<span>Cr 2(52.0) = 104 O 3(16.0) = 48
104/152 * 100 = 68.42% Cr
48/152 * 100 = 31.58% O</span>

Explanation:

Percentage of an element in a compound:

\frac{\text{Number of atoms of element}\times \text{Atomic mass of element}}{\text{molecular mass of compound}}\times 100

Molecular mass of Cr_2O_3 = 152 g/mol

Percentage of chromium:

Number of chromium atoms = 2

Atomic mass of chromium = 52 g/mol

\frac{2\times 52g/mol}{152g/mol}\times 100=68.42\%

Percentage of oxygen:

Number of oxygen atoms = 3

Atomic mas of oxygen = 16 g/mol

\frac{3\times 16g/mol}{152 g/mol}\times 100=31.58\%

The percent composition of Cr in Cr_2O_3 is 68.42%.

The percent composition of O in Cr_2O_3 is 31.58%.

Otrada [13]

Answer:

The reaction would take place with racemization.

Explanation:

The compound (R)-3-bromo 3-methylhexane contains has the leaving group attached to a tertiary carbon atom. When the leaving group is attached to a tertiary carbon atom, the compound undergoes nucleophilic substitution via SN1 mechanism. This mechanism involves the formation of a planar carbocation intermediate. The nucleophile may attack this intermediate from either faces, leading to racemization of the product.
