the ideal gas constant

T is the absolute temperature

Δn(g) is the difference between the gaseous moles of products and the gaseous moles of reactants

R and T are always positive.

If Δn(g) > 0, W < 0, which means that the system does work on the surroundings.

If Δn(g) < 0, W > 0, which means that the surroundings do work on the system.

If Δn(g) = 0, W = 0, which means that no work is done.

(a) Hg(l) ⇒ Hg(g)

Δn(g) = 1 - 0 = 1. W < 0. The system does work on the surroundings.

(b) 3 O₂(g) ⇒ 2 O₃(g)

Δn(g) = 2 - 3 = -1. W > 0. The surroundings do work on the system.

(c) CuSO₄.5H₂O(s) ⇒ CuSO₄(s) + 5H₅O(g)

Δn(g) = 5 - 0 = 5. W < 0. The system does work on the surroundings.

(d) H₂(g) + F₂(g) ⇒ 2 HF(g)

Δn(g) = 2 - 2 = 0. W = 0. No work is done.
