Answer:

53.29% of acetic acid is Oxygen

Explanation:

Step 1: Given data

Acetic acid it's molecular formula is HC2H3O2. This means it consists of 3 elements Carbon, Hydrogen and oxygen.

Step 2: the molar masses

The molecular mass of acetic acid is:

4* H = 4* 1.01 g/mole

2* C = 2*12 g/mole

2*O = 2* 16 g/mole

Total molar mass = 4+ 24+32 = 60.052 g/mole

Step 3: Calculate the mass percent

32 g of the 60.052 g is Oxygen

(32/60.052) *100% = 53.29%

53.29% of acetic acid is Oxygen.

<u>Answer:</u>

<em>The mass percent composition is 53.2852 %</em>

<em></em>

<u>Explanation:</u>

The formula used to calculate the % composition is  

% composition = (mass of the element)/(total mass of the compound) × 100%

Total mass of the compound C_2H_4O_2

= (12.0107 × 2) + (1.0079 × 4) + (15.999 × 2)

= 24.02140 + 4.03176 + 31.99880

= 60.05196 g

Mass of the element, O = 31.99880 g

% composition of O

= (mass of the element) / (total mass of the compound) × 100%

Plugging into the formula

% composition of O

=\frac {31.99880g}{60.05196g} \times 100  \\\\

= 53.2852 % (Answer)

Answer:

  • <u><em>butylphenyl ether.</em></u>

Explanation:

The formula of the compound is:

  • CH₃ - CH₂ - CH₂ - CH₂ - O - C₆H₅

1. The functional group is of the kind R - O - R', i.e. two alkyl groups each attached to one end of the oxygen atom. That means that the compound is an ether.

2. One group attached to the oxygen group is CH₃ - CH₂ - CH₂ - CH₂ - which has 4 carbons and is named butyl group.

3. The other group attached to the oxygen atom is C₆H₅ - which is derived from ciclohexane as is known as phenyl group.

4. Using the rule of naming the subtituents in alphabetical order, you name butyl first and phenyl second, so it is <u><em>butylphenyl ether.</em></u>

Anestetic [448]
Answer is: solution of electrolyte will have lower freezing point than solution of nonelectrolyte.
This is because salt solution has more particles in of sodium chloride (sodium and chlorine ions) than in same concentration of glucose. Electrolytes better separates into particles in water because of their ionic bond.<span>
