Are elements always the product of a decomposition reaction?

1. suppose a reaction mixture, when diluted with water, afforded 300 ml of an aqueous solution of 30 g of the reaction product malononitrile [ch2(cn)2], which is to be isolated by extraction with ether. the solubility of malononitrile in ether at room temperature is 20.0 g/100 ml, and in water is 13.3 g/100 ml. what weight of malononitrile would be recovered by extraction with (a) three 100-ml portions of ether and (b) one 300-ml portion of ether? suggestion: for each extraction, let x equal the weight extracted into the ether layer. in part (a), the concentration in the ether layer is x/100 and in the water layer is (30 x)/300; the ratio of these quantities is equal to k 20/13.3.

Calculate the molarity of 48.0 ml of 6.00 m h2so4 diluted to 0.250 l .

The volume of helium in a blimp is 6.28 x 10^9 millimeters. the density of helium in the blimp is .1786 kilogram/meter^3. find the mass of the helium in the blimp.
