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

would you expect the N-O bond in HNO2 to be longer, shorter, or the same length as the N-O bonds in NO2^-
prohojiy [21]
Longer, this is because the H in HNO2 is bonded with an oxygen, no longer allowing this structure to have a resonance structure.
NO2 on the other hand has one double bond and one single bond, so it has a resonance structure. And resonance structures are actually one structure so there isn't really a single and double bond, it's actually a 1 and 1/2 bond that calls for a higher bond order.
And I higher bond order will result in a shorter lengths!
I hope this helps out!!! And just out of curiosity, is this off of an AP FRQ packet??

33 protons 36 electrons 45 neutrons
Artist 52 [7]

As has an atomic number of 33, so it has 33 protons.  

It has a charge of 3-, so there are three more electrons than protons. Thus, there are 36 electrons.  

It has a mass of 75, which is the sum of neutrons and protons.  

33+n=75 ---> n = 75 - 33 = 42 neutrons  

The answer is e) 33 protons, 42 neutrons and 36 electrons.

How many grams of carbon dioxide are in 35.6 liters of co2
lina2011 [118]
The grams of carbon  dioxide  that are in 35.6 liters  of Co2 is calculates as below
calculate the  number of moles of CO2

At STP  1 mole  = 22.4 L

what  about  35.6 liters

=   1mole x 35.6  liters/ 22.4 liters = 1.589  moles

mass of CO2 =  moles x molar  mass of CO2

= 1.589 mol x 44 g/mol  =  69.92 grams
