Litharge is a yellow oxide of lead with a formula of PbO, which is formed by heating lead metal in air. 
The mass of one mole of PbO is 223.2 grams
1 mole of PbO contains 16 g of oxygen
Therefore; the percentage of oxygen will be;
     (16/223.2) × 100 = 7.168 %

The  %  composition  by mass  of oxygen in litharge ( grams formula mass=223.2 g/mol) is  calculated as  below

%  composition is   percentage  by mass  of  each   element  in a  compound
which  is  calculated  as follows

%composition = molar mass  of element/molar  mass  of  compound  x100

The  molar mass of oxygen = 16 g/mol

therefore the % composition  = 16 g/mol/ 223.2 g/ mol  x100 = 7.17 %  of oxygen

Determine if the following compounds are likely to have ionic or covalent bonds. a. Magnesium oxide (MgO) _______________ b. Str
nika2105 [10]

Answer:

The answer to your question is below

Explanation:

Ionic bond is a kind of bond in which a metal attaches to a nonmetal. Also we know that a molecule has ionic bonding if the electronegativity is higher than 1.7.

                    Kind of elements         Difference of electronegativity     Bond

a) MgO         Metal - Nonmetal                3.44 -  1.31 = 2.13                     Ionic

b) SrCl₂        Metal -Nonmetal                  3.16 - 0.95 = 2.21                    Ionic

c) O₃             Nonmetal- Nonmetal          3.44 - 3.44 = 0                      Covalent

d) CH₄O       Nonmetal-Nonmetal           3.44 - 2.55 = 0.89                Covalent

   Carbon, Hydrogen and oxygen are nonmetals

2) Silver coins can conduct electricity.

does anyone know how to find the electron configuration of an element without using a periodic table?? group and period is alrea
snow_lady [41]
For that you have to use the Aufbau principle

For example, writing the electronic configuration of Fe(28)

I recommend that you memorize the aufbau principle. Once you learn it, you don’t need anything else except the atomic number of the element to write it’s electronic configuration.

What is the difference between a diatomic molecue and a normal molecue
Mekhanik [1.2K]

If a diatomic molecule consists of two atoms of the same element, such as hydrogen (H2) or oxygen (O2), then it is said to be homonuclear. Otherwise, if a diatomic molecule consists of two different atoms, such as carbon monoxide (CO) or nitric oxide (NO), the molecule is said to be heteronuclear.

Describe and explain how petrol is separated from the mixture of hydrocarbons in crude oil.
lara31 [8.8K]
The crude oil is heated in a process of fractional distillation (note: you can research this online if you require more detail) and this process causes different hydrocarbons to condense at different heights up the distillation column. They will therefore run down the side of the column and into different areas depending on their boiling point.
