Answer:

atomic mass of X is 48.0 amu

Explanation:

Let y be the atomic mass of X

Molar mass of O_2 is = 2×16 = 32 g / mol

X + O2 -----> XO_2

According to the equation ,

y g of X reacts with 32 g of O_2

24 g of X reacts with Z g of O_2

Z = ( 32×24) / y

But given that 24.0 g of X exactly reacts with 16.0 g of O_2

So Z = 16.0

⇒ (32×24) / y = 16.0

⇒ y = (32×24) / 16

y= 48.0

So atomic mass of X is 48.0 amu

Answer:

2.1 × 10⁻¹ M

2.0 × 10⁻¹ m

Explanation:

Molarity

The molar mass of aniline (solute) is 93.13 g/mol. The moles corresponding to 3.9 g are:

3.9 g × (1 mol/93.13 g) = 0.042 mol

The volume of the solution is 200 mL (0.200 L). The molarity of aniline is:

M = 0.042 mol/0.200 L = 0.21 M = 2.1 × 10⁻¹ M

Molality

The moles of solute are 0.042 mol.

The density of the solvent is 1.05 g/mL. The mass corresponding to 200 mL is:

200 mL × 1.05 g/mL = 210 g = 0.210 kg

The molality of aniline is:

m = 0.042 mol/0.210 kg = 0.20 m = 2.0 × 10⁻¹ m

The four elements that make up about 96% of body matter are ________.
AveGali [126]

An element is a pure substance that cannot be separated or divided into simpler substances by any method (physical or chemical). The four common elements in all the living organisms are carbon, oxygen, hydrogen, nitrogen.

Thus, the four elements that make up about 96 % of body matter are carbon, oxygen, hydrogen, nitrogen (c).
