What is the mass percent of oxygen in sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3)?

Chemistry

The answer is 57.14%.

First we need to calculate molar mass of <span>NaHCO3. Molar mass is mass of 1 mole of a substance. It is the sum of relative atomic masses, which are masses of atoms of the elements.

Relative atomic mass of Na is 22.99 g
</span><span>Relative atomic mass of H is 1 g
</span><span>Relative atomic mass of C is 12.01 g
</span><span>Relative atomic mass of O is 16 g.
</span>
Molar mass of <span>NaHCO3 is:
22.99 g + 1 g + 12.01 g + 3 </span>· <span>16 g = 84 g

Now, mass of oxygen in </span><span>NaHCO3 is:
3 </span>· 16 g = 48 g

mass percent of oxygen in <span>NaHCO3:
48 g </span>÷ 84 g · 100% = 57.14%

Therefore, <span>the mass percent of oxygen in sodium bicarbonate is 57.14%.</span>

How do core electrons relate to the ionization energy of the atom?
Archy [21]

Answer:

For any given element, ionization energy increases as subsequent electrons are removed. For example, the energy required to remove an electron from neutral chlorine is 1251 kJ/mol. ... An even sharper increase in ionization energy is witnessed when inner-shell, or core, electrons are removed.

Hope it helps :)

Which statement explains why a C–O bond is
Nataly_w [17]

Answer: (3) The difference in electronegativity between  carbon and oxygen is greater than that  between fluorine and oxygen.

Explanation: Polarity of a molecule is due to the difference in electronegativity of the atoms. More is the electronegativity difference, more is the polarity.

Electronegativity of carbon = 2.5

Electronegativity of oxygen = 3.5

Electronegativity of fluorine = 4.0

Thus the difference in electronegativity of carbon and oxygen is=(3.5-2.5)= 1.0

Thus the difference in electronegativity of fluorine and oxygen is=(4.0-3.5)= 0.5.

Thus C-O bond is more polar than F-O bond.
