Answer:

\% O=27.6\%

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, for the sample of the given compound, we can compute the moles of each atom (carbon, hydrogen and oxygen) that is present in the sample as shown below:

- Moles of carbon are contained in the 9.582 grams of carbon dioxide:

n_C=9.582gCO_2*\frac{1molCO_2}{44gCO_2}*\frac{1molC}{1molCO_2}  =0.218molC

- Moles of hydrogen are contained in the 3.922 grams of water:

n_H=3.922gH_2O*\frac{1molH_2O}{18gH_2O} *\frac{2molH}{1molH_2O} =0.436molH

- Mass of oxygen is computed by subtracting both the mass of carbon and hydrogen in carbon dioxide and water respectively from the initial sample:

m_O=4.215g-0.218molC*\frac{12gC}{1molC} -0.436molH*\frac{1gH}{1molH} =1.163gO

Finally, we compute the percent by mass of oxygen:

\% O=\frac{1.163g}{4.215g}*100\% \\\\\% O=27.6\%

Regards.

How many molecules are in 1kg of water
Mila [183]

Answer:

334.2× 10²³ molecules

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of water = 1 Kg ( 1000 g )

Number of molecules = ?

Solution:

Number of moles of water:

Number of moles = mass/ molar mass

Number of moles = 1000 g/ 18 g/mol

Number of moles = 55.5 mol

1 mole contain 6.022× 10²³ molecules

55.5 mol×6.022× 10²³ molecules

334.2× 10²³ molecules

What are some milk products made from lactic acid fermentation?
Nadusha1986 [10]
The presence of lactic acid, produced during the lactic acid fermentation is responsible for the sour taste and for the improved microbiological stability and safety of the food. This lactic acid fermentation is responsible for the sour taste of dairy products such as cheese, yoghurt and kefir.

2.</span><span>Middle East: pickled vegetables.
3.</span><span>Korea: kimchi (fermented mixture of Chinese cabbage, radishes, red pepper, garlic and ginger)
4.</span><span>Russia: kefir.
5.</span><span>Egypt: laban rayab and laban zeer (fermented milks), kishk (fermented cereal and milk mixture)
6.</span><span>Nigeria: gari (fermented cassava)
7.</span><span>South Africa : magou (fermented maize porridge)
8.</span><span>Thailand : nham (fermented fresh pork)
9.</span><span>Philippines : balao balao (fermented rice and shrimp mixture)
</span><span>Lactic acid fermentation also gives the sour taste to fermented vegetables such as traditionally cultured sauerkraut and pickles. The sugars in the cabbage are converted into lactic acid and serve as a preservative.</span>

As a cooking method, braising is valued for its A. ability to retain flavor. B. quickness and convenience. C. ability to create
SSSSS [86.1K]

Answer: Option (A) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Braising means first of all fry a dish slightly and then cook it slowly in a closed vessel or dish. The vessel is close so that the liquid present inside it does not evaporates.

Also, Braising is done to mix the flavors of different liquids or spices appropriately.  

Thus, we can conclude that as a cooking method, braising is valued for its ability to retain flavor.
