Formula to find the percent composition of an element in a compound is
.
Now enter the variables into the formula.
%
Round to 3 significant figures. 15.897% = 15.9%
The answer is 15.9% H
Answer:
answer A
Explanation:
A) the quantity of usable energy declines with each transformation → True . Since the entropy increases , the amount of energy that can not be converted to useful energy increases and since the total amount of energy is conserved, the quantity of useful energy decreases.
B) energy can be neither created nor destroyed → False in the context of entropy , since the energy is conserved regardless of the changes in entropy (First law → conservation of energy vs second law → increase of entropy)
C) life should be impossible → False . Since the second law states that the entropy of the <u>universe </u>increases with time . Then the system (life) can experience a decrease in entropy at the expense of a larger increase in entropy of the surroundings ( so the net increase is positive)
D) it is not possible to observe an increase in molecular organisation → False . Same as C. A system can experience a decrease in entropy at the expense of a larger increase in entropy of the surroundings ( so the net increase is positive)
Answer:
positive force → balanced force → negative force

Answer: 
incorporates both ionic bonding and covalent bonding.
Explanation:
A covalent bond is formed when an element shares its valence electron with another element. This bond is formed between two non metals.
An ionic bond is formed when an element completely transfers its valence electron to another element. The element which donates the electron is known as electropositive element and the element which accepts the electrons is known as electronegative element. This bond is formed between a metal and an non-metal.
For formation of a neutral ionic compound, the charges on cation and anion must be balanced. The cation is formed by loss of electrons by metals and anions are formed by gain of electrons by non metals.
Here potassium is having an oxidation state of +1 called as 
cation and nitrate 
is an anion with oxidation state of -1. Thus they combine and their oxidation states are exchanged and written in simplest whole number ratios to give neutral .
is formed by sharing of electrons between two non metals nitrogen and oxygen.
Thus incorporates both ionic bonding and covalent bonding.
