51.41%

Percentage Composition from Formulas

A more complex example is sucrose (table sugar), which is 42.11% carbon, 6.48% hydrogen, and 51.41% oxygen by mass.

53.3 %

Thus the % composition of glucose by mass is carbon 40.0 % oxygen 53.3 % hydrogen 6.7 % In this way, the % composition by mass of any compound can be calculated provided that its formula is known.

Calculate %ic of the interatomic bonds for the intermetallic compound al6mn. on the basis of this result, what type of interatom

pashok25 [27]

Answer : % ionic character is 0.20%

Bonding between the two metals will be purely metallic.

Explanation: For the calculation of % ionic character, we use the formula

$\% \text{ ionic character}= [1-e^{\frac{-(X_A-X_B)^2)}{4}}]\times(100\%)$

where $X_A$ & $X_B$ are the Pauling's electronegativities.

The table attached has the values of electronegativities, by taking the values of Al and Mn from there,

$X_{Al}=1.61$

$X_{Mn}=1.55$

Putting the values in the electronegativity formula, we get

$\% \text{ ionic character}= [1-e^{\frac{-(1.61-1.55)^2)}{4}}]\times(100\%)$

= 0.20%

Now, there are 3 types of inter atomic bonding

1) Ionic Bonding: It refers to the chemical bond in which there is complete transfer of valence electrons between atoms

2) Covalent Bonding: It refers to the chemical bond involving the sharing of electron pairs between 2 atoms.

3) Metallic Bonding: It refers to the chemical bond in which there is an electrostatic force between the positively charged metal ions and delocalised electrons.

In $Al_6Mn$ compound, the % ionic character is minimal that is $\sim$ 0.20% and there are two metal ions present, therefore this compound will have metallic bonding.

Which of the following is not found in the nucleus of an atom?

photoshop1234 [79]

<span>The correct answer is the first option. Electron is not found in the nucleus of an atom. The sub-atomic particles of an atom are the proton, electron and the neutron. An electron has a charge of -1 and a smaller mass than a proton. Proton has the same mass with the neutron. The ratio between the mass of a proton and an electron is about 2000. An electron has an equal value but negative charge with the proton.</span>

A 12.2-g sample of x reacts with a sample of y to form 78.9 g of xy. what is the mass of y that reacted?

Sonja [21]

We will assume that the only reactants are x and y and that the only product is xy.

Based on the law of mass conservation, mass is an isolated system that can neither be created nor destroyed.

Applying this concept to the chemical reaction, we will find that the total mass of the reactants must be equal to the total mass of the products,
therefore:
mass of x + mass of y = mass of xy
12.2 + mass of y = 78.9
mass of y = 78.9 - 12.2 = 66.7 grams

True

sound travels as energy, unlike light.. the waves transmit energy by changing the motion of particles. The particles are moving in the same direction as the wave.
