Answer:

D. one-twelfth the mass of one carbon-12 atom

Explanation:

A is false because an atom is far too small to be compared to an atomic mass unit. Actually often its mass is considered negligible

B. A helium atom has a mass of four atomic mass units not one

C. The carbon-12 atom has a mass of 12 atomic mass units, as its name suggests

D. One atomic mass unit is equal to a twelfth of the mass of a carbon 12 atom. It is actually the definition of an atomic mass unit. It was once based on the hydrogen atom but today scientists define it using the carbon 12 atom

Calculate the percent composition of chlorine in methyl trichloride, CHCl3.
vovikov84 [41]

Answer:

Chlorine --> 89%

Explanation:

Step 1) Add each element's amu up to get the total mass of the compound.

12.011+1.008+3(35.453) = 119.378.

Step 2) Divide the total mass of chlorine by the total mass of the compound.

3(35.453) = 106.359

106.359/119.378 = 0.8909430548.

Step 3) Now multiply by 100 to get the percentage.

0.8909430548*100 = 89.09430548%

Step 4) Estimate and submit your answer

89.09430548% estimates to 89%
