CALCULATE THE PERCENTAGE OF MASS BY NITROGEN IN TRIOXONITRATE (V)ACID
I NEED THE CALCULATION
Well HNO3 is 1 + 14 + 3*16 = 63
100* 14/63 = 22.2 %
To calculate the percentage of mass by nitrogen in trioxonitrate (V) acid, we need to know the molecular formula of the compound. Can you please provide the molecular formula?
To calculate the percentage of mass by nitrogen in trioxonitrate(V) acid, we need to know the molar mass of the compound and the molar mass of nitrogen.
The molar mass of nitrogen (N) is approximately 14.01 grams per mole.
Trioxonitrate(V) acid has the chemical formula HNO3. Let's calculate its molar mass:
H - 1.01 grams/mol
N - 14.01 grams/mol
O - 16.00 grams/mol * 3 (since there are three oxygen atoms)
Molar mass of HNO3 = (1.01 * 1) + (14.01 * 1) + (16.00 * 3) = 63.01 grams/mol
Now, let's calculate the percentage of mass by nitrogen in trioxonitrate(V) acid:
Mass percentage of nitrogen = (Molar mass of nitrogen / Molar mass of HNO3) * 100
Mass percentage of nitrogen = (14.01 / 63.01) * 100
Therefore, the percentage of mass by nitrogen in trioxonitrate(V) acid is approximately 22.2%.
