Answer:

b) 49.48% C, 5.19% H, 28.85% N, and 16.48% O

Explanation:

we find the mass for each element in one mole by multiplying the number of atoms in one molecule with the atomic mass

mC=8Ac=8*12=96g

mH=10AH=10*1=10g

mN=4AN=4*14=56g

mO=2AO=2*16=32g

by adding the masses together we find the molar mass of the molecule

M=mC+nH+mN+mO=96+10+56+32=194g/mole

we apply the rule of threes to find the percentage of each element

194g..96gC..10gH...56gN....32gO

100g....a...........b...........c.............d

a=(100*96)/194=49.48%C

b=(100*10)/194=5.19%H

c=(100*56)/194=28.85%N

d=(100*32)/194=16.48%O

What would be the mass of a 33.5dm3 sample of O2 at STP?
liraira [26]

Answer:

• One mole of oxygen is equivalent to 16 grams.

→ But at STP, 22.4 dm³ are occupied by 1 mole.

{ \tt{22.4 \:  {dm}^{3}   \: \dashrightarrow \: 16 \: grams}} \\  { \tt{33.5 \:  {dm}^{3}  \:  \dashrightarrow \: ( \frac{33.5 \times 16}{22.4} ) \: grams}} \\  \\  \dashrightarrow \: { \boxed{ \tt{23.94 \: g \approx \: 24 \: grams}}}

Addition of which disaccharide to a solution of Ag2O in NH3(aq) will NOT result in the deposition of shiny silver mirror on the
mihalych1998 [28]

Answer:

Saccharose

Explanation:

Disaccharide Saccharose is formed by glucose and fructose, both monosaccharides are bound by their anomeric carbons (O-glucosidic), this is, both reducing carbons form the O-glucosidic bond, hence, they are not available to reduce Ag⁺ to Ag⁰

Why do covalent compounds tend to be squishy?
Sav [38]

Answer:

Since they're easy to separate, covalent compounds have low melting and boiling points. 2) Covalent compounds are soft and squishy (compared to ionic compounds, anyway). The reason for this is similar to the reason that covalent compounds have low melting and boiling points. When you hit an ionic compound with something, it feels very hard

What is the pH level of Mg?
Otrada [13]
 Magnesium is a metal. As such it is not possible to determine its pH. What you can do is calculate the pH of a solution of a magnesium salt such as Mg(OH)2 or MgCl2 etc, etc. The pH will depend on the concentration of the salt, the type of salt etc.<span>

Different energy sources can be used to generate electricity. Which of the following uses a nonrenewable energy source to genera
Archy [21]

Answer:

a power plant that runs on oil

Explanation:

A generator a power plant that runs on oil uses non-renewable sources of energy to generate electricity.

Non - renewable energy is an energy source that cannot be replenished within a short period of time. It takes geologic time scales to form such energy sources.

Oil is a fossil fuel and a non-renewable source of energy.

As it is used, the reserve is being depleted.
