Advocard [28]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

40%

Explanation:

We'll begin by obtaining the molar mass of MgO. This is illustrated below:

Molar Mass of MgO = 24 + 16 = 40g/mol

Observing the formula MgO, we have 1 atom of O in it.

The percentage composition by mass of oxygen in MgO is given by:

Mass of O/Molar Mass of MgO x 100

= 16/40 x 100 = 40%

Lynna [10]
Electrons = protons
protons = atomic number
protons + neutrons = atomic mass

Therefore: a) protons + 7 = 15
                        protons= 15 -7
                        protons= 8

B) Remember proton = atomic number
     so atomic number = 8

C)Now we know the atomic number so we can easily check on the periodic table what element has an atomic number of 8, which is Oxygen
