Question

calculate the percentage composition of calcium nitrate CAno3 atomic mass of calcium is 40 find molecular formula​

Answer 1

Explanation:

SEE THIS IS THE PROCESS YOU CAN DO

I GAVE ONE EXAMPLE BELOW

The molar mass of Ca(NO

3

)

2

=40.1+2×(14+3(16))=40.1+2×(62)=164.1g/mol.

1 mole (164.1 g) of calcium nitrate will contain 6 moles of O atoms.

The atomic mass of oxygen is 16 g/mol.

6 moles of oxygen atoms corresponds to 6×16=96g.

The percent of oxygen in calcium nitrate =

164.1

96×100

=58 %.
