Answer:

62.07 %

Explanation:

Chemical Formula = (CH3)2CO = C3H6O

Mass of C = 12 g/mol

Mass of H = 1 g/mol

Mass of O = 12 g/mol

Mass of C3H6O = 3(12) + 6(1) + 16 = 58 g/mol

Total mass of C in Acetone = 12 * 3 = 36 g

Mass Percent of C = Total mass of C / Mass of Acetone * 100

Mass percent = 36 / 58 * 100

Mass percent = 62.07 %

Automotive air bags inflate when sodium azide, NaN3, decomposes explosively to its constituent elements. How many moles of nitro

attashe74 [19]

Answer:

2.29 g of N2

Explanation:

We have to start with the chemical reaction:

$NaN_3~->~Na~+~N_2$

The next step is to balance the reaction:

$2NaN_3~->~2Na~+~3N_2$

We can continue with the mol calculation using the molar mass of

$NaN_3$ (65 g/mol), so:

$3.55~g~NaN_3\frac{1~mol~NaN_3}{65~g~NaN_3}=0.054~mol~NaN_3$

Now, with the molar ratio between $NaN_3$ and $N_2$ we can calculate the moles of $N_2$ (2:3), so:

$0.054~mol~NaN_3\frac{3~mol~N_2}{2~mol~NaN_3}=0.0819~mol~N_2$

With the molar mass of $N_2$ we can calculate the grams:

$0.0819~mol~N_2=\frac{1~mol~N_2}{28~g~N_2}=2.29~g~N_2$

I hope it helps!

When an atom loses an electron, we say that the atoms was ____________________.

arlik [135]

Answer:

However, if something happens to make an atom lose or gain an electron then the atom will no longer be neutral.

Explanation:

A charged atom is called an ion. When an atom loses electron(s) it will lose some of its negative charge and so becomes positively charged. A positive ion is formed where an atom has more protons than electrons.
