Answer:

59.8%

Explanation:

First find the Mr of manganese (III) nitrate.

Mr of Mn(NO₃)₃ = 54.9 + (14 × 3) + (16 × 3 × 3) = 240.9

Since we have to find the percentage composition of oxygen, we need to find the Mr of oxygen in the compound, which is:

Mr of (O₃)₃ = (16 × 3) × 3 = 144

Now we can find percentage composition / percentage by mass of oxygen.

% composition = $\frac{Mr\ of\ oxygen\ in\ compound}{Mr\ of\ compound}$ × 100

% composition = $\frac{144}{240.9}$ × 100 = 59.776%

∴ % compostion of oxygen in maganese(III)nitrate is 59.8% (to 3 significant figures).

The density of concentrated ammonia, which is 28.0% w/w nh3, is 0.899 g/ml. what volume of this reagent should be diluted to 1.0

Answer: 2.4 ml

Solution :

Molar mass of $NH_3$ = 17 g/mole

Given,: 28% w/w of $NH_3$ solution means 28 g of ammonia in 100 g of solution.

Mass of solution = 100 g

Now we have to calculate the volume of solution.

$Volume=\frac{Mass}{Density}=\frac{100g}{0.899g/ml}=111.2ml$

Molarity : It is defined as the number of moles of solute present in one liter of solution.

$Molarity=\frac{n\times 1000}{V_s}$

where,

n = moles of solute $NH_3=\frac{\text {given mass}}{\text {molar mass}}=\frac{28}{17}=1.65moles$

$V_s$ = volume of solution in liter = 0.11 L

Now put all the given values in the formula of molarity, we get

$Molarity=\frac{1.65moles}{0.11L}=15mole/L$

Using molarity equation:

$M_1V_1=M_2V_2$

$15\times V_1=0.036\times 1.0\times 10^{3}$

$V_1=2.4ml$
