Answer:

20%

Explanation:

10.0 = 100%

8.00 = 80%

100-80= 20

A 10.50 gram sample of a compound is decomposed to yield 3.40 g Na, 2.37 g S, and 4.73 g O. What is the mass percentage of each

9966 [12]

Answer:

Na = 32.4% , % S = 22.6% and %O = 45.0%

Explanation:

% Na = 3.4/10.5. × 100%

= 32.4%

%S = 2.37/10.5 × 100%

= 22.6%

% O= 4.73/10.5 × 100%

= 45.0%xplanation:

If fluorine 20 undergoes beta decay , what will it become ?

e-lub [12.9K]

Fluorine 20 (F - Atomic number 9 and atomic mass 20). Firstly we need to know what is beta decay. Beta decay occurs when one neutron changes into a proton and an electron therefore the atomic mass will remain the same as even though we loose a neutron it is replaced by a proton, the atomic number is always raised by 1 when one beta decay occurs. The produced electron is shot out of the nucleus at an incredible speed. This speedy electron we call a beta particle.

Ok now the reaction.

20 20 0
F -> Ne + e
9 10 -1

Remember the atomic number determines the nature of the element ( i.e what elemnt it is).
Hope this helps :).

Explain how you would decide which represents a greater mass: 3.25 x 1022 atoms of Ca or 2.45 grams of Mg?

elena55 [62]

Answer:

<u>You need to convert the number of atoms of Ca into mass in grams, using Avogadro's number and the atomic mass of Ca.</u>

Explanation:

The amount of matter is measured in grams. Thus, you need to convert the number of atoms of Ca (calcium) into mass to compare with 2.45 grams of Mg.

To convert the atoms of calcium into mass, you divide by Avogadro's number, to obtain the number of moles of atoms, and then divide by the atomic mass of calcium.

<u />

<u>1. Number of moles, n</u>

$n=\dfrac{\text{number of atoms}}{\text{Avogadro's number}}\\ \\ \\ n=\dfrac{3.25\times 10^{22}}{6.022\times 10^{23}}=0.053969mol$

<u />

<u>2. Mass</u>

mass = number of moles × atomic mass

mass = 0.053969mol × 40.078g/mol = 2.16g

Then, 2.45 g of Mg represent a greaer mass than the 3.25 × 10²² atoms of Ca.
