Chemistry

Makovka662 [10]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

5.66 %.

Explanation:

<em>mass percent is the ratio of the mass of the solute to the mass of the solution multiplied by 100.</em>

<em />

<em>mass % = (mass of solute/mass of solution) x 100.</em>

<em></em>

mass of potassium nitrite = 30.0 g,

mass of the solution = mass of water + mass of potassium nitrite = 500.0 g + 30.0 g = 530.0 g.

<em>∴ mass % = (mass of solute/mass of solution) x 100</em> = (30.0 g/530.0 g) x 100 = <em>5.66 %.</em>

Why do two oxygen atoms form a double covalent bond?
elena-s [515]

A lone oxygen atom has 6 electrons in its outer shell which is not very stable, whereas as full octet (8 outer shell electrons) is stable. In order to achieve this two oxygen atoms will share 4 electrons, each contributing 2 electrons. Since these electrons exist within the orbitals of both atoms, to oxygen atoms essentially achieve a full octet.
