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! :)

What causes pressure inside a helium balloon?

kupik [55]

Explanation:

So the gas pressure of a helium balloon arises from the impact of the collisions of the helium atoms between themselves and with the inside surface of the balloon. Of course, the outside atmosphere similarly exerts a pressure on the outside of the balloon.

A student wants to remove the salt from a mixture of sand and salt in order to get only pure sand. He adds water to the mixture.

raketka [301]

Answer:

Here is one way: Add water to the mixture. Only the sugar dissolves. This is a physical change.

Explanation:

The sugar would dissolve in water. You could then pour off the solution and wash the remaining sand with a bit more water. Heat the water to evaporate it from the sugar, and the two are separated.

Helen [10]

Melting is a process where a solid such as ice turns into liquid or water. The molecules of ice slowly moves and becomes unstable as they gain energy. As this energy builds up, kinetic energy increases and the intermolecular forces react because of this energy.Thank you for your question. Please don't hesitate to ask in Brainly your queries.
