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%.

Why are plastic containers preferred to glass containers for storing chemicals in the laboratory?
Nookie1986 [14]
Plastics are non-corrosive and non-reactive in nature. So they are used for storing chemicals in the laboratory. They are used for strong chemicals because they do not react with chemicals neither do they corrode

If an object has a density of 0.55 g/mL, what is its density in cg/L?
expeople1 [14]

"cg" is centigram, which is one-hundredth of a gram.

I will first convert from g to cg (multiply by 100), then from mL to L (multiply by 1000).

\frac{0.55g}{mL}*\frac{100cg}{1g}*\frac{1000mL}{1L}=55,000\frac{cg}{L} \ or \ 5.5e4\frac{cg}{L}

How many grams of salt are in 1 kilogram of seawater with average salinity? quizzlet?
Degger [83]
<span>35 grams The average salinity of seawater is 35 parts per thousand, so multiply the mass of seawater provided by 0.035 and you'll get the amount of salt (mostly sodium chloride) dissolved in it. So 1000 g * 0.035 = 35 g Therefore in 1 kilogram of seawater with average salinity, there is 35 grams of salt.</span>
