The answer is: the percent composition of tungsten in this compound is 94%.

Mr(WC) = Ar(W) + Ar(C).

Mr(WC) = 183.85 + 12.01.

Mr(WC) = 195.86; molecular mass of tungsten carbide.

ω(W) = Ar(W) ÷ Mr(WC) · 100%.

ω(W) = 183.85 ÷ 195.86 · 100%.

ω(W) = 93.87%; mass percent of tungsten in a sample.

<u>Answer:</u> The percent composition of tungsten in tungsten carbide is 94%.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Percent composition of an element in a compound is defined as the mass of the element present in 1 mole of a compound.

Mass of 1 mole of WC = 196 g/mol

Mass of tungsten = 184 g/mol

The percent composition of tungsten in WC = \frac{184}{196}\times 100 = 93.87\%

Rounding this off to the nearest whole percent, we get:

93.87\%\approx 94\%

Hence, the percent composition of tungsten in tungsten carbide is 94%.

How many molecules of hypothetical substance b are produced when 29.9g of hypothetical substance a reacts? the molar mass of sub
Andrej [43]
<span>1.15x10^24 molecules of hypothetical substance b Making the assumption that each molecule in hypothetical substance a reacts to produce a single molecule of hypothetical substance b, then the number of molecules of substance b will be the number of moles of substance a multiplied by avogadro's number. So Moles hypothetical substance a = 29.9 g / 15.7 g/mol = 1.904458599 moles This means that we should also have 1.904458599 moles of hypothetical substance b. And to get the number of atoms, multiply by 6.0221409x10^23, so: 1.904458599 * 6.0221409x10^23 = 1.146892x10^24 molecules. Rounding to 3 significant figures gives 1.15x10^24</span>

2b. 12 grams of C8H18 react with oxygen to produce carbon dioxide and water. How many grams of CO2 are produced?
likoan [24]

Answer:

37.1g are produced

Explanation:

The combustion of C₈H₁₈ is:

C₈H₁₈ + 25/2O₂ → 8CO₂ + 9H₂O

<em>Where 1 mole of C₈H₁₈ produce 8 moles of CO₂</em>

<em />

To find the mass of CO₂ that is produced we need to convert the mass of C₈H₁₈ with molar mass. Then, with the chemical equation, we can find the moles of CO₂ and its mass, as follows:

<em>Moles C₈H₁₈ -Molar mass: 114.2g/mol-</em>

12g C₈H₁₈ * (1mol / 114.2g) = 0.105 moles of C₈H₁₈

<em>Moles CO₂:</em>

As 1 mole of C₈H₁₈ produce 8 moles of CO₂, 0.105 moles of C₈H₁₈ produce:

0.105 moles of C₈H₁₈ * (8moles CO₂ / 1mole C₈H₁₈) = 0.84 moles of CO₂

<em>Mass CO₂ -Molar mass: 44.01g/mol-:</em>

0.84 moles of CO₂ * (44.01g / mol) = 37.0g of CO₂ ≈

<h3>37.1g are produced</h3>

What is the molar concentration of a sucrose solution prepared by dissolving 350.25 g of sucrose is enough deionized water to yi
vovangra [49]

The  molar concentration of a sucrose solution prepared by dissolving 350.25 g of sucrose is enough deionized water to yield a final solution volume of 500.00 mL is 2.048 M.

We must first obtain the number of moles of sucrose in the solution as follows;

Number of moles = mass/ molar

Mass of sucrose = 350.25 g

Molar mass of sucrose = 342 g/mol

Number of moles of sucrose= 350.25 g / 342 g/mol

= 1.024 moles

Recall that;

Number of moles = concentration × volume

concentration = Number of moles/volume

volume of solution = 500.00 mL or 0.5 L

concentration = 1.024 moles/0.5 L

concentration = 2.048 M
