Answer:

20.82% is the mass percent of oxygen in the compound.

Explanation:

Total mass of the compound = 143.1 g

Mass of carbon = 53.4 g

Mass of hydrogen = 16.9 g

Mass of nitrogen= 43 g

Mass of oxygen= x

143.1 g = x + 53.4 g + 16.9 g + 43 g

x = 143.1 g - 53.4 g - 16.9 g - 43 g = 29.8 g

Percentage of oxygen in the compound:

\%=\frac{\text{Mass of oxygen}}{\text{Mass of compound}}\times 100

\%=\frac{29.8 g}{143.1 g}\times 100=20.82\%

20.82% is the mass percent of oxygen in the compound.

Why do covalent bonds form between elements with similar electronegativity?
sesenic [268]

A COVALENT BOND, FORMS BETWEEN ELEMENTS WITH SIMILAR  ELECTRONEGATIVITY AS SHARING OF ELECTRON PAIRS BETWEEN ATOMS IS EASIER AS THEY ARE IDENTICAL.

Explanation:

Bonding atoms with similar electronegativity values form covalent bonds.

A covalent bond, also called a molecular bond, is a chemical bond that involves the sharing of electron pairs between atoms.

Covalent bonds form between two nonmetal atoms with identical or relatively close electronegativity values

Electronegativity is a measure of the tendency of an atom to attract a bonding pair of electrons, also it is the strength an atom has to attract a bonding pair of electrons to itself.

Pure covalent bonds result when two atoms of the same electronegativity bond. This occurs only when two atoms of the same element bond with each other.

What happened during the fusion reaction shown?
NARA [144]

Answer:

Nuclear Fusion reactions power the Sun and other stars. In a fusion reaction, two light nuclei merge to form a single heavier nucleus.The process releases energy because the total mass of the resulting single nucleus is less than the mass of the two original nuclei

Explanation:

Nuclear fusion is a process in which atomic nuclei are fused together to form heavier nuclei. ... Like fission, nuclear fusion can also transmute one element into another. For example, hydrogen nuclei fuse in stars to form the element helium.

Calculate the percent errorin a length measurementof 4.45cm if the correct value is 4.06
FinnZ [79.3K]

Answer:

9.6 %

Explanation:

<u>Step 1: How to define  percent error ? </u>

⇒ % error is the difference between a measured value and the known or accepted value

⇒Percent error is calculated using the following formula:

⇒%error  =  | Experimental value-theoretical value/theoretical value |  x100%

⇔ this can be written as well as : error = (| Experimental value/ theoretical value | - | Theoretical value / Theoretical value | ) x100%

<u>Step 2: Calculate % error</u>

In this case, this means :

%error = ( |(4.45 cm - 4.06cm ) / 4.06cm | ) x100%

%error = 0.096 x100%

%error =9.6 %
