Answer:

C₃H₄O₂ → 50% C; 5.5 % H; 44.5% O

C₄H₆O₂ → 56 % of C; 7 % of H; 37% of O

C₃H₃N → 68 % of C; 6 % of H; 26 % of N

Explanation:

We determine the molar mass of each compound:

C₃H₄O₂ → 72 g/mol

In 1 mol of acrylic acid (72 g), we have:

3 moles of C → 12 g/mol . 3 mol = 36 g of C

4 moles of H → 1 g/mol . 4 mol = 4 g of H

2 moles of O → 16g/mol . 2 mol = 32 g of O

Then in 100 g of salt, we may have:

100 . 36 / 72 = 50 % of C

4 . 100 / 72 = 5.5 % of H

32 . 100 / 72 = 44.5 % of O

C₄H₆O₂ → 86 g/mol

In 1 mol of methyl acrylate (86 g), we have:

4 moles of C → 12 g/mol . 4 mol = 48 g of C

6 moles of H → 1 g/mol . 6 mol = 6 g of H

2 moles of O → 16g/mol . 2 mol = 32 g of O

Then in 100 g of salt, we may have:

100 . 48 / 86 = 56 % of C

6 . 100 / 86 = 7 % of H

32 . 100 / 86 = 37 % of O

C₃H₃N → 53 g/mol

In 1 mol of acrylonitrile (53 g), we have:

3 moles of C → 12 g/mol . 3 mol = 36 g of C

3 moles of H → 1 g/mol . 3 mol = 3 g of H

1 mol of N → 14g/mol . 1 mol = 14 g of N

Then in 100 g of salt, we may have:

100 . 36 / 53 = 68 % of C

3 . 100 / 53 = 6 % of H

14 . 100 / 53 = 26 % of N

What is soil? where do the water and nutrients found in the soil come from?
Liono4ka [1.6K]

Answer:

Soil is a mixture of organic matter, minerals, gases, liquids, and organisms that together support life.

We get these from the plants that grow, and the animals that we eat that eat the plants. Most soils have a large supply of nutrients in them, and they get taken up by plants when plants absorb water. Soils need to be healthy to grow large quantities of plants, and animals need plants to grow strong.

How many moles are in 7.00E24 atoms of Ca?
iris [78.8K]

Explanation:

In chemistry, a mole is the base unit of the amount of substance in a system containing elementary entities (atoms, molecules, ions, electrons), and one mole of substance corresponds to the Avogadro's constant or 6.023 \ \times \ 10^{23}  entities. The stoichiometry equation that relates the amount of substance into the measurement in moles is

                                                           n \ = \ \displaystyle\frac{\alpha}{N_{A}},

where n is the number of moles, \alpha is the amount of substance and N_{A} is the Avogadro's constant.

Therefore,

                                           n \ = \ \displaystyle\frac{7.00 \ \times \ 10^{24} \ \text{atoms}}{6.023 \ \times \ 10^{23} \ \text{atoms mol}^{-1}} \\ \\ n \ = \ 11.624 \ \text{mol}.
