What is the percentage by mass of H in  CH3COOH

A.

1.7%

B.

5.0%

C.

6.7%

D.

7.1%

Correct answer is C

- molecular mass (or molar mass) is 60.05 g/mol

- with 4 atoms of hydrogen present

( 4 / 60 ) X 100

≈6.7%

222.

Stoichiometry is based on the law?

A.

multiple proportion

B.

constant composition

C.

conservation of energy

D.

conservation of mass

Correct answer is D

The principles of stoichiometry are based upon the law of conservation of mass. Matter can neither be created nor destroyed, so the mass of every element present in the product(s) of a chemical reaction must be equal to the mass of each and every element present in the reactant(s).

223.

How many moles of carbon(iv)oxide contains 16.0g of oxygen?

[ C = 12.0, O = 16.0 ]

A.

0.20 mol

B.

0.25 mol

C.

0.40 mol

D.

0.50 mol

Correct answer is D

1 Mole of carbon(iv)oxide contains 32g of Oxygen

: 0.5 Mole of carbon(iv)oxide contains 16g of Oxygen

224.

When an equilibrium is established between dissolved and undissolved solutes, the solution is said to be?

A.

Saturated

B.

Unsaturated

C.

Concentrated

D.

Diluted

Correct answer is A

The term saturated solution is defined in chemistry as a solution in which no more solute can be dissolved in the solvent.

225.
