Answer:

70.0 %

Explanation:

Step 1: Given data

  • Mass of nitrogen (mN): 74.66 g
  • Mass of the compound (mNxOy): 250 g

Step 2: Calculate the mass of oxygen (mO) in the compound

The mass of the compound is equal to the sum of the masses of the elements that form it.

mNxOy = mN + mO

mO = mNxOy - mN

mO = 250 g - 74.66 g = 175 g

Step 3: Determine the percent composition of oxygen in the sample

We will use the following expression.

%O = mO / mNxOy × 100%

%O = 175 g / 250 g × 100% = 70.0 %

gladu [14]

Ph 2 will ahve more strength due to the fact that its more acidic compared to pH 5.

the lower the number of a pH, the more it is heading towards being acidic, but the higher the number, the more it heads towards being an alkali. here is a ppt i made along time ago. hope it can help you . have a nice day

1. Why is carbon dioxide a gas at low temperatures at mars
wlad13 [49]

1. carbon dioxide is a gas at low temperatures at mars because in the oxidizing environment organic compounds are oxidized to form carbon dioxide.

2. The 1 electron in outermost shell of Na is shared with 7 electrons of outermost shell of chlorine giving neutral charge on compound.

3. Electrostatic force of attraction is between the metal and non-metal.

4. When metal and non metal exchange electrons to form a neutral or no charge compound it is said to have form ionic bonds.

Explanation:

1. Temperature at Mars is very low -80 Fahrenheit  (-60 degrees) because water is not present in the planet. Carbon dioxide is abundant in Mars. The atmosphere is oxidizing at Mars which oxidizes the organic compounds and forms carbon dioxide.

2. NaCl combines by sharing of electrons forming ionic bonding. Different atoms of the different element share electrons to form ionic bonds. Such bond is formed when electrons is transferred between the atoms. In the NaCl, Na has 1 electron (electropositive) in its outer shell and chlorine has 7 electrons (electronegative). Both share the electrons getting their octet complete and a neutral charge on the compound formed.

3. Electrostatic force of attraction is between the metal and non-metal when bond is formed. The ionic bonds is formed between metal and non metals when electron exchange takes place. The electrostatic force is the attraction between two opposite charges on the ion.

4. When a metal and non metal exchange electrons in which metal is electropositive and non metal is electronegative the bonds form is called ionic bond. The electron is transferred from metal to non metal and thus giving neutral charge on the compound i.e. the outer shell has its octet complete.

The airbags that protect people in car crashes are inflated by the extremely rapid decomposition of sodium azide, which produces
Oxana [17]

Answer:

1. NaN₃(s) → Na(s) + 1.5 N₂(g)

2. 79.3g

Explanation:

<em>1. Write a balanced chemical equation, including physical state symbols, for the decomposition of solid sodium azide (NaN₃) into solid sodium and gaseous dinitrogen.</em>

NaN₃(s) → Na(s) + 1.5 N₂(g)

<em>2. Suppose 43.0L of dinitrogen gas are produced by this reaction, at a temperature of 13.0°C and pressure of exactly 1atm. Calculate the mass of sodium azide that must have reacted. Round your answer to 3 significant digits.</em>

First, we have to calculate the moles of N₂ from the ideal gas equation.

P.V=n.R.T\\n=\frac{P.V}{R.T} =\frac{1atm.(43.0L)}{(0.08206atm.L/mol.K).286.2K} =1.83mol

The moles of NaN₃ are:

1.83molN_{2}.\frac{1molNaN_{3}}{1.5molN_{2}} =1.22molNaN_{3}

The molar mass of NaN₃ is 65.01 g/mol. The mass of NaN₃ is:

1.22mol.\frac{65.01g}{mol} =79.3g

frozen [14]
The balloon would be smaller and not float as well because of the low temperature. The particles in the balloon when in the car will slow down and get closer together because of the low temperature. That caused it to become more dense and smaller in size then before. When in the store, the particulars in the balloon we’re moving faster and more spread apart
