crude oil is just that, crude. It is not required to know the exact composition of crude oil. Each manufacturer of crude oil will have a different combination to each other.

-Yeah, but each must contain some identical chemicals, otherwise it wouldn't be oil.

-Also it wouldn't be considered a mineral if it didn't have some type of combination of elements.

The number of protons contained in each element gives that element what number?

The number of protons in the nucleus of an element gives that element its ATOMIC NUMBER.


How do you convert between the molar percentage of a compound e.g. CaO and the atomic percentage of the elements e.g. Ca and O?

To convert from the molar percentage of a compound to the atomic percentage of its elements, you can use the molar mass of each element to calculate the number of moles of each element in one mole of the compound. Then, you can use these values to determine the atomic percentage of each element. For example, in CaO, one mole of CaO contains 1 mole of Ca and 1 mole of O. So, the atomic percentage of Ca would be (molar percentage of CaO) * (molar mass of Ca) / (molar mass of CaO), and similarly for O.


What information about each element is about contained in its box in the periodic table?

In each element's box on the periodic table, you can typically find its atomic number, chemical symbol, atomic mass, and perhaps its name. It may also include the element's electron configuration and the period and group number to which it belongs.


Is the element with largest atomic mass always present in highest percentage by mass in a compound?

No, the element with the largest atomic mass is not always present in the highest percentage by mass in a compound. The percentage by mass of an element in a compound is determined by its atomic mass and the total mass of the compound. The composition of a compound can vary based on the number of atoms of each element present.


Why do scientist use weighted average instead of straight mathematical average of masses of isotopes to indicate the atomic mass of an element?

The percentage of each isotope is different.

What are the crude oil components and the percentage of each item?

The term, "crude oil" is a non-scientific one that eludes folks to believe that one crude is like other crudes. Not so. Each crude is unique, and therefore it can't be stated that "crude contains" so and so a percentage of this or that compound.

The entire barrel is used and each barrel produces about 19.6 gallons of gasoline. Each barrel contains 42 gallons of crude oil.


How are mass calculations used?

Mass percentage calculations determine the percentage of an element based on mass in a compound. This can then be used to determine the percentage in a compound of each individual element.

What is the definition of percent composition?

Percent composition is the percentage by mass of each element in a compound. It is calculated by dividing the mass of each element in the compound by the total molar mass of the compound and then multiplying by 100 to get the percentage.


What is the percent compistion of a compound?

The percent composition of a compound tells the amount of each element in the compound as a percentage. It is possible to find if the mass of an element and the total mass of the compound is known.


What does percent composition tell you about a molecule?

Percentage composition= (mass of the element/mass of the molecule)*100 The fraction of the molecule's mass that comes from the element's mass


Why need to know the percentage of each isotope of an element to determine the atomic mass?

Because each isotope of an element has a mass different from any other isotope of the same element, and the atomic mass of an element is an average, weighted by the proportion of each isotope, in the naturally occurring element.


The mass of each type of element in a compound compared to the ovrall mass in the compound is referred to as the?

The mass of each type of element in a compound compared to the overall mass of the compound is referred to as the mass percentage or mass percent composition. It is calculated by dividing the mass of each element by the total mass of the compound and multiplying by 100 to get a percentage.


What information is contained in each square of periodic table?

Each column will generally have the symbol of the element (sometimes name of the element also), the atomic number, the mass number, the state in which the element is present at room temperature. Some Periodic Table will also have the electronic configuration or electronegativity.
