Answer:

Mass of solution=100g

mass of salt=20g

so; mass of solute=80g

percentage composition =(mass of salt/total

mass) ×100

=  \frac{20}{100}  \times 100 \\  = 20\%

glad to help you

hope it helps

The percent composition by mass of a 100g salt solution which contains 20g salt is \bold{16.6\%}

<u>Solution:</u>  

Percent composition is calculated as, weight of the solute divided by amount of solute added to 100 g is solution multiplied by 100.

\Rightarrow \frac{\text {weight of solute}(g)}{\text {weight of solute}(g)+\text {weight of solution(g)}} \times 100

Given, 100 g of salt solution with 20 g of salt  

Weight of the solute and solvent is 20 + 100 g = 120 g  

percent composition=\frac{20}{120} \times 100=\frac{200}{12}=16.6

\therefore \text { percent composition } =16.6 \%

What mass of oxygen reacts when 84.9 g of iron is consumed in the following reaction: Fe+O2= Fe2O3
konstantin123 [22]
First we will calculate the number of moles of Iron:
n =  \frac{m}{M}&#10;, where n is the number of moles, m is the mass of iron in the reaction and M is the Atomic weight.
n= \frac{84.9}{55.845} = 1,52 moles of Iron.
The same number of moles of Oxygen will take part in the reaction.
So 1,52= \frac{mOxygen}{32} where 32 is the Atomical Weight of Oxygen (16 x 2).
=>mOxygen=32*1,52=48,64g

A student in a chemistry laboratory has access to two acid solutions. The first one is 20% acid and the second solution is 45% a
Ksju [112]

Volume of each solution : 60 ml 20% and 40 ml 45%

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

20% and 45% acid

100 ml of 30% acid

Required

Volume of each solution

Solution

Molarity from 2 solutions :

Vm Mm = V₁. M₁ + V₂. M₂  

m = mixed solution

V = volume

M = molarity

V₁ = x ml

V₂ = (100 - x) ml

Input the value :

100 . 0.3 = x . 0.2 + (100-x) . 0.45

30 = 0.2x+45-0.45x

0.25x=15

x= 60 ml

V₁ = 60 ml

V₂ = 100 - 60 = 40 ml

A 1.00 liter container holds a mixture of 0.52 mg of He and 2.05 mg of Ne at 25oC. Determine the partial pressures of He and Ne
Ymorist [56]

Answer:

pHe = 3.2 × 10⁻³ atm

pNe = 2.5 × 10⁻³ atm

P = 5.7 × 10⁻³ atm

Explanation:

Given data

Volume = 1.00 L

Temperature = 25°C + 273 = 298 K

mHe = 0.52 mg = 0.52 × 10⁻³ g

mNe = 2.05 mg = 2.05 × 10⁻³ g

The molar mass of He is 4.00 g/mol. The moles of He are:

0.52 × 10⁻³ g × (1 mol / 4.00 g) = 1.3 × 10⁻⁴ mol

We can find the partial pressure of He using the ideal gas equation.

P × V = n × R × T

P × 1.00 L = 1.3 × 10⁻⁴ mol × (0.082 atm.L/mol.K) × 298 K

P = 3.2 × 10⁻³ atm

The molar mass of Ne is 20.18 g/mol. The moles of Ne are:

2.05 × 10⁻³ g × (1 mol / 20.18 g) = 1.02 × 10⁻⁴ mol

We can find the partial pressure of Ne using the ideal gas equation.

P × V = n × R × T

P × 1.00 L = 1.02 × 10⁻⁴ mol × (0.082 atm.L/mol.K) × 298 K

P = 2.5 × 10⁻³ atm

The total pressure is the sum of the partial pressures.

P = 3.2 × 10⁻³ atm + 2.5 × 10⁻³ atm = 5.7 × 10⁻³ atm

Material A has a small latent heat of fusion. Material B has a large heat of fusion. Which of the following statements is true?
Olin [163]
The correct answer would be the first option. Material A having a smaller latent heat of fusion would mean that it will take only less energy to phase change into the liquid phase. Latent of heat of fusion is the amount of energy needed of a substance to phase change from solid to liquid or liquid to solid.

lidiya [134]
C_5H_{11}N + H2O ---\ \textgreater \  C_5H_{11}NH^{+} + OH^{-}

Nitrogen lone pair will act as a base,removing H+ from water leaving behind OH- ion. 
Why ?
Because N is a better donor than O.
