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%.

When 5ml of HCl was added
777dan777 [17]

Answer:

A. There was still 140 ml of volume available for the reaction

Explanation:

According to Avogadro's law, we have that equal volumes of all gases  contains equal number of molecules

According to the ideal gas law, we have;

The pressure exerted by a gas, P = n·R·T/V

Where;

n = The number of moles

T = The temperature of the gas

R = The universal gas constant

V = The volume of the gas

Therefore, given that the volumes and number of moles of the removed air and added HCl are the same, the pressure and therefore, the volume available for the reaction will remain the same

There will still be the same volume available for the reaction.
