Answer:
finding the mass percentage oven element in a compound might sound complicated, but the calculation is simple. For example, to determine the mass percentage of hydrogen in water H2O, divide the major mass of hydrogen by the total molar mass of water and then multiply the result by 100
The grams of oxygen that are required to produce 1 mole of H₂O is 16 g ( answer B)
<u><em> calculation</em></u>
2 CH₄ + 2NH₃ +3 O₂ → 2HCN + 6H₂O
step 1: use the mole ratio to find moles of O₂
from equation above the mole ratio of O₂: H₂O is 3:6 therefore the moles of O₂ = 1 mole x3/6 =0.5 moles
step 2: find mass of O₂
mass= moles x molar mass
from periodic table the molar mass of O₂ = 16 x2= 32 g/mol
mass O₂ = 0.5 moles x 32 g/mol = 16 g (answer B)
