Interpretation:
The mass composition of nitrogen, oxygen, and argon is to be calculated.
Concept Introduction: The volume percent is defined as the volume of solute present in
The density of a substance is equal to the ratio of mass and volume of a solution.
The relation between mass
The relation between a number of moles
Mass percent is defined as the product of the ratio of the mass of solute to the mass of solution and hundred. It is expressed as follows:

- Calculate the molarity of solutions prepared by dilution or calculate the quantities needed to carry out a dilution to prepare a solution of a specified concentration.arrow_forwardIs there a difference between a homogeneous mixture of hydrogen and oxygen in a 2:1 mole ratio and a sample of water vapor? Explain.arrow_forwardMany cereals are made with high moisture content so that the cereal can be formed into various shapes before it is dried. A cereal product containing 58% H2O by mass is produced at the rate of 1000. kg/h. What mass of water must be evaporated per hour if the final product contains only 20.% water?arrow_forward
- A sample of a hydrocarbon (a compound consisting of only carbon and hydrogen) contains 2.59 1023 atoms of hydrogen and is 17.3% hydrogen by mass. If the molar mass of the hydrocarbon is between 55 and 65 g/mol, what amount (moles) of compound is present, and what is the mass of the sample?arrow_forward1.00 g of a certain Compound X, known to be made of carbon, hydrogen and perhaps oxygen, and to have a molecular molar mass of 180. g/mol, is burned completely in excess oxygen, and the mass of the products carefully measured: product mass 1.47 g carbon dioxide 0.60 g water Use this information to find the molecular formula of X.arrow_forwardCalculate the mass percentage of oxygen in the organic molecule whose line structure is shown below. Express your answer with four significant figures.arrow_forward
- A 4.560 g sample containing impure CuCl2x2H2O was heated to constant mass. The sample mass after heating to drive off the water was 3.774 g. What was the mass percent of CuCl2x2H2O in the original sample?arrow_forwardDetermine the mass percentage of carbon, C, hydrogen, H and oxygen, O, in C7H14O. Refer to the periodic table for the atomic mass of each element. C = ___ % H = ___ % O = ___ %arrow_forwardCalculate the mass percentage of oxygen in the organic molecule whose line structure is shown below. Express your answer with three significant figures.
