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 %

How many moles of MgCl2 are there in 319 g of the compound?
Leokris [45]

Hey there!:

Molar mass MgCl2 = 95.2110 g/mol

So:

1 mole MgCl2 -------------- 95.2110 g

moles MgCl2 ---------------- 319 g

moles MgCl2 = 319 * 1 / 95.2110

moles MgCl2 = 319 / 95.2110

=> 3.350 moles of MgCl2


Hope that helps!

Rosa drew a flow chart of the carbon cycle.
Lisa [10]

The correct Answer is A.

The Flow chart of the Carbon Cycle, will look as follows:

1. Carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.

2. Producers undergo photosynthesis (in this process plants among other producers like algae, use CO2 to produce energy).

3. Consumers eat producers (a primary level of consumer like a rabbit eats the producers or plants).

4. Decomposers return Carbon to the soil and release waste.

And the  cycle continues again, by going back to step 1.
