Find the percent composition of OXYGEN in Manganese (III) nitrate, Mn(NO3)3.
1 answer:
Answer:
59.8%
Explanation:
First find the Mr of manganese (III) nitrate.
Mr of Mn(NO₃)₃ = 54.9 + (14 × 3) + (16 × 3 × 3) = <u>240.9</u>
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 = <u>144</u>
Now we can find percentage composition / percentage by mass of oxygen.
% composition = × 100
% composition = × 100 = <u>59.776%</u>
∴ % compostion of oxygen in maganese(III)nitrate is 59.8% (to 3 significant figures).

Answer:
1. 2NaN₃(s) → 2Na(s) + 3N₂(g)
2. 14.5 g NaN₃
Explanation:
The answer is incomplete, as it is missing the required values to solve the problem. An internet search shows me these values for this question. Keep in mind that if your values are different your result will be different as well, but the solving methodology won't change.
" The airbags that protect people in car crashes are inflated by the extremely rapid decomposition of sodium azide, which produces large volumes of nitrogen gas. 1. Write a balanced chemical equation, including physical state symbols, for the decomposition of solid sodium azide (NaN₃) into solid sodium and gaseous dinitrogen. 2. Suppose 71.0 L of dinitrogen gas are produced by this reaction, at a temperature of 16.0 °C and pressure of exactly 1 atm. Calculate the mass of sodium azide that must have reacted. Round your answer to 3 significant digits. "
1. The <u>reaction that takes place is</u>:
- 2NaN₃(s) → 2Na(s) + 3N₂(g)
2. We use PV=nRT to <u>calculate the moles of N₂ that were produced</u>.
P = 1 atm
V = 71.0 L
n = ?
T = 16.0 °C ⇒ 16.0 + 273.16 = 289.16 K
- 1 atm * 71.0 L = n * 0.082 atm·L·mol⁻¹·K⁻¹ * 289.16 K
- n = 0.334 mol
Now we <u>convert N₂ moles to NaN₃ moles</u>:
- 0.334 mol N₂ *
= 0.223 mol NaN₃
Finally we <u>convert NaN₃ moles to grams</u>, using its molar mass:
- 0.223 mol NaN₃ * 65 g/mol = 14.5 g NaN₃
Answer:
Such molecule must have molecular formula of C15N3H15
Explanation:
Mass of carbon in such molecule
The atomic mass of carbon is 12.01 g/mol, so in 182.28 g of carbon there is 15.18 mols of carbon.
Mass of Nitrogen in such molecule
The atomic mass of nitrogen is 14.01 g/mol, so in 42.53g of nitrogen there is 3.04 mols of nitrogen.
Mass of Hydrogen in such molecule
The atomic mass of Hydrogen is 1.00 g/mol, so in 15.19 g of Hydrogen there is 15.19 mols of Hydrogen.
Such molecule must have molecular formula of C15N3H15
