What is the percent composition HCN?

Chemistry

kupik [55]3 years ago

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%

Why doesn't it matter which nonradioactive isotope of oxygen you breathe?
Greeley [361]

Isotopes of an element have same atomic number (number of protons) but vary in the mass number (number of neutrons). The chemical reactivity of an element is not affected by the change in mass number. So, for stable isotopes of Oxygen, (Oxygen-16, Oxygen-17 and Oxygen-18) the biochemical pathway of oxygen breathed in during respiration remains unaffected even with different isotopes. Only the radioactive isotopes of oxygen when breathed in may cause serious health hazards as they emit radiations that may damage the internal organs in the body.
