Percent composition by mass of oxygen =
((16.0*6)/(40.1+2*(14.0+16.0*3)))*100%
= 58.5%
therefore, the answer is D

Answer:

A. 9.8%

Explanation:

Percentage Composition = (Mass of element /  Mass of compound) * 100

Mass of oxygen = 16g

Molar mass of Ca(NO3)2

Where;

Ca = 40

N = 14

O =16

Molar mass = 40 + 2[14 + 3(16)] = 164

Substituting into the formular;

Percentage composition = (16 / 164) * 100

Percentage Composition = 0.0975 * 100

Percentage Composition = 9.75% ≈ 9.8 %

Correct option = A

If 25.8 grams of BaO dissolve in enough water to make a 212 gram solution, what is the percent by mass of the solution?
Scorpion4ik [409]
Mass of solute = 25.8 g

mass solution = 212 g

% =(  mass of solute / mass solution ) x 100

% = ( 25.8 / 212 ) x 100

% = 0.122 x 100

= 12.2 %

Which of the following statements best describes why a solution of 6.00 g of Ca(NO3)2?in 30.0 g of water has a greater boiling-p
sukhopar [10]
Boiling-point elevation is a colligative property.

That means, the the boiling-point elevation depends on the molar content (fraction) of solute.

The dependency is ΔTb = Kb*m

Where ΔTb is the elevation in the boiling point, kb is the boiling constant, and m is the molality.

A solution of 6.00 g of Ca(NO3) in 30.0 g of water has 4 times the molal concentration of a solution of 3.00 g of Ca(NO3)2 in 60.0 g of water.:

(6.00g/molar mass) / 0.030kg = 200 /molar mass
(3.00g/molar mass) / 0.060kg =   50/molar mass

=> 200 / 50 = 4.

Then, given the direct proportion of the elevation of the boiling point with the molal concentration, the solution of 6.00 g  of CaNO3 in 30 g of water will exhibit a greater boiling point elevation.

Or, what is the same, the solution with higher molality will have the higher boiling point.
