Taking into account the definition of percentage composition, the percent composition of carbon in this sample is 62.17%.

<h3>Percentage composition</h3>

The Percentage Composition is a measure of the amount of mass that an element occupies in a compound and indicates the percentage by mass of each element that is part of a compound.

Then, the percentage by mass expresses the concentration and indicates the amount of mass of solute present in 100 grams of solution.

In other words, the percentage by mass of a component of the solution is defined as the ratio of the mass of the solute to the mass of the solution, expressed as a percentage.

The percentage by mass is calculated as the mass of the solute divided by the mass of the solution, the result of which is multiplied by 100 to give a percentage. This is:

percentageby mass= \frac{mass of solute}{mass of solution}x100

<h3>This case</h3>

In this case, you know:

  • mass of solute= 46.63 g
  • mass of solution= 75 g

Replacing:

percentageby mass= \frac{46.63 g}{75 g}x100

Solving:

<u><em>percentage by mass= 62.17 %</em></u>

Finally, the percent composition of carbon in this sample is 62.17%.

How is rubidium used
Virty [35]

Answer:

Rubidium is used in vacuum tubes as a getter, a material that combines with and removes trace gases from vacuum tubes. It is also used in the manufacture of photocells and in special glasses. Since it is easily ionized, it might be used as a propellant in ion engines on spacecraft.

Symbol: Rb (37)

Lapatulllka [165]

Answer:

A gas is evolved

The ingredients can not be recovered

Explanation:

A chemical change is one in which a new substance is formed and it is not easily reversible.

One major ingredient used in cake baking is the baking powder or baking soda.

Baking a cake can be viewed as a chemical change. This is because, when the baking powder or soda is added in the presence of yeast, carbon dioxide gas is evolved as tiny bubbles of gas which makes the cake light and fluffy. Heat is equally given off in the process. The baking powder and other cake ingredients can not be recovered, hence, we can conclusively assert that a chemical change has taken place.
