Answer:

\%\ Composition\ of\ iron=69.92\ \%

Explanation:

The percent composition indicates the mass percentage of a specific element within the compound.

The chemical formula for chromium(III) nitrate is Cr(NO_3)_3.

The molar mass for chromium(III) nitrate is calculated at 238.011 g/mol.

Each mole of chromium(III) nitrate includes 9 moles of oxygen.

The molar mass of oxygen is 16 g/mol.

Hence, Mass = Molar mass * Moles = 16 * 9 g = 144 g.

\%\ Composition\ of\ iron=\frac{Mass_{iron}}{Total\ mass}\times 100

\%\ Composition\ of\ iron=\frac{144}{238.011}\times 100

\%\ Composition\ of\ iron=69.92\ \%

What is the percentage by mass of solution formed by dissolving 36.0 grams of HCl in 98.0 grams of water?
eduard [2782]
Convert HCl and H2O to moles.

36.0 g of HCl = 0.987 moles HCl

98.0 g of H2O = 5.44 moles H2O

Based on the stoichiometric ratio for HCl,
there are 0.987 moles of H and 0.987 moles of Cl.

For H₂O, according to the stoichiometric ratio, you have 10.88 moles of H and 5.44 moles of O.

Combining them:
11.867 moles H
0.987 moles Cl
5.44 moles O

Revert the moles back to grams, then divide by the total mass and multiply by 100 for the percentage by mass.

11.867 moles H = 11.96 g H
0.987 moles Cl = 34.99 g Cl
5.44 moles O = 87.03 g O

11.96/(36.0+98.0)(100) = 8.93% for H
34.99/(36.0+98.0)(100) = 26.11% for Cl
87.03/(36.0+98.0)(100) = 64.96% for O.

eduard [2782]
False, it's solely heterogeneous. Explanation: The degradation of the ozone layer caused by CFC molecules happens in the gaseous state since it does not involve liquids or solids at stratospheric conditions. Additionally, the reaction occurs independently as ozone is chemically unstable, eliminating the need for a catalyst.

What do you do with unused (excess) chemicals that are taken from reagent bottles?
Alekssandra [3086]
Unused chemicals should never be returned to their original containers, as this could lead to contamination. The leftover chemicals should be disposed of in the appropriate waste bin. If there is uncertainty about the procedure, consult your teacher.
