Which compound has the highest precent composition by mass of strontium?

1 answer:

4 0

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 the approximate bond angle around the central carbon atom in acrolein?

Soloha48 [4]

Answer:

The approximate bond angle around the central carbon atom in acrolein is 120°.

Explanation:

The structure of acrolein is shown in the attachment. From the structure, we can deduce that the central carbon atom is in an sp2 hybridization (Atoms with a double bond hybridize in an sp2 fashion).

Atoms with sp2 hybridization have trigonal planar geometry, in this kind of hybridization, bonds are oriented the farthest away possible from each other, to minimize overlapping and the angle that allows that is 120°.

Relative to electrons and electron states, what does each of the four quantum numbers specify

Alla [95]

Answer:

(n, l, m sub l, m sub s)

N: principle quantum number (1,2,3,4,etc)

l: angular momentum quantum number, the shape (l has to be at least 1 less than n, but can be 0 depending on n)

M sub l: magnetic quantum number (l determines this number)

M sub s: spin quantum number (can only ever be 1/2 or -1/2)
