What is the weight percent of each O in SiO^2?
kati45 [8]

Answer:

53.2%

Explanation:

  • Write the mass of the elements in your molecule:

Mass of Si in 1 mol SiO2 =28.1g

Mass of O  in 1 mol SiO2 =16x2g= 32g

  • Now find the mass of your compound

Mass of compound= 28.1+32=60.1

  • Divide each element's mass by the mass of the compound to find the percent by mass following this formula:

% by mass = (mass of element/mass of compound) x 100

% by mass of oxigen= (32g/60.1) x 100

% by mass of oxigen= 53.2%

I hope you find this information useful and interesting! Good luck!

Giving brainliest and 50 points

The other ones don't make sense, radiant energy is electromagnetic and gravitational energy. You can't tell how many planets are in its solar system from only this information. The number of galaxies is also impossible to tell. The only other one that could perhaps make sense is the distance to the center of its galaxy. But, this again is disproved as one star can't tell you the position of the center.
