Hydrogen reacts with 0.771 g of carbon to form 0.90 g of a compound. What is the mass percent of hydrogen in the compound

1 answer:

6 0

Hello!

Answer: 14.3%

Explanation: In order to find the mass percent of hydrogen in this compound, you must determine how many grams of hydrogen you'd get in 100 g of compound.

In your case, you know that an unknown mass of hydrogen reacts with 0.771 g of carbon to form 0.90 g of hydrocarbon, which is a compound that contains only carbon and hydrogen.

Use the total mass of the hydrocarbon to determine how many grams of hydrogen reacted with the carbon.

Now, if 0.90 g of this compound contain 0.129 g of hydrogen, it follows that 100 g of this compound will contain.

So, if 100 g of this compound contain 14.33 g of hydrogen, it follows that the mass percent of hydrogen is 14.3%

Hope this Helps! Have A WONDERFUL Day! :)

Balance the following chemical equation by providing the correct coefficients fe+h2so4 fe(so4)3 + h2

Dmitriy789 [7]

Answer:

2Fe + 3H2SO4 + Fe2(SO4)3+ 3H2

Explanation:

1. Fe (SO4) 3 is an incorrectly written formula because iron is trivalent as we can see by this three ahead of SO4. SO4 is divalent always.

2. since (SO4) is 3, this three shows us that there must be 3 in the reactants as well.

so now there is 3H2SO4

3. Since we have added 3 to one hydrogen we must add another. So now it's 3H2

4. and finally iron. In Fe2 (SO4) 3 we see this 2 in front of Fe which means it goes 2Fe.

Which two electron configurations represent elements that would have similar chemical properties? (1) 1s22s22p4 (2) 1s22s22p5 (3

Anton [14]

Answer: Two electron configurations of elements that would have similar chemical properties are (2) and (4).

Explanation:

(1) $1s^22s^22p^4$

(2) $1s^22s^22p^5$

(3) $[Ar]4s^23d^5$

(4) $[Ar]4s^23d^{10}^4p^5$

Valence electrons : These are the electrons present in last principal quantum number of an atom of the element.

Two electron configurations represent elements that would have similar chemical properties are (2) and (4). This is because number of valence electrons present in both of them are same that is seven valence electrons . Also valence electrons of both the elements are present in p-orbital which means that they both belongs to same group in a periodic table. The members of same group in a periodic table have similar chemical properties.
