Calculate the percentage by mass of N in (NH)SO. (H = 1, C = 12, N = 14, O = 16, Mg = 24, S = 32, Cl = 35.5, Al = 27, Ca = 40, Fe = 56, Cu = 63.5, Na = 23)
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: C. 21.2%
- Step 1: of (NH)SO .
- Step 2: Mass of N in one formula unit .
- Step 3: Percentage .
Answer
21.2%.
Why not the others: 10.6%: the number of atoms in the formula is ignored. 78.8%: that is the percentage of all the other elements.
