Answer: CF4

Explanation:

Calculate the molar mass of each compound. Divide the molar mass of Carbon by the molar mass of each compound, then multiply the answer by 100 to get the percentage.

CF4= 12+(19X 4)

=12+76= 88 g/mol

%C= 12/88 x 100= 13.64%

CO2= 12+(16 X 2)

12+32= 44 G/MOL

%C= 12/44 x 100= 27.3%

CH4= 12+ (1 X4)

=12+4

=16 G/MOL

%C= 12/16  X 100= 75%

C204

(12X2) + (16X4)

24+64

= 88 g/mol

%C= 24/88 x 100

= 27.3%

What is an ideal gas? how many ideal gases are there in the universe?
tiny-mole [99]
Ideal gases are hypothetical gases whose molecules occupy negligible space and have no interactions, and that consequently obeys the gas laws exactly.
Not exactly sure about the amount...
I hope this helps! :)

Increasing temperature can:
umka21 [38]

The answer would be A. You cannot decrease mass because of increasing temp so it can't be C and adding neutrons or protons would be changing the atom and therefore the element, and that is not possible through just an increase of temperature, so it can't be B or D. Hope this was helpful! ;)

A 0.4272 g sample of an element contains 2.241 x 10 ^21 atoms . what is the symbol of the element?
grin007 [14]

Answer:

Likely \rm In (indium.)

Explanation:

Number of atoms: N = 2.241 \times 10^{21}.

Dividing, N, the number of atoms by the Avogadro constant, N_A \approx 6.023 \times 10^{23} \; \rm mol^{-1}, would give the number of moles of atoms in this sample:

\begin{aligned} n &= \frac{N}{N_{A}} \\ &\approx \frac{2.241 \times 10^{21}}{6.023 \times 10^{23}\; \rm mol^{-1}} \approx 3.72 \times 10^{-3}\; \rm mol \end{aligned}.

The mass of that many atom is m = 0.4272\; \rm g. Estimate the average mass of one mole of atoms in this sample:

\begin{aligned}M &= \frac{m}{n} \\ &\approx \frac{0.4272\; \rm g}{3.72 \times 10^{-3}\; \rm mol} \approx 114.82\; \rm g \cdot mol^{-1}\end{aligned}.

The average mass of one mole of atoms of an element (114.82\; \rm g \cdot mol^{-1} in this example) is numerically equal to the average atomic mass of that element. Refer to a modern periodic table and look for the element with average atomic mass 114.82. Indium, \rm In, is the closest match.
