Answer:

a. ((100 - 35)/100) times 5.5 grams = 3.575 g

Explanation:

Given that:

The sample of carbon and oxygen = 5.5g

where carbon makes 35% of the mass of the substances.

It implies that oxygen will make: (100 - 35)% = 65%

Suppose y be the mass of the oxygen;

Then:

y = \dfrac{(100-35)}{100} \times 5.5 \ g

y = \dfrac{(65)} {100} \times 5.5 \ g

y = 3.575 \ g

The mass of carbon = \dfrac{35}{100} \times 5.5 \ g

= 1.925 g

In chemistry what is nickle (II) nitrate solution mixed with a sodium hydroxide solution
AlladinOne [14]

Answer:

I hope this will help you and Please mark me as Brilliant

Explanation:

Approximately 2 mL of Solution A (on the left) is added to a sample of Solution B (on the right) with a dropping pipet. If a precipitate forms, the resulting precipitate is suspended in the mixture. The mixture is then stirred with a glass stirring rod and the precipitate is allowed to settle for about a minute.

Solution A: 0.5 M sodium hydroxide, colorless

Solution B: 0.2 M nickel(II) nitrate, green

Precipitate: light green

Ni(NO3)2(aq) + 2 NaOH(aq) —> Ni(OH)2(s) + 2 NaNO3(aq)

How does bohrs model agree with Thomson model
Airida [17]
Bohr's Model agree with Thompson's model because Bohr concluded that packets of energy are absorbed or emitted by the atoms when an electron changes shell. Thompson's conclusion states that atoms have small, negatively charged particles (referring to Electrons) as part of their internal structure.
