- D.
2,2,2
Correct Answer
B. 2,1,2Explanation
The equation represents the reaction between hydrogen gas (H2) and oxygen gas (O2) to form water (H2O). In order to balance the equation, the number of atoms of each element on both sides of the equation must be equal. The equation is balanced when there are 2 molecules of hydrogen gas, 1 molecule of oxygen gas, and 2 molecules of water. Therefore, the coefficients that will balance the equation are 2, 1, and 2.Rate this question:

- D.
2,1,3
Correct Answer
B. 4,3,2Explanation
The equation represents the reaction between aluminum (Al) and oxygen (O2) to form aluminum oxide (Al2O3). In order to balance the equation, the number of atoms of each element on both sides of the equation must be equal. By examining the equation, it can be seen that there are 4 Al atoms on the left side and 2 Al atoms on the right side. To balance the Al atoms, a coefficient of 2 is needed in front of Al on the left side. Similarly, there are 3 O atoms on the left side and 3 O atoms on the right side, so no coefficient is needed for O2. Finally, there are 2 O atoms in Al2O3 on the right side, so a coefficient of 2 is needed in front of Al2O3 on the right side. Therefore, the coefficients that balance the equation are 2, 3, 2.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
B. 45.76% Sulfur and 54.39 % FluorineExplanation
First find molar mass: Sulfur 32.06 + Fluorine 2 (19) = 70.06 g
Sulfur percentage: (32.06 divided by the molar mass 70.06) x 100% = 45.76%
Fluorine percentage (38 divided by 70.06) x 100 % = 54.39%Rate this question:

What is the percent composition of Ethyne? C2H2?
- A.
92.31% Carbon and 7.76% Hydrogen
- B.
82% Carbon and 18% Hydrogen
- C.
82.7% Carbon and 17.3 % Hydrogen
- D.
90% Carbon and 14 % Hydrogen
Correct Answer
A. 92.31% Carbon and 7.76% HydrogenExplanation
The percent composition of a compound refers to the mass percentage of each element in the compound. In the case of Ethyne (C2H2), there are two carbon atoms and two hydrogen atoms. To calculate the percent composition, we need to determine the molar mass of each element and divide it by the molar mass of the compound, then multiply by 100.
The molar mass of carbon (C) is 12.01 g/mol, and the molar mass of hydrogen (H) is 1.01 g/mol. The molar mass of Ethyne (C2H2) is (2 * 12.01 g/mol) + (2 * 1.01 g/mol) = 26.04 g/mol.
To calculate the percent composition of carbon, we divide the molar mass of carbon by the molar mass of Ethyne and multiply by 100: (2 * 12.01 g/mol) / 26.04 g/mol * 100 = 92.31%.
To calculate the percent composition of hydrogen, we divide the molar mass of hydrogen by the molar mass of Ethyne and multiply by 100: (2 * 1.01 g/mol) / 26.04 g/mol * 100 = 7.76%.
Therefore, the correct answer is 92.31% carbon and 7.76% hydrogen.Rate this question:
