Answer:

39.7 %

Explanation:

magnesium + oxygen ⟶ magnesium oxide

   10.57 g         6.96 g               17.53 g

According to the <em>Law of Conservation of Mass</em>, the mass of the product must equal the total mass of the reactants.

Mass of MgO = 10.57 + 6.96

Mass of MgO = 17.53 g

The formula for mass percent is

% by mass = Mass of component/Total mass × 100 %

In this case,

% O = mass of O/mass of MgO × 100 %

Mass of O = 6.96 g

Mass of MgO = 17.53 g

% O = 6.96/17.53 × 100

% O = 0.3970 × 100

% O = 39.7 %

A scuba diver is using scuba gear to breathe under water. The pressure on her lungs is 2.5 atm and her lung volume is 4.4 L. Wha
nikdorinn [45]

Answer:

<h2>2.44 L</h2>

Explanation:

The volume can be used by using the formula for Boyle's law which is

P_1V_1 = P_2V_2 \\

where

P1 is the initial pressure

P2 is the final pressure

V1 is the initial volume

V2 is the final volume

Since we're finding the final volume

V_2 =  \frac{P_1V_1}{P_2}  \\

We have

V_2 =  \frac{2.5 \times 4.4}{4.5}  =  \frac{11}{4.5}  \\  = 2.444444....

We have the final answer as

<h3>2.44 L</h3>

Hope this helps you

Which colorless and odorless gas, produced by radioactive decay of Uranium-238, is considered to be a cancer-causing agent?
alexdok [17]
<span>The correct answer is b. Radon. Oxygen, Hyrdrogen, and Boron, are not radioactivel ike Radon and it regenerates quickly meaning that even though it has a short half-life period, it stays for a long time once released. It also has no taste so it's difficult to notice without proper gear because you can't feel it.</span>

Have people considered that aliens could possibly live without oxygen and water and we are looking in the wrong direction for a
bija089 [108]
I have never heard anyone ever say anything about aliens only living by using the same metabolistic processes as humans... But.. there may likely be another planet out there that does use oxygen, although at a different percentage from Earths. Anyways, even if we do find "other" life forms, who's to say that they're on the same level as us? Have you ever considered the fact that ants to us are like we are to other life forms out there and maybe they don't want or can't communicate with us because they see themselves as superior?

Hope that helps!
