Generally speaking, organic molecules tend to dissolve in solvents that have similar physical properties. A good rule of thumb is that "like dissolves like". Meaning, polar compounds can dissolve polar compounds and nonpolar compounds can dissolve nonpolar compounds.
To apply this to the current problem, we are told that the brushes are being cleaned with vegetable oil or mineral oil. In this case, the oils are used as solvents. In order for these solvents to be effective, the compounds they are trying to dissolve must be similar in structure and properties to other oils. Therefore, vegetable oil or mineral oil will be most effective in removing oil-based paints, as these will have the similar properties needed to dissolve in the oil solvents.
Answer:
Explanation:
How many atoms are in a 3.5 g sample of sodium (Na)? In this example, multiply the grams of Na by the conversion factor 1 mol Na/ 22.98 g Na, with 22.98g being the molar mass of one mole of Na, which then allows cancelation of grams, leaving moles of Na.
Uranium provides nuclear fuel used generate electricity in nuclear power station,also used by the military to power nuclear submarines and in nuclear weapons.
Both involve chemical bonds breaking
Assuming the question is asking for percent composition by mass,
The molar mass of sodium bicarbonate is:
22.990 + 1.008 + 12.011 + 3*15.999 = 84.006 g/mol
The molar mass of 3 oxygen atoms is:
3*15.999 = 47.997 g/mol
The percentage composition by mass is:
47.997/84.006 * 100% = 57.1% (3 s.f.)
