Answer:

% Ca = 24.69%

% H = 1.2%

% C = 14.8%

% O = 59.25%

Explanation:

The percentage by mass of each element can be calculated by dividing the mass of each element in the compound by the molar mass of the compound.

Molar mass of Ca(HCO3)2

Where; (Ca= 40, H = 1, O = 16, C= 12)

= 40 + {1 + 12 + 16(3)}2

= 40 + {13 + 48}2

= 40 + {61}2

= 40 + 122

= 162g/mol

- % mass of Ca = 40/162 × 100

= 0.2469 × 100

= 24.69%

- % mass of H = 2/162 × 100

= 0.012 × 100

= 1.2%

- % mass of C = 24/162 × 100

= 0.148 × 100

= 14.8%

- % mass of O = 96/162 × 100

= 0.5925 × 100

= 59.25%

A student experimentally determines the density of a metal cube. The edge length of the cube is measured using calipers. The cub
IgorC [24]

Answer:

10.9%.

Explanation:

The first thing to do in order to solve this question is to Determine the value for the volume of the the cube. This can be done by taking the cube root of the length of the cube;

The volume of the cube = (length of the cube)^3 = length × length × length = 1.72 × 1.72 × 1.72 =( 1.72)^3 = 5.09cm^3.

The next thing you do is to Determine the exponential density, the can be done by using the formula below;

The exponential density = mass/ volume = 55. 786/ 5.09 = 10.96 g/cm^3.

Therefore, the percent error = (true density of the cube - exponential density of the cube)÷ true density of the cube × 100.

Hence, the percent error = 12.30 - 10.96/12.30 × 100 = 10.9%.

makvit [3.9K]

Answer:

carbon dioxide CO₂

Explanation:

Each gas has a characteristic boiling point. You can separate a random sample of gases by gradually cooling the sample until each component gas liquifies. Some compounds, such as CO₂ never liquify. Instead, they turn directly into solids.

What are the categories when earth is divided according to its chemical composition? ​
STALIN [3.7K]
The Earth is divided into three chemical layers: the Core [Inner Core (D) and Outer Core (C)], the Mantle (B) and the Crust (A). The Core is predominantly composed of iron and nickel. Even after 4.5 billion years of cooling, the Earth's core remains very hot.

g Glycolysis is the process by which energy is harvested from glucose by living things. Several of the reactions of glycolysis a
Alex787 [66]

Answer:

A and B are unfavorable reactions.

Explanation:

In chemical thermodynamics, an endergonic reaction  is also called a nonspontaneous reaction or an unfavorable reaction. it's a chemical reaction in which the change in free energy is positive, and energy is absorbed.

In chemical thermodynamics, an exergonic reaction  is also called a spontaneous reaction or a favorable reaction. it's a chemical reaction in which the change in free energy is negative.

ΔG>0

If the Gibbs  free energy of the reaction is positive than the reaction will be non spontaneous .

If the Gibbs  free energy of the reaction is negative than the reaction will be spontaneous

Gibbs free energy is an energy which that can be use to convert into useful work.

ΔG=ΔH-TΔS

with ΔG= Gibbs free energy

with ΔH =  enthalpy of reaction

with T = temperature of eh reaction

ΔS = Entropy change

The reaction A: Pi+glucose⟶glucose-6-phosphate+H2O

The ΔG is positive. This is an nonspontaneous reaction or an unfavorable reaction

The reaction B: Pi+fructose-6-phosphate⟶fructose-1,6-bisphosphate+H2O

The ΔG is positive. This is an nonspontaneous reaction or an unfavorable reaction.

The reaction C: ATP+H2O⟶ADP+Pi

The ΔG is negative. This is a spontaneous reaction or a favorable reaction.

A and B are unfavorable reactions.

When testing to see how water affects plant growth, John make sure one set of his plants does not get water. This set of plants
Mashcka [7]

Answer:

control.

Explanation:

during an experiment you are required to maintain a separate group of subjects to collect data on so you will be able to make comparisons from your observations. assuming the watered plants grew, what does that mean? they grew at a quicker rate? slower rate? the same rate? compared to what? you need this control group in order to prove your observations either one way or the other such as "compared to unwatered plants, the watered plants grew at *blank* rate."
