Answer: Ions result from atoms or molecules that have gained or lost one or more valence electrons, giving them a positive or negative charge. Those with a negative charge are called anions and those with a positive charge are called cations. Cations (positively-charged ions) and anions (negatively-charged ions) are formed when a metal loses electrons, and a nonmetal gains those electrons. ... And all of them form an anion with a single negative charge. The VIA elements gain two electrons to form anions with a 2- charge.

No, the properties of a substance are not affected by the amount of a substance.
Answer: "condensation reaction" .

I’m assuming you mean barium nitrite, Ba(NO2)2.
First convert grams of Ba(NO2)2 to moles using the molar mass of Ba(NO2)2. Then use the mole ratio of 4 moles of oxygen per 1 mole of Ba(NO2)2 to convert to moles of oxygen. Then use the molar mass of oxygen to convert to grams of oxygen.
45.7 g Ba(NO2)2 • 1 mol Ba(NO2)2 / 229.35 g Ba(NO2)2 • 4 mol O / 1 mol Ba(NO2)2 • 16.0 g O / 1 mol O = 12.8 g oxygen
