Answer:

Average = 63.6

Explanation:

Average : The average of the given set of points can be calculated by dividing sum of the total point to the number of points.

Average =\frac{Sum\ of\ points}{Number\  of\ points}

The points that are given in this equation are:

83.2 , 44.6 , 74.4 , 52.3 .

These are 4 in number . So average is

Average =\frac{Sum\ of\ points}{Number\  of\ points}

Average =\frac{83.2+44.6+74.4+52.3}{4}

Average =\frac{254.5}{4}

Average =63.625

Significant digits : It is the number of digits that carry meaningful value to a measurement. The rules for counting number of significant digits are:

1. all non-zero digit are significant

2.Any zero between two non-zero are also significant.(305 = 3 significant digit )

3. Zero before the decimal are non-significant (0.003 = only 1 significant digit)

Zero after decimal are significant (3.00 has 3 significant digit)

4.Zero after non - zero digit is non significant (300 has 1 significant digit).

Significant digits in division :

The answer should have the significant digits that are least in any of number(83.2 , 44.6 , 74.4 , 52.3 )

All have = 3 significant digits.

So least numner of significant digit =3

Answer should have total = 3 significant digits

So,

Average = 63.6

What is the percentage of nitrogen, by mass, in calcium nitrate?.
SCORPION-xisa [38]

Answer:

<em>Nitrogen = 17.07%</em>

Explanation:

We are asked to calculate the percentage by mass of nitrogen in Ca(NO3)2.

The molar mass of calcium nitrate is 164,088 g/mol.

In this 164.088 g/mol there are 2 nitrogen atoms.

Molar mass of nitrogen = 14,0067 g/mol

% Nitrogen = molar mass of N/total molar mass of the compound

% Nitrogen =[(2 x 14.0067)/164.088]*100

% Nitrogen = 17.07%
