Answer:
Oxygen needed for Stannous Oxide: 1.350g
Oxygen needed for Stannic Oxide: 2.710g
Explanation:
You're working with 10.00 grams of Tin mass for both Stannous Oxide and Stannic Oxide.
- 10.00 grams of Tin for Stannous Oxide is already 88.10% of the mass needed. You need to find how much 11.90% of Oxygen mass is needed to create the compound. Find a factor that you can multiply 88.10% by to get 100%
- 88.10 * x = 100
- Solve for x and you get 1.135
- Multiply that number by the mass of Tin (10.00 grams) to get the complete compound (Mixture of Tin and Oxygen).
- 10.00g * 1.135 = 11.35g (Tin + Oxygen)
- Subtract (Compound - Tin) to find Oxygen
- 11.35g - 10.00g = 1.350g (Oxygen)
Repeat the process with Stannic Oxide
- Find the factor that gets 78.70% to 100%
- 100/78.70 = 1.271
- Multiply by Tin mass
- 10.00g * 1.271 = 12.71g (Compound)
- Subtract Compound by Tin
- 12.71g - 10.00g = 2.710g (Oxygen)
