Answer:

%N = 25.94%

%O = 74.06%

Explanation:

Step 1: Calculate the mass of nitrogen in 1 mole of N₂O₅

We will multiply the molar mass of N by the number of N atoms in the formula of N₂O₅.

m(N): 2 × 14.01 g = 28.02 g

Step 2: Calculate the mass of oxygen in 1 mole of N₂O₅

We will multiply the molar mass of O by the number of O atoms in the formula of N₂O₅.

m(O): 5 × 16.00 g = 80.00 g

Step 3: Calculate the mass of 1 mole of N₂O₅

We will sum the masses of N and O.

m(N₂O₅) = m(N) + m(O) = 28.02 g + 80.00 g = 108.02 g

Step 4: Calculate the percent composition of N₂O₅

We will use the following expression.

%Element = m(Element)/m(Compound) × 100%

%N = m(N)/m(N₂O₅) × 100% = 28.02 g/108.02 g × 100% = 25.94%

%O = m(O)/m(N₂O₅) × 100% = 80.00 g/108.02 g × 100% = 74.06%

Use this chemical equation to answer the following questions: Cl + O3 ➞ ClO + O2

barxatty [35]

Explanation:

1. Elements are substances made of the same kind of atoms, unlike compounds that are combination for different kinds of atoms. The elements in the reaction therefore are;

Cl and O₃

2. Yes, the equation is balanced. There is the same number of each element on either side of the equation. One (1) CL and three (3) O atoms.

3. Ozone is reduced. Other the other hand, Cl is oxidized. Remember a reduction reaction may involve the loss of one or more oxygen atoms or the acceptance of electrons. This occurs for O₃ which is reduced to O₂.

4. The equation complies with the conservation of matter as in the first law of thermodynamics. The number of atoms for each element on the other side of the equation remains the same. This means no matter(which also translated to energy) has been created or destroyed in the process.

Nuclear fusion involves the combination of two light nuclei to form a heavier nucleus with emission of energy.

A nuclear reaction equation is a representation of the change that takes place as one nucleus is converted to another. A nuclear transformation could be any of the following;

Nuclear fission
Nuclear fusion
Transmutation

We can know that a nuclear fusion is taking place when two nuclei come together to form a larger nucleus and emit energy. I would identify a nuclear fusion when;
