James was given a sample of sodium bicarbonate NaHCO3 in a weighing dish to analyze. His teacher asked him to find the percent o

f each element in the compound. He easily calculated the first three elements, but was stumped when he got to oxygen. What is the percent oxygen in the compound? Round to the nearest whole number.

Answer:

57.14 % ≈ 57 %

Explanation:

First step is to find the molar mass of the compound. This is done by adding the atomic masses of the elements present.

The atomic masses of the elements are given below;

Na = 22.99 g/mol

H = 1.01 g/mol

C = 12.01 g/mol

O = 16.00 g/mol

NaHCO3 = (1 mol * Na) + (1 mol * H) + ( 1 mol * C) + (3 mol * O)

NaHCO3 = (1 * 22.99) + (1 * 1.01) + (1 * 12.01) + (3 * 16)

NaHCO3 = 22.99 + 1.01 + 12.01 + 48

NaHCO3 = 84.01g

Formular for percentage composition;

Percentage composition = (Mass of element / Mass of Compound) * 100

Percentage composition = (48 / 84.01) * 100

Percentage composition = 57.14 %

Rounding up to the nearest whole number = 57 %

This question could be answered easily if the results of the abundance of the other elements are given. You will just have to subtract the sum of all their abundances to 100. Since it's not given, the solution would just be:

Na = 23 g/mol* 1 = 23 g
H = 1 g/mol * 1 = 1 g
C = 12 g/mol * 1 = 12 g
O = 16 g/mol * 3 = 48 g
Total = 84 g

% O = 48/84 * 100 = <em>57.14%</em>

Describe how to prepare the solution using a 250.0 mL volumetric flask by placing the steps in the correct order. Not all of the
padilas [110]

Answer:

The correct order will be

a. Transfer the measured amount of NaCl to the volumetric flask.

e. Dissolve the NaCl in less than 250 mL of water and mix well.

b. Dilute the solution with water to the 250.0 mL mark.

Explanation:

Preparation of NaCl solution in 250.0 ml volumetric flask:

Add the weighed NaCl directly to volumetric flask and add small amount of water to it and mix it will until all NaCl gets dissolved( if not add small water amount of water more)

After dissolving NaCl add the water upto the mark.

The correct order will be

a. Transfer the measured amount of NaCl to the volumetric flask.

e. Dissolve the NaCl in less than 250 mL of water and mix well.

b. Dilute the solution with water to the 250.0 mL mark.

Cherylanne mixes together Chemical A and Chemical B in a test tube, forming Chemical C. The mixture instantly turns cool to the
mina [271]

Answer : Chemicals A and B form an endothermic reaction, and chemicals C and D form an exothermic reaction.

Explanation :

Endothermic reaction : When the system absorb heat from the surrounding then the surrounding become cool.

Exothermic reaction : when the system releases heat into the surrounding then the surrounding become hot.

According to the question,

when we mixed chemical A and chemical B together in a test tube to form chemical C, the mixture become cool. This means that the system is absorbing heat from the surrounding and thus the reaction is called a endothermic reaction.

And when we added chemical D in chemical C, the new mixture becomes hot and explodes. This means that the system is releasing heat into the surrounding and thus the reaction is called as exothermic reaction.

Anni [7]

The answer to this question would be CrO3 or H2SO4. These reagents would efficiently accomplish the transformation of 2-methyl-3-cyclopentenol into 2-methyl-3-cyclopentenone. The synthetic strategy is used for the bond forming and transformation of the molecule. The reagent required depends on the type of molecule.
