Answer:

Mass of solution=100g

mass of salt=20g

so; mass of solute=80g

percentage composition =(mass of salt/total

mass) ×100

= \frac{20}{100} \times 100 \\ = 20\%

glad to help you

hope it helps

The percent composition by mass of a 100g salt solution which contains 20g salt is $\bold{16.6\%}$

<u>Solution:</u>

Percent composition is calculated as, weight of the solute divided by amount of solute added to 100 g is solution multiplied by 100.

$\Rightarrow \frac{\text {weight of solute}(g)}{\text {weight of solute}(g)+\text {weight of solution(g)}} \times 100$

Given, 100 g of salt solution with 20 g of salt

Weight of the solute and solvent is $20 + 100 g = 120 g$

$percent composition=\frac{20}{120} \times 100=\frac{200}{12}=16.6$

$\therefore \text { percent composition } =16.6 \%$

It is responsible for the generation of earth’s magnetic field

morpeh [17]

Answer: The magnetic field is generated by electric currents due to the motion of convection currents of a mixture of molten iron and nickel in the Earth's outer core: these convection currents are caused by heat escaping from the core, a natural process called a geodynamo.

Density is a derived unit of mass / volume.

lapo4ka [179]

Answer:

1kg/L

Explanation:

1.) convert grams to kilograms

1000g÷1000=1kg

2.)use formula to find density

$density = \frac{mass}{volume}$

= 1kg/1.0L

=1kg/L

4.50 g of a certain Compound X, known to be made of carbon, hydrogen and perhaps oxygen, and to have a molecular molar mass of 1

Anna11 [10]

Answer:

$\mathbf{C_{10}H_8}$ ( Naphthalene )

Explanation:

Given that:

4.50 g of a Compound X is made up of Carbon , Hydron and Oxygen

It's molecular molar mass = 128 g/mol

Compound X undergoes combustion reaction and the product yield :

CO_2 with mass 15.47g and :

H_2O with mass 2.53 g

The objective is to use this information to determine the molecular formula of X.

We all know that ; number of moles = mass/molar mass

where the molar mass of H_2O is 18 g/mol

number of moles of H_2O product = 2.53 g/18 g/mol

number of moles of H_2O product = 0.1406 moles

Also; the molar mass of CO_2 product = 44 g/mol

number of moles of CO_2 product = 15.47g/ 44 g/mol

number of moles of CO_2 product = 0.3516 moles

number of moles of Compound X in the reactant side= 4.50 g /128 g/mol

number of moles of Compound X n the reactant side= 0.03516 moles

Now; number number of moles of CO_2 in reactant = 0.3516 moles/0.03516 moles

Now; number number of moles of CO_2 in reactant = 10

number of moles of H_2O reactant = 0.1406 moles × 2/0.03516

number of moles of H_2O reactant = 7.997 ≅ 8

Since we said the Compound X is known to be made of Carbon C , Hydrogen H and Oxygen O

Then the molecular formula can be written as :

$\mathbf{C_{10}H_8O_{x}}$

In order to find the x; we have

128 = (12 × 10 + 1 × 8 + 16 × x)

128 = 120 + 8 + 16x)

128 = 128 + 16 x

128 - 128 = 16 x

0 = 16 x

x = 0/16

x = 0

As x = 0 ; hence there are no oxygen present in the reaction

Thus; the molecular formula of Compound X = $\mathbf{C_{10}H_8}$ which is also known as Naphthalene
