In any chemical compound, the elements are always combined in the same proportion by ___.?
irga5000 [103]

Answer is: elements are always combined in the same proportion by mass.

Law of multiple proportions or Dalton's Law said that the ratios of the masses of the second element which combine with a fixed mass of the first element will be ratios of small whole numbers.

For example, nitrogen(I) oxide N₂O; m(N) : m(O) = 2·14 : 16 = 7 : 4.

Another example, water (H₂O) is made of two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom:  

m(H) : m(O) = 2·1 : 16 = 1: 8.

How many grams of solute are needed to order to prepare 100.00 mL of a 0.1000 M solution of a compound with a molecular weight o
Troyanec [42]

The grams of solute are required.

The mass of solute is 3.5 g

c =  Molarity = 0.1 M

M = Molar mass = 350 g/mol

V = Volume of solution = 100 mL = 0.1 L

n = Number of moles

m = Mass of solute

Molarity is given by

c=\dfrac{n}{V}\\\Rightarrow n=cV\\\Rightarrow n=0.1\times 0.1\\\Rightarrow n=0.01\ \text{moles}

Molar mass is given by

M=\dfrac{m}{n}\\\Rightarrow m=Mn\\\Rightarrow m=350\times 0.01\\\Rightarrow m=3.5\ \text{g}

The mass of solute is 3.5 g
