Answer:

True.

Explanation:

The mass number of an atom can be calculated using no of protons and the no of neutrons.

Mass number = no of protons + no of neutrons

We can rearrange the above formula to find the no of neutrons as follows :

no of neutrons = Mass number - no of protons

or

Neutrons = Mass - protons.

Hence, the given statement is true.

Calculate the percentage of each element in acetic acid, hc2h3o2, and glucose, c6h12o6.
My name is Ann [436]
<em>Acetic acid, HC2H3O2</em>

First, calculate for the molar mass of acetic acid as shown below.
    M = 1 + 2(12) + 3(1) + 2(16) = 60 g

Then, calculating for the percentages of each element.
<em> Hydrogen:</em>
    P1 = ((4)(1)/60)(100%) = <em>6.67%</em>

<em> Carbon:</em>
   P2 = ((2)(12)/60)(100%) = <em>40%</em>

<em>Oxygen</em>
  P3 =((2)(16) / 60)(100%) = <em>53.33%</em>

<em>Glucose, C6H12O6</em>

The molar mass of glucose is as calculated below,
   6(12) + 12(1) + 6(16) = 180

The percentages of the elements are as follow,
 <em> Hydrogen:</em>
   P1 = (12/180)(100%) = <em>6.67%</em>

<em>Carbon:</em>
  P2 = ((6)(12) / 180)(100%) = <em>40%</em>

<em>Oxygen:</em>
  P3 = ((6)(16) / 180)(100%) = <em>53.33%</em>

b. Since the empirical formula of the given substances are just the same and can be written as CH2O then, the percentages of each element composing them will just be equal.

a titration of 25.0mL of an x M hcl solution with 0.15M NaOH starts at a burette reading for NaOH of 0.20mL . Thr burette readin
VARVARA [1.3K]
Burette is a very accurate measuring instrument when adding solutions and has a measurement error of 0.05 mL. 
Small volumes of solutions can be transferred from the burette at a controllable rate. 
In this instance NaOH is in the burette.
Initial reading of NaOH is 0.20 mL 
end point is the point at which the chemical reaction reaches completion. In acid base reactions, end point is when all the H⁺ ions have reacted with OH⁻ ions. 
final reading of NaOH is 24.10 mL
to find the volume of NaOH dispensed we have to find the difference between final reading and initial reading 
volume of NaOH added = 24.10 mL - 0.20 mL = 23.90 mL
volume of NaOH dispensed is 23.90 mL

g Determine the empirical formula for a compound that contains C, H and O. It contains 40.92% C, 4.58% H, and 54.50% O by mass.
Lady bird [3.3K]

Answer:

The empirical formula for the compound is C3H4O3

Explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question:

Carbon (C) = 40.92%

Hydrogen (H) = 4.58%

Oxygen (O) = 54.50%

The empirical formula for the compound can be obtained as follow:

C = 40.92%

H = 4.58%

O = 54.50%

Divide by their molar mass

C = 40.92/12 = 3.41

H = 4.58/1 = 4.58

O = 54.50/16 = 3.41

Divide by the smallest i.e 3.41

C = 3.41/3.41 = 1

H = 4.58/3.41 = 1.3

O = 3.41/3.41 = 1

Multiply through by 3 to express in whole number

C = 1 x 3 = 3

H = 1.3 x 3 = 4

O = 1 x 3 = 3

The empirical formula for the compound is C3H4O3

Which of the following is one way to prevent the corrosion of iron? 
Drupady [299]
B: Painting over a metal surface in order to prevent rust is known as rust proofing and it works by preventing oxygen and water from reaching the metal surface thus preventing a redox reaction which would result in rusting.
