Answer:

The mass percentage composition of nitrogen in the sample of the cleaning detergent is approximately 16.78%  

Explanation:

The given mass of the sample of the cleaning detergent, m₁ = 20.5 g

The mass of the ammonium hydroxide, NH₄OH in the detergent, m₂ = 8.61 g

The molar mass of NH₄OH = 35.04 g/mol

The molar mass of nitrogen, N = 14.01 g/mol

Therefore, the mass, m₃ of nitrogen, N, in 8.61 g of ammonium hydroxide, NH₄OH, is found as follows;

m₃ = (14.01/35.04) × 8.61 g = (402,087/118,800) g ≈ 3.44 g

The mass of nitrogen, N, in the ammonium hydroxide, NH₄OH, contained in the 20.5 g sample of the cleaning agent, m₃ ≈ 3.44 grams

The percentage composition of nitrogen in the sample of the cleaning detergent, %N is given as follows;

\% Composition = \dfrac{Mass \ of \ component}{Total \ mass \ of \ cleaning \ detergent} \times 100

Therefore;

%N ≈ ((3.44 g)/(20.5 g)) × 100 ≈ 16.78 %

The percentage composition of nitrogen, %N ≈ 16.78%.

Written in this form, carbon-13, what does the 13 represent and what is the atomic number?
tigry1 [53]
Explanation:
Carbon has 3 isotopes. Carbon-12, Carbon-13, and Carbon-14
All of them have an atomic number of 6, which means all of them have 6 protons (if they had different numbers of protons, they'd be different elements).
Since they all have 6 protons, in their elemental forms, they all have 6 electrons, too.
Carbon-12:
Atomic number: 6
Mass number: 12
protons: 6
electrons: 6
neutrons: 6
Carbon-13:
Atomic number: 6
Mass number: 13
protons: 6
electrons: 6
neutrons: 7
Carbon-14:
Atomic number: 6
Mass number: 14
protons: 6
electrons: 6
neutrons: 8

If you burn 46.0 g of hydrogen and produce 411 g of water, how much oxygen reacted?
g100num [7]
The answer is 365 grams because you need to subtract 411 by 46.

The molecular mass of propane-1,2-diol is 76.1 amuamu . Calculate the molecular mass of propane-1,3-diol, an isomer of propane-1
sashaice [31]

Answer:

76.1 amu

Explanation:

Let us recall that isomers refer to two different compounds with the same molecular formula but different atom to atom connectivity and different chemical properties. When two compounds are isomers, we can essentially represent them with exactly the same molecular formula.

Now propane-1,2-diol and propane-1,3-diol are both represented by the molecular formula C3H8O2 since they are isomers of each other. When two compounds have the same molecular formula, they must essentially have the same molecular mass. Hence the molecular mass of propane-1,3-diol is also 76.1 amu.

Answer:

Potassium is an element, with the symbol K

Explanation:

An element is something that cannot be broken down any further, for example, calcium, its Ca.

A compound is when you bond two or more elements. Compounds can be broken down into its original elements, for example, H₂O, it contains two atoms of hydrogen and one atom of oxygen (both hydrogen and oxygen are elements).
