Answer:

16.933g approximately 17.0 grams

Explanation:

From the simple promotions and given the same compound ascorbic acid (vitamin C)

In the laboratory synthesised ascorbic acid

Mass of carbon = 30.0g

Mas of Oxygen = 40.0g

That is the mass of Oxygen per unit mass of Carbon

Per gram of Carbon we have

(30.0g Carbon)÷30 combines with (40.0g of Oxygen)÷30

That is 4/3g of Oxygen per gram of Carbon

Hence the mass of Oxygen compound that combines with 12.7g of Carbonin natural occurring ascorbic acid (vitamin C) is = 4/3×12.7 = 16.933g approximately 17.0g

Using the measurements in the table, determine which unidentified metal has the lowest density
Oliga [24]
C is the correct answer because density is mass per unit volume and when you divide it we that volume is greater than mass so density is less density density is directly proportional to Mass Density is inversely proportional to volume

Answer:

<h3>The answer is 8.29 %</h3>

Explanation:

The percentage error of a certain measurement can be found by using the formula

P(\%) =  \frac{error}{actual \:  \: number}  \times 100\% \\

From the question

actual density = 19.30g/L

error = 20.9 - 19.3 = 1.6

We have

p(\%) =  \frac{1.6}{19.3}  \times 100 \\  = 8.290155440...

We have the final answer as

<h3>8.29 %</h3>

Hope this helps you

Which statements about fresh-water sources are true.? (Multiple Choice) (please help asap thanks!:)
Kay [80]

Answer:

The correct answers are:
"Only about 3 percent of Earth's water is fresh water."

"About 75% percent of the fresh water on Earth is frozen in ice sheets."

"The largest source of usable fresh water is groundwater."

Explanation:

3 percent of Earth's water is most certainly fresh water. Confirmed with a few fact checks.

The largest source of usable fresh water on Earth is groundwater. It's more difficult to access but it's there and much more usable than water say frozen in ice on the sea.

The most correct option left would be 75% of Earth's freshwater being in ice sheets even though it's about 70%.

Which element is the excess reagent when 3.00 moles of Mg is ignited in 2.20 moles of pure oxygen
Artyom0805 [142]

Answer:

Oxygen is in excess.

Explanation:

The coefficients of the balanced equation create a mole ratio that shows the ratio of how many reactants are used up and products are created.  

The mole ratio of Mg to O2 in this equation is 2:1, which means that for every two moles of Mg used, there will be 1 mole of O2 used.

If we have 3.00 moles of Mg, we will only need 1.5 moles of oxygen to completely burn the Mg. Therefore, when all 3.00 moles of Mg are used, there will still be some of the 2.20 moles of oxygen remaining.
