densk [106]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

a) Nitrous oxide (N2O) has a molar mass of 44.014 amu. It has 2 nitrogen atoms each with a mass of 14.007 amu and 1 oxygen atom with a mass of 16.0 amu.

Percentage nitrogen = (2*14.007 amu/ 44.014 amu ) *100% = 63.6%

Percentage oxygen = (16 amu/44.014 amu) * 100% = 36.4 %

63.6% + 36.4% = 100%

b) Benzoic acid (C7H6O2) has a molar mass of 122.13 amu. It has 6 hydrogen atoms each with a mass of 1.01 amu; it has 7 carbon atoms each with a mass of 12.01amu and 2 oxygen atoms with a mass of 16.0 amu.

Percentage hydrogen = (6*1.01 amu / 122.13 amu)*100% = 4.96%

Percentage carbon = (7*12.01 amu/ 122.13 amu)*100% = 68.8%

Percentage oxygen = (2*16 amu/ 122.13 amu) *100% = 26.2%

c) Magnesium hydroxide (Mg(OH)2) has a molecular mass of 58.32 amu. It has 2 hydrogen atoms each with a mass of 1.01 amu; it has 1 magnesium atom with a mass of 24.3 amu and two oxygen atoms with a mass of 16.0 amu.

Percentage hydrogen = (2*1.01 amu/ 58.32 amu) *100% = 3.46 %

Percentage magnesium = (24.3 amu/58.32 amu)*100% = 41.7%

Percentage oxygen = (2*16 amu/58.32 amu)*100% = 54.9%

d) Urea CO(NH2)2 has a molecular mass of 60.064 amu. It has 2 Nitrogen atoms each with a mass of 14.007 amu, 4 hydrogen atoms each with a mass of 1.01 amu,1 carbon atom with a mass of 12.01 amu and 1 oxygen atom with a mass of 16.0 amu.

Percentage nitrogen = (2*14.007 amu/ 60.064amu)*100% = 46.6%

Percentage hydrogen = (4*1.01 amu/60.064amu)*100% = 6.72%

Percentage carbon = (12.01 amu/60.064amu)*100% = 20.0%

Percentage oxygen = (16 amu/60.064amu)*100% = 26.6%

e) Osopentyl acetate (C7H14O2) has a molecular mass of 130.2 amu. It has 14 hydrogen atoms each with a mass of 1.01 amu,7 carbon atoms each with a mass of 12.01 amu and 2 oxygen atom with a mass of 16.0 amu.

Percentage hydrogen = (14*1.01 amu/130.2 amu)*100% = 10.8%

Percentage carbon = (7*12.01 amu/130.2 amu)*100% = 64.6%

Percentage oxygen =(2*16 amu/130.2 amu)*100% = 24.6%

If you can answer as many of these as possible that would be great, will give thanks, 5 stars, and brainliest :)

Answer:

The nucleus of the atom as suggested by "nuclear" chemistry.
Radioactive element are generally very large due to both their high number of protons, neutrons, and electrons.
An excessive amount of protons or neutrons.
Periodic table, table O, and table N.
Personal opinion question.
The atomic number.
It represents the number of protons, and can also represent the number of electrons in a neutral atom (an atom with no charge).
Protons ---- element.
Random, self-generated.
Gamma radiation is the only thing on table O that is mass less. Close to being the same is Beta particles which have almost no mass.
Neutrons and Gamma radiation.
Gamma radiation.
Electrons and Beta particles.
To turn one element into the isotope of another. Yes, I believe it is aptly named because you are changing the identity of the element.
The number of protons because they are what define the identity of an element.

Goodluck!
