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

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

)
+
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)

26.98 g/mol

How do you convert between the volume of a gas at STP and the number of moles of the gas?
Naya [18.7K]
Standard temperature and pressure (STP) means a temperature of 0°c and a pressure of 1 atmosphere (atm). The molar gas volume is used to convert between the number of moles of a gas and the volume of the gas at STP. One mole of a gas occupies a volume of 22400 cm³ or 22.4 liters at STP according to the molar gas volume.

How is it possible for there to be more than one kind of atom of the same element?
tiny-mole [99]

They are called isotopes.

Isotopes have the same number of electrons and protons in their unionized state. They differ in the number of neutrons. The first and simplest example is hydrogen.


The most common hydrogen has

1 proton

1 electron and

0 neutrons


It has 2 cousins

1 proton

1 electron

1 neutron

And

1 proton

1 electron

2 neutrons.


Most elements have some differences in the number of neutrons present in their nuclei. Cesium and Xenon have the most number of isotopes. Each has 36. You wonder how the atoms are held together.

The isomerization reaction, ch3nc → ch3cn, is first order and the rate constant is equal to 0.46 s-1 at 600 k. what is the conce
Harlamova29_29 [7]
According to this formula :
㏑[A] /[Ao] = - Kt 
when we have Ao = 0.3 m 
and K =0.46 s^-1
t = 20min = 0.2 x 60 =12 s
So by substitution :
㏑[A] / 0.3 = - 0.46 * 12
㏑[A] / 0.3 = - 5.52
by taking e^x for both side of the equation we can get [A]
∴[A] = 0.0012 mol dm^-3
