The percentage of elements in the compound is determined from the number of elements in the compound

<h3>Further explanation  </h3>

Proust states the Comparative Law that compounds are formed from elements with the same Mass Comparison so that compounds have a fixed composition of elements

\tt \%A~in~A_xB_y=\dfrac{x\times Ar~A}{MW~A_xB_y}\times 100\%

\tt \%B~in~A_xB_y=\dfrac{y\times Ar~B}{MW~A_xB_y}\times 100\%

Example

% Lithium (Li) in Li₂CO₃(lithium carbonate)

Ar of Li = 6.941 g/mol

MW of  Li₂CO₃  = 73.891 g/mol

\tt \%Li=\dfrac{2.Ar~Li}{MW~Li_2CO_3}\times 100\%\\\\\%Li=\dfrac{2\times 6.941}{73.891}\times 100\%=18.79\%

charle [14.2K]
Answer is: volume of carbon dioxide is 1,84·10⁸ l.
Chemical reaction: C + O₂ → CO₂.
m(C) = 100 t · 1000 kg/t = 100000 kg 
m(C) = 100000 kg · 1000 g/kg = 10⁸ g.
n(C) = m(C) ÷ M(C).
n(C) = 10⁸ g ÷ 12 g/mol.
n(C) = 8,33·10⁶ mol.
From chemical reaction: n(C) . n(CO₂) = 1 : 1.
n(CO₂) = 8,33·10⁶ mol.
m(CO₂) = 8,33·10⁶ mol · 44 g/mol.
m(CO₂)  = 3,66·10⁸ = 3,66·10⁵ kg.
V(CO₂) = 3,66·10⁵ kg ÷ 1,98 kg/m³ = 1,84·10⁵ m³.
V(CO₂) = 1,84·10⁵ m³ · 1000 l/m³ = 1,84·10⁸ l.

What is the molecule that formed between B and F?
Alik [6]

Answer:

BF3

Explanation:

For this question, you need to use the number of valence electrons present in each element. Boron is in group 3/13 on the periodic table so you know it has 3 valence electrons while Fluorine is in group 7/17 so it has 7 valence electrons. These elements are both covalent so they will share electrons. All elements in the first three rows want to reach either have 8 valence electrons or zero valence electrons depending on whichever is easier. When B and F interact each Fluorine will only want to take one electron, but Boron wants to get rid of all 3 electrons, so it will bond with 3 Fluorine to get rid of all its valence electrons.

I hope this helps.

History of Aluminum​
solniwko [45]

Answer:

Aluminium was named after alum, which is called 'alumen' in Latin. This name was given by Humphry Davy, an English chemist, who, in 1808, discovered that aluminium could be produced by electrolytic reduction from alumina (aluminium oxide), but did not manage to prove the theory in practice.
