To calculate percent composition, you first need to find the molar mass of C (carbon), H (hydrogen) and O (oxygen).
C is 12.01
H is 1.00
O is 16
Then multiply each by the number of atoms of each element in the formula (the number that comes after each element in the equation for example C6 means 6 carbon atoms.
C: 12.01 x 6= 72.06
H: 1x12= 12
O: 16x6= 96
Then add them up.
72.06+ 12+ 96= 180.06
Now find the percent composition of carbon.
72.06/ 180.06 x 100= 40.01%
So the answer is C 40%.
There are 2 significant figures.
"Rule 3: Trailing zeros are significant if a decimal point is shown in the number, but may or may not be significant if no decimal point is shown."
If you add salt to water then it will boil faster than water without salt
The reaction between 1 mole of NaOH and 1 mole of HCl creates 1 mole of NaCl and 1 mole of water. Meaning that the moles of HCl needs to equal that of NaOH for the solution to be considered equalized. That being said, you first need to find the numbers miles of HCl by multiplying the volume by the molarity to get 0.01 moles HCl. (1Mx0.01L=0.01). That means that you need 0.01 moles of NaOH. I hope that helps. Let me know if anything is unclear.
