We have been given the condition that carbon makes up 35%
of the mass of the substance and the rest is made up of oxygen. With this, it
can be concluded that 65% of the substance is made up of oxygen. If we let x be
the mass of oxygen in the substance, the operation that would best represent
the scenario is,
<span> x = (0.65)(5.5 g)</span>
<span> <em> </em><span><em>x =
3.575 g</em></span></span>
The p sub cell can hold up to 8 atoms. So true
Explanation:
Given parameters:
Mass of sample = 235g
Molecular mass of sample = 128.1g
Empirical formula = CH₂O
Unknown:
Mass of each element in the sample = ?
Solution:
To solve this problem, we must know that the empirical formula of any compound is the simplest ratio of the atoms it contains. This is not the true formula of the compound.
Molecular formula = (Empirical formula)ₙ
Let us find the molecular mass of the sample;
CH₂O = 12 + 2(1) + 16 = 30g
128.1 = (30)n
n = 4
The molecular formula of the compound is; (CH₂O)₄ = C₄H₈O₄
Now to find the grams of each element in the sample;
Express the molecular mass of each element and that of the compound as a fraction and multiply with the given mass;
For C;
= 88.06g
H;
= 14.68g
O:
= 117.41g

Mass defect and binding energy are related as
ΔE = Δmc^2
Where
ΔE = binding energy
Δm = mass defect
c = speed of light
given
mass defect = 3.09x 10-27 kg
We know that speed of light = 3 X 10^8 m /s
ΔE = 3.09x 10-27 kg (3 X 10^8 m /s)^2 = 2.781 X 10^-10 J / Kg
