A 5.5 gg sample of a substance contains only carbon and oxygen. Carbon makes up 35%% of the mass of the substance. The rest is made of oxygen. You are asked to determine the mass of oxygen in the sample. Which of the following expressions demonstrates a mathematical procedure to solve this problem using the proper order of operations? a. ((100 - 35)/100) times 5.5 grams =
b. 100 - 35/100 times 5.5 grams =
c. 100 - (35/100) times 5.5 grams=

a. ((100 - 35)/100) times 5.5 grams = 3.575 g

Explanation:

Given that:

The sample of carbon and oxygen = 5.5g

where carbon makes 35% of the mass of the substances.

It implies that oxygen will make: (100 - 35)% = 65%

Suppose y be the mass of the oxygen;

Then:

The mass of carbon

= 1.925 g

metals are good conductor of electricity. it has free electrons on their surface. according to electron pool theory, each atom present in a metal crystal losses all of its valence electron and as a result a pool of free is form. these pool of electrons are free to move and   conduct electricity easily   while making metal as good conductor.

the correct answer is a. the ability of electrons to flow throughout the metal.

if it's not useful, feel free to report for mistake in answer.
