<span>Solving for the percent composition by mass of sulfur. The formula would be: %S = mass of sulfur / mass of compound x 100% Plugging in our data: %S = 32 amu / 120 amu x 100% %S = 0.266666 x 100% %S = 26.66% Rounded off to two significant numbers it will be 27%. Therefore the answer is number 2.</span>

Calculate the heat (in calories) released when 115 g of CHCl3 changes from a liquid to a solid at
Alexandra [31]

Answer:  8855 Joules energy is released when 115 g of CHCl_3 changes from a liquid to a solid at  its freezing point.

Explanation:

Latent heat of freezing is the amount of heat released to convert 1 mole of  liquid to solid at atmospheric pressure.

Amount of heat released to freeze 1 gram of CHCl_3 = 77 J/g

Mass of CHCl_3 given = 115 gram

Heat released when 1 g of CHCl_3 is freezed = 77 J

Thus Heat released when 115 g of CHCl_3 is freezed =\frac{77}{1}\times 115=8855J

Thus 8855 Joules energy is released when 115 g of CHCl_3 changes from a liquid to a solid at  its freezing point.

What exactly is a proton? Is it a member of the periodic table?
Pavel [41]

The atomic number is the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom. The number of protons define the identity of an element (i.e., an element with 6 protons is a carbon atom, no matter how many neutrons may be present).
