To find this, we will use this formula:

Molar mass of element
------------------------------------ x 100
Molar mass of compound

So, first lets calculate the mass of the compound as a whole. We use the atomic masses on the periodic table to determine this.

Ca: 40.078 g/mol
N2 (there is two nitrogens): 28.014 g/mol
O6 (there are six nitrogens: 3 times 2): 95.994 g/mol

When we add all of those numbers up together, we get 164.086. That is the molar mass for the whole compound. However, we are trying to figure out what percent of the compound oxygen makes up. From the molar mass, we know that 95.994 of the 164.086 is oxygen. Lets plug those numbers into our equation!

95.994
-----------
164.086

When we divide those two numbers, we get .585. When we multiply that by 100, we get 58.5.

So, the percent compostition of oxygen in Ca(NO3)2, or, calcium nitrate, is 58.5%.

What is the limiting reactant when 19.9 g CuO react with 2.02 g H2?
Harlamova29_29 [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

use the equation

moles = mass/mr

=19.9/79.5

=0.250moles of CuO

then do the same for

H = 2.02/1

=2.02

so CuO is the limiting reagent because there is less amount of it.

Hope this helps  :)

What is the most appropriate unit of astronomical distance to represent the distance between an earth an orbiting space station
Reil [10]
Astronauts use "Astronomical Unit" to measure the distance between planets in our solar system "only". To measure long distances like between 2 galaxies, they use "light years". One Astronomical Unit = Average distance between sun and earth which is equal to 149.6 million kilometers. Ping me if you have any doubt.

Which of these elements is unlikely to have a reaction with any element or compound?
Kay [80]
Argon is a noble gas. Argon has a full outer shell. This makes it so that it does not need to react with any of the other elements to be stable.


With Rubidium and Cobalt its a whole different story.

I hope that helps!
