If 3.5 g of element X reacts with 10.5 g of element Y to form the compound XY.
what is the percent by mass of element X in the compound? The percent by mass
of element Y?

Respuesta :

Answer:

The percentage by mass of element X is 25 %.

The percentage by mass of element Y is 75 %

Explanation:

X + Y ⇒ XY

3.5 g of element X + 10.5 g of element Y = 14g in total

⇒Element X : 3.5g / 14g = 0.25 ⇒ x 100 % = 25 %

⇒Element Y : 10.5 / 14 = 0.75 ⇒ x 100 % = 75 %

The percentage by mass of element X is 25 %.

The percentage by mass of element Y is 75 %
