A 400g sample is found to be 27% aluminum. What is the mass percent of A1 in the sample?

Chemistry

34.59%

Explanation:
In order to calculate the mass percent of aluminum in that ionic compound, we're going to need two things:
1: The formula mass of the entire compound

2: The atomic mass of aluminum

The formula mass of aluminum hydroxide is
78.00
g
m
o
l
because:
26.98
g
m
o
l
+
3
(
16.00
g
mol
)
+
3
(
1.0079
g
mol
)

=
78.00
g
m
o
l

We already know the atomic mass of aluminum since that's already given.
Now, we have to use the following equation:

The numerator represents the mass of the desired atom, which is Al in our case, and the denominator represents the mass of the entire compound. You just divide the two and multiply by 100 to obtain the percent composition:
Mass of Al
Molar Mass of Al(OH)

100

26.98 g/mol

Which choice(s) correctly rank(s) the bonds in terms of increasing polarity?
Marina CMI [18]

Answer:

(II) only correctly rank the bonds in terms of increasing polarity.

Explanation:

Bond polarity is proportional to difference in electronegativity between bonded atoms.

Atoms    Electronegativity          Bond        Electronegativity difference

Cl                          3.0                       Cl-F                      1.0

Br                          2.8                       Br-Cl                     0.2

F                            4.0                       Cl-Cl                      0

H                            2.1                       H-C                       0.4

C                            2.5                       H-N                       0.9

N                             3.0                      H-O                       1.4

O                             3.5                      Br-F                       1.2

I                               2.7                      I-F                         1.3

Si                             1.9                      Cl-F                       1.0  

P                              2.2                      Si-Cl                      1.1

                                                          Si-P                        0.3

                                                          Si-C                        0.6

                                                           Si-F                        2.1

So, clearly, order of increasing polarity : O-H > N-H > C-H

So, (II) only correctly rank the bonds in terms of increasing polarity
