Option three, starfish is the correct answer since if you draw a line between it, it would be even!
To determine the pressure in units of kPa, we need to use a conversion factor to convert the units from mmHg to kPa. A conversion factor is a value that would relate two different units and is multiplied or divide to the original measurement depending on what is units is asked. From literature, 1 atm is equal to 760 mmHg and it is also equal to 101.325 kPa. We use these factors to convert the given value. We do as follows:
2150 mmHg ( 1 atm / 760 mmHg ) ( 101.325 kPa / 1 atm ) = 286.643 kPa
Therefore, the closest value from the choices is the second one which has the value of 287, this would be answer.
Answer:
In the previous section, we discussed the relationship between the bulk mass of a substance and the number of atoms or molecules it contains (moles). Given the chemical formula of the substance, we were able to determine the amount of the substance (moles) from its mass, and vice versa. But what if the chemical formula of a substance is unknown? In this section, we will explore how to apply these very same principles in order to derive the chemical formulas of unknown substances from experimental mass measurements.
Explanation:
tally. The results of these measurements permit the calculation of the compound’s percent composition, defined as the percentage by mass of each element in the compound. For example, consider a gaseous compound composed solely of carbon and hydrogen. The percent composition of this compound could be represented as follows:
\displaystyle \%\text{H}=\frac{\text{mass H}}{\text{mass compound}}\times 100\%%H=
mass compound
mass H
×100%
\displaystyle \%\text{C}=\frac{\text{mass C}}{\text{mass compound}}\times 100\%%C=
mass compound
mass C
×100%
If analysis of a 10.0-g sample of this gas showed it to contain 2.5 g H and 7.5 g C, the percent composition would be calculated to be 25% H and 75% C:
\displaystyle \%\text{H}=\frac{2.5\text{g H}}{10.0\text{g compound}}\times 100\%=25\%%H=
10.0g compound
2.5g H
×100%=25%
\displaystyle \%\text{C}=\frac{7.5\text{g C}}{10.0\text{g compound}}\times 100\%=75\%%C=
10.0g compound
7.5g C
×100%=75%
It's a compound of hydrogen and oxygen
