What is the percent composition HCN?

Chemistry
1 answer:
kupik [55]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

see calculations in explanation

Explanation:

percent = part/total x 100%

part = ∑ atomic mass of element

  • hydrogen = 1.008 amu (atomic mass units)
  • carbon = 12.011 amu
  • nitrogen = 14.007 amu

total = ∑ molecular mass of compound

       = H amu  +  C amu +  Namu

       = 1.008 amu + 12.011 amu + 14.007 amu

       = 27.026 amu

%H = (1.008amu/27.026amu)100% = 3.730%

%C = (12.011amu/27.026amu)100% = 44.442%

%N = (14.007amu/27.026amu)100% = 51.827%

Check results ∑%values = 100%

3.730% + 44.442% + 51.827% = 99.999% ≅ 100%

Which element does this atom represent?
Maurinko [17]

Answer:

Option C is correct = fluorine

Explanation:

An atom consist of electron, protons and neutrons. Protons and neutrons are present with in nucleus while the electrons are present out side the nucleus.

All these three subatomic particles construct an atom. A neutral atom have equal number of proton and electron. In other words we can say that negative and positive charges are equal in magnitude and cancel the each other. For example if neutral atom has 6 protons than it must have 6 electrons. The sum of neutrons and protons is the mass number of an atom while the number of protons are number of electrons is the atomic number of an atom.

This diagram show that there are 9 electrons and 9 protons are present. We know that the number of protons or electrons are atomic number of that element. From periodic table we know that atomic number of fluorine is 9 thus the given atom present fluorine atom.

How much concentrated solution would it take to prepare 2.75 L of 0.400 M HCl upon dilution with water
grin007 [14]
Hydrochloric acid is usually purchased in a concentrated form that is 37.0% HCl by mass and has a density of 1.20g/mL. Calculate the molarity of the concd HCl.
1.20 g/mL x 1000 mL x 0.37 x (1/36.5) = about 12 M or so but you do it exactly.

Then mL x M = mL x M
mL x 12 M = 2800 mL x 0.475
Solve for mL of the concd HCl solution.

Four grams of hydrogen react completely with 32 grams of oxygen. Based on the law of conservation of mass how many grams of wate
neonofarm [45]

Se producirán 36 gramos de agua

Explicación: Ya que en una reacción química no puede descubrir ningún cambio en masa total de las sustancias que en ella intervienen, pues en una reacción química ni se gana ni se pierde masa.
