Question

What is the percentage of nitrogen, by mass, in calcium nitrate?.

Answer 1

Answer:

Nitrogen = 17.07%

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%
