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 %

How can you experimentally determine the solubility of a solute in water at a certain temperature?
Veronika [31]
The solubility of a given solute in a given solvent typically depends on temperature. Many salts show a large increase in solubility with temperature. ... A few, such as cerium(III) sulfate, become less soluble in water as temperature increases.

Which atom will gain electrons in the reaction, and how many.
Anna35 [415]

Answer:

Most atoms do not have eight electrons in their valence electron shell. Some atoms have only a few electrons in their outer shell, while some atoms lack only one or two electrons to have an octet. In cases where an atom has three or fewer valence electrons, the atom may lose those valence electrons quite easily until what remains is a lower shell that contains an octet. Atoms that lose electrons acquire a positive charge as a result because they are left with fewer negatively charged electrons to balance the positive charges of the protons in the nucleus. Positively charged ions are called cations. Most metals become cations when they make ionic compounds.
