Let's start with the amount given in percent. Let our basis be 100 grams of compound. So, that means that in this amount, 57.1 g is oxygen and 100-57.1=42.9 g is carbon. Since there is 1:1 atom ratio, it also means that moles oxygen = moles carbon.
Moles = Mass/Relative Mass
Let x be the relative mass of oxygen
57.1/16 = 42.9/x
Solving for x,
<em>x = 12.02 amu</em>
Bond Angle in the molecule of Methane according to the VSEPR theory is that it has a bond angle of 109.5 degrees with respect to the Carbon and the Hydrogen
Answer:
2.772 seconds
Explanation:
Given that;
t1/2 = 0.693/k
Where;
t1/2 = half life of the reaction
k= rate constant
Note that decomposition is a first order reaction since the rate of reaction depends on the concentration of one reactant
t1/2 = 0.693/2.5 x 10-1 s-1
t1/2= 2.772 seconds
