For many years chloroform (CHCl3) was used as an inhalation anesthetic in spite of the fact that it is also a toxic substance th

at may cause severe liver, kidney, and heart damage. Calculate the percent composition by mass of this compound to four significant figures. The following molar masses should be used in your calculation: H = 1.008 g/mol, C = 12.01 g/mol, Cl = 35.45 g/mol.

Hey there!:

Molar mass:

CHCl3 = ( 12.01 * 1 )+ (1.008 * 1 ) + ( 35.45 * 3 ) => 119.37 g/mol

C% =  ( atomic mass C / molar mass CHCl3 ) * 100

For C :

C % =  (12.01 / 119.37 ) * 100

C% = ( 0.1006 * 100 )

C% =  10.06 %

For H :

H% = ( atomic mass H / molar mass CHCl3 ) * 100

H% = ( 1.008 / 119.37 ) * 100

H% = 0.008444 * 100

H% = 0.8444 %

For Cl :

Cl % ( molar mass Cl3 / molar mass CHCl3 ):

Cl% =  ( 3 * 35.45 / 119.37 ) * 100

Cl% =  ( 106.35 / 119.37 ) * 100

Cl% = 0.8909 * 100

Cl% = 89.9%


Hope that helps!

Why do acids and bases neutralize eachother?
timofeeve [1]

Answer:

Explanation:

When an acid and a base are placed together, they react to neutralize the acid and base properties, producing a salt. The H(+) cation of the acid combines with the OH(-) anion of the base to form water. The compound formed by the cation of the base and the anion of the acid is called a salt.

Which element will be more reactive - Mg (magnesium) OR Se (Selenium)? *
anygoal [31]

Answer:

magnesium

Explanation:

magnesium is in Group 2, in the periodic table. this means that it has 2 valence electrons. the less valence electrons an element or atom has, the more reactive. Selenium has 6 valence electrons. as a result, Mg is more reactive

How does electronegativity affect the polarity of the bond between two atoms?
Fantom [35]
It can allow the molecule (like water) to be polar because it has a negative and positive side to it (oxygen holds the negatives tight causing the hydrogens to be positive).
