Answer:
36.66%
Explanation:
Step 1: Given data
- Mass of the sample: 2.875 g
Step 2: Calculate the mass of salt
The mass of the sample is equal to the sum of the masses of the components.
m(sample) = m(iron) + m(sand) + m(salt)
m(salt) = m(sample) - m(iron) - m(sand)
m(salt) = 2.875 g - 0.660 g - 1.161 g
m(salt) = 1.054 g
Step 3: Calculate the percent of salt in the sample
We will use the following expression.
%(salt) = m(salt) / m(sample) × 100%
%(salt) = 1.054 g / 2.875 g × 100% = 36.66%
Answer:
The Earth's surface is constantly changing through forces in nature. The daily processes of precipitation, wind and land movement result in changes to landforms over a long period of time. Driving forces include erosion, volcanoes and earthquakes. People also contribute to changes in the appearance of land.
One mole (abbreviated mol) is equal to 6.022×1023 molecular entities (Avogadro's number), and each element has a different molar mass depending on the weight of 6.022×1023 of its atoms (1 mole). The molar mass of any element can be determined by finding the atomic mass of the element on the periodic table.
