First find the molar masses of all of the compounds:
SrCl2 = 158.53g/mol
SrI2 = 341.43g/mol
SrO = 103.62g/mol
SrS = 119.68g/mo

Then find the molar mass of Sr in each of the compounds. Since there is only one Sr in every compound, the mass will be the same: 87.62g/mol Sr

Now divide the molar mass of Sr by each of compounds' masses:
SrCl2 = (87.62)/(158.53) = 0.553
SrI2 = (87.62)/(341.43) = 0.257
SrO = (87.62)/(103.62) = 0.846
SrS = (87.62)/(119.68) = 0.732

Now multiply each of the results by 100 to get the percent composition of Sr by mass:
(0.553)(100) = 55.3% Sr in SrCl2
(0.257)(100) = 25.7% Sr in SrI2
(0.846)(100) = 84.6% Sr in SrO
(0.732)(100) = 73.2% Sr in SrS

Thus SrO has the highest percent composition by mass of Sr

What is your calculated density of water at R.T.?
Alekssandra [29.7K]
The mass of 40 mL of water is 40 grams. Since D = m/v and mL = cm3, the density of water is 1 g/cm3. Choose a volume between 1 and 100 mL. Use your graph to find the mass.

Explain how you can determine the number of neutrons in the nucleus of an atom of any of the elements listed in the table.
daser333 [38]

Different explanations that lead to the same result


-You need to substract the number of protons from the mass number.

-Mass number - atomic number= number of protons

-Following this  equation:

CARBON

atomic number= 6

mass number= 12

mass number= protons + neutrons

12= 6 + x

x= 12-6

x= 6
