What is the percent composition by mass of oxygen in Ca(NO3)2 (gram-formula= 164 g/mol)?

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%.

The latent heat of melting is 80 calories for 1 gram of ice. if 1 gram of ice absorbs 60 calories what do i get?
Eva8 [605]
Latent heat of melting is the energy that a solid absorbs to change its phase as its liquid. During this process, since all energy is used to change the phase, the temperature is constant.

Here the latent energy of melting for 1 g of ice is 80 calories and that 1 g of ice only absorbed 60 calories. hence the phase is not changed because it requires more 20 calories to melt.

Hence 1 g of ice remains as its solid phase (ice).

How many neutrons are in 7.00 g of 13c?
Minchanka [31]
You multiply the number of atoms by 12 to get how many electrons (since each atom has 12 electrons in it)
you multiply the number of atoms by 13 to get how many neutrons
(since each atom of this isotope has 13 neutrons in it)

What is the effect of adding more CO2 to the following equilibrium reaction? CO2 + H2O H2CO3 A. More H2CO3 is produced. B. More
Gre4nikov [31]
I think the answer is D no change. Though you add more CO2, but the pressure is not mentioned. If the pressure is constant and the reaction is already balanced, the H2O is also saturation and can not absorb more CO2.
