230g sample of a compound contains 136.6g carbon, 26.4g hydrogen, and 31.8g nitrogen. What is masspercentif oxygen

1 answer:

6 0

Answer:

15.3 %

Explanation:

Step 1: Given data

Step 2: Calculate the mass of oxygen (mO)

The mass of the sample is equal to the sum of the masses of all the elements.

ms = mC + mH + mN + mO

mO = ms - mC - mH - mN

mO = 230 g - 136.6 g - 26.4 g - 31.8 g

mO = 35.2 g

Step 3: Calculate the mass percent of oxygen

%O = (mO / ms) × 100% = (35.2 g / 230 g) × 100% = 15.3 %

Explanation:

In periodic table:

Elements are arranged according to their atomic number in increasing order.
When we move left to right we move along a period.The period in the periodic table tell us about the principal quantum number,(n).
When move from top to bottom we are moving in group. The group in the periodic table tell us about the number of the valence electrons present in the valence shell of the elements of the particular group.
