Percent composition by mass of oxygen =
((16.0*6)/(40.1+2*(14.0+16.0*3)))*100%
= 58.5%
therefore, the answer is D
1:Red cabbage contains a water-soluble pigment called anthocyanin that changes color when it is mixed with an acid or a base.
2: Basic
Answer:
The answer to your question is: SiCl₄
Explanation:
Data
amount of Si 1.71 g
amount of Cl 8.63 g
MW Si = 28 g
MW Cl = 35.5
Process (rule of three)
For Si For Cl
28 g of Si ------------------ 1 mol 35.5 g of Cl --------------- 1 mol
1.71g of Si --------------- x 8.63 g of Cl -------------- x
x = 1.71 x 1 / 28 = 0.06 mol x = 8.63 x 1 / 35.5 = 0.24 mol
Now, divide both results by the lowest of them.
Si = 0.06 mol / 0.06 = 1 molecule of Si Cl = 0.24 / 0.06 = 4 molecules of Cl
Finally
Si₁ Cl₄ or SiCl₄
