I think it might be Nitrogen dioxide, but please check behind
To find this, we will use this formula:
Molar mass of element
------------------------------------ x 100
Molar mass of compound
So, first lets calculate the mass of the compound as a whole. We use the atomic masses on the periodic table to determine this.
Ca: 40.078 g/mol
N2 (there is two nitrogens): 28.014 g/mol
O6 (there are six nitrogens: 3 times 2): 95.994 g/mol
When we add all of those numbers up together, we get 164.086. That is the molar mass for the whole compound. However, we are trying to figure out what percent of the compound oxygen makes up. From the molar mass, we know that 95.994 of the 164.086 is oxygen. Lets plug those numbers into our equation!
95.994
-----------
164.086
When we divide those two numbers, we get .585. When we multiply that by 100, we get 58.5.
So, the percent compostition of oxygen in Ca(NO3)2, or, calcium nitrate, is 58.5%.
Correct me if I'm wrong, anyone who is more informed on this than I am, but wouldn't it be because of the magnetic fields and whatnot? The longer I think on it, the more I feel like I'm wrong, so don't take my word for it 100%
Answer:
A reduction potential measures the tendency of a molecule to be reduced by taking up new electrons. ... Standard reduction potentials can be useful in determining the directionality of a reaction. The reduction potential of a given species can be considered to be the negative of the oxidation potential.
