To find percent composition do "parts over the whole" ---> each individual mass over the total mass times 100 (since it is a percentage). 

total mass ("the whole")= 73.5 + 42.0 + 72.3 grams= 150 grams

1. Carbon %= 73.5 grams/ 150 grams x 100= 49.0%

2. Hydrogen %= 4.20 grams/ 150 grams x 100= 2.80%

3. Chlorine %= 72.3 grams/ 150 grams x 100= 48.2%

What is the mass in grams of 2.0 moles of NO2
mote1985 [20]
Use your periodic table to get 1 mol. Look up the atomic masses. I'll round the numbers since every periodic table is different.
 
N = 14
O2 = 2 *16
Total = 30 grams / mol


Therefore 2 mols = twice as much = 60 grams.

Why are transition metals called transition metals?
lesantik [10]
<span> They are called that because while the outermost level contains at most two electrons, they are next to outermost main levels have incompletely filled d sub-orbitals, which are filled-up progressively on going across the periodic table from 8 to 18 electrons. The filling of the d sub-orbitals of the transition elements across a row of the periodic table is not always regular.</span>
