Answer:

66.2 % of O

Explanation:

Our compound is the lithium nitrite.

LiNO₂

This salt is ionic and can be dissociated: LiNO₂ → Li⁺ + NO₂⁻

We determine the molar mass:

molar mass of Li + 3 . molar mass of N + 6 . molar mass of O

6.94 g/mol + 3. 14 g/mol + 6 . 16 g/mol = 144.94 g/mol

The mass of oxygen contained in 1 mol of lithium nitrite is:

6 . 16 g/mol = 96 g

So the percentage of oxygen present is:

(96 g / 144.94 g) . 100 = 66.2 %

How do I find the electronegativity of an element

pychu [463]

Oxygen is the 2nd most electronegative element. When you examine a periodic table, you will find that (excluding the noble gases) the electronegativity values tend to increase as you go to the right and up. The reverse statement is that the values tend to decrease going down and to the left.
