Which of the following compounds has the highest oxygen content by weight?

Chemistry

slega [8]3 years ago

The molecular weight is 18, and 16 of that is oxygen.  

So, water is 16/18 * 100 = 88.9% oxygen by weight.  

None of the other compounds have as high an oxygen content (by weight) as water.  

This is a trick question, and the University Chemistry grad fell for it.  

If you have the same weight of each compound (let's say, 10 grams, for example), then H2O has the most oxygen weight (8.89 g).

Answer:

This question is incomplete. The completed question is below

Which of the following compounds has the highest oxygen content, by weight? a. NaO b. CO c. BaO  d. H₂O

The correct option is d. H₂O

Explanation:

<u>The percentage of oxygen by weight in NaO</u> is

atomic mass of sodium (Na) is 23 g/mol while that of oxygen is 16 g/mol

molar mass of NaO = 23 + 16 = 39g

% by mass of oxygen  = 16/39 × 100 = <em>41.03 %</em>

<u>The percentage of oxygen by weight in CO</u> is

atomic mass of carbon (C) is 12 g/mol while that of oxygen is 16 g/mol

molar mass of CO = 12 + 16 = 28g

% by mass of oxygen = 16/28 × 100 = <em>57.14 %</em>

<u>The percentage of oxygen by weight in BaO</u> is

atomic mass of barium (Ba) is 137 g/mol while that of oxygen is 16 g/mol

molar mass of BaO = 137 + 16 = 153g

% by mass of oxygen = 16/153 × 100 = <em>10.46 %</em>

<u>The percentage of oxygen by weight in H₂O</u> is

atomic mass of Hydrogen (H) is 1 g/mol while that of oxygen is 16 g/mol

 molar mass of H₂O = (2 × 1) + 16 = 18g

% by mass of oxygen = 16/18 × 100 = 88.89 %

From the above calculations, it can be deduced that H₂O has the highest oxygen content by weight

The correct mathematical expression for finding the molar solubility (s) of calcium phosphate is
GalinKa [24]

Answer is: The molar solubility of calcium phosphate is 108s⁵ = Ksp.

<span> Balanced chemical reaction: Ca</span>₃(PO₄)₂(s) → 3Ca²⁺(aq) + 2PO₄³⁻(aq).<span>
[Ca²</span>⁺] = 3s(Ca₃(PO₄)₂) = 3s.<span>
[PO</span>₄³⁻] = 2s.<span>
Ksp = [Ca²</span>⁺]³ · [PO₄³⁻]².<span>
Ksp = (3s)³ · (2s)².
Ksp = 108s</span>⁵.

s = ⁵√(Ksp ÷ 108).

Choose the correct option for the redox reaction below : 8H+(aq) + MnO4-(aq) + 5Fe2+(aq) → Mn2+(aq) + 5Fe3+(aq) 4H2O(l) H+ (oxid
hodyreva [135]

Explanation:

8H+(aq) + MnO4-(aq) + 5Fe2+(aq) → Mn2+(aq) + 5Fe3+(aq) + 4H2O(l)

To determine if a substance was reduced or oxidized, the oxidation number at the reactant and product side is compared.

When oxidation occurs, an element loses electrons and its oxidation number increases (becomes more positive). When reduction occurs, an element gains electrons and its oxidation number decreases or is reduced (becomes more negative).

H+ (oxidized or reduced) Answer 1 Choose...

There is an increase in oxidation number from 0 to 1. This means H+ was oxidized.

MnO4- (oxidizing or reducing agent) Answer 2 Choose...

In chemistry, an oxidizing agent is a substance that has the ability to oxidize other substances — in other words to accept their electrons

MnO4- is a strong oxidizing agent.

Fe2+ (oxidizing or reducing agent) Answer 3 Choose...

A reducing agent means it will itself get oxidized. In  this reaction, Fe2+ is the reducing agent.

Fe2+ (oxidized or reduced) Answer 4 Choose...

Oxidized

O in MnO4- (oxidized or reduced) Answer 5 Choose...

There is no change in oxidation number of , so it was neither reduced nor was it oxidized.

Mn in MnO4- (oxidized or reduced) Answer 6 Choose...

There is a decreaase in oxidation number from +7 to +2. This means reduction.

In your own words list and describe the three subatomic particles that make up atoms.
padilas [110]

Answer:

Subatomic particles making up an atom

Explanation:

Atom is the smallest unit of any matter

An atom consists of three subatomic particles - Protons, Neutrons, Electrons. Major atomic mass is in the nucleus ie a tiny deep area at the centre. Nucleus consists nucleons, which includes protons (positively charge) & neurons (neutrally charged). Negatively charged electrons are outside the central nucleus.
