Baking soda (nahco3) is an active ingredient in some antacids. determine the percent composition of oxygen in baking soda.

1 answer:

8 0

Assuming the question is asking for percent composition by mass,

The molar mass of sodium bicarbonate is:

22.990 + 1.008 + 12.011 + 3*15.999 = 84.006 g/mol

The molar mass of 3 oxygen atoms is:

3*15.999 = 47.997 g/mol

The percentage composition by mass is:

47.997/84.006 * 100% = 57.1% (3 s.f.)

First, let's start off by finding the mass of this whole hydrate.
(Note: the unit of measurement for mass will be amu)

Let's find the molecular mass of each element.
$Co=58.933$
$Cl=35.45$
$H=1.008$
$O=15.999$

Now, let's find the mass of each compound.

$CoCl_2=58.933+2(35.45)=129.833$
$H_2O=2(1.008)+15.999=18.015$

We have 6 molecules of H2O, so multiply 18.015 by 6 then add that with the weight of CoCl2.

$6(18.015)=108.09$
$129.833+108.09=237.923$

Now divide 108.09 (mass of all the H2O in the hydrate) by 237.923 (total mass of hydrate).

$\dfrac{108.09}{237.923}$

$\approx0.45431$

Turn that into a percentage and you get 45.431%.
Hope this helps! :)
