Answer:
The majority of the weight in an atom is found in the nucleus.
Explanation:
The protons and neutrons that make up the nucleus of the atom may take up a tiny amount of space in comparison to the rest of the atom, but they are far more dense than the electrons that orbit the nucleus.
Answer: 9.3 x 10^ 18 g CO
Explanation:
Start by knowing that carbon monoxide is the compound CO. To convert molecules to grams, you first need to convert molecules to moles. This can be done using the conversion factor for Avogadro's Number:
(2.0 x 10^5 molecules CO) x 1 mol CO / 6.02 x 10^23 molecules CO
This cancels molecules CO.
Then, you can convert moles to grams, which is your desired quantity. You can find the number of grams for CO by looking at the periodic table and adding together their masses. C = 12 g and O = 16 g. Total of 28 g CO:
(1 mol CO) x 28 g CO / 1 mol CO
This cancels mol CO, which leaves grams CO.
Its a compound because they come together
Answer:
39.7 %
Explanation:
magnesium + oxygen ⟶ magnesium oxide
10.57 g 6.96 g 17.53 g
According to the <em>Law of Conservation of Mass</em>, the mass of the product must equal the total mass of the reactants.
Mass of MgO = 10.57 + 6.96
Mass of MgO = 17.53 g
The formula for mass percent is
% by mass = Mass of component/Total mass × 100 %
In this case,
% O = mass of O/mass of MgO × 100 %
Mass of O = 6.96 g
Mass of MgO = 17.53 g
% O = 6.96/17.53 × 100
% O = 0.3970 × 100
% O = 39.7 %
