Concept introduction:
The law of mass conservation - Introduced by the famous French chemist Antoine Lavoisier, the law states that there is no change in the total mass of the substances that go into any physical or
The law of definite composition - This law can be defined as; a particular compound maintains an exact universal proportion of elements in its composition, irrespective of the source. The proposal for this law was made by Joseph Proust.
The multiple proportions law - The ratio of the weights of an element with variable mass is small whole numbers when it forms more than one compound by combining with an element with fixed weight.
(b)
Interpretation:
The mass fractions of calcium and fluorine in a given sample of fluorite are to be determined.

The mass fraction of an element in a compound is defined as the ratio of the sum of the masses of all the atoms of that element to that of the mass of one mole of compound.

Interpretation:
The mass percents of calcium and fluorine in a given sample of fluorite are to be determined.

Mass percent of an element represents the percentage concentration of that element in a compound. It is equal to the mass fraction expressed as a percentage. The general formula to calculate the mass percent of an element A in a compound is as follows:

- The sum of the numbers in the name of isA. 11; B. 13; C. 10; D. 12; E. none of the other answers iscorrect. I believe the awnser should be E to this problem but the solution to this problem is D 12. I'm honestly unsure how that's the solution. If you can please explain the steps to this type of problem and how to approach a problem like this it would be greatly appreciated!arrow_forwardConsider the following data for phosphorus: g atomic mass 30.974 mol electronegativity 2.19 kJ electron affinity 72. mol kJ ionization energy 1011.8 mol kJ heat of fusion 0.64 mol You may find additional useful data in the ALEKS Data tab.

- Hello! I have a 500 Hz H-NMR for 1,5-bis-(4-methoxyphenyl)-penta-1,4-dien-3-one. I need to label the signals with the corresponding H's. Then, find out if the two alkenes are cis or trans by calculating the J values. I believe that I have the H-NMR labeled correctly, but not sure if I got the J values correct to determine if the two alkenes in the compound will make the compound cis or trans.arrow_forwardWhat is the only possible H-Sb-H bond angle in SbH3?arrow_forwardpls helparrow_forward
