It is found that 8.25 g of metal combines with oxygen to form 17.80 g of metal

oxide. Calculate the percent of metal and oxygen in the compound.​


Sagot :

The percent of metal : = 46.35%

The percent of oxygen : = 53.65%

Further explanation  

The concentration of a substance can be expressed in several quantities such as moles, percent (%) weight/volume,), molarity, molality, parts per million (ppm) or mole fraction. The concentration shows the amount of solute in a unit of the amount of solvent.  

So the concentration of a solution can be expressed as a percent which is the ratio of solute to the solution. Can be expressed in percent of mass (m / m) or volume percent (v / v)  

[tex]\tt \%mass=\dfrac{mass~solute}{mass~solution}\times 100\%[/tex]

Solution = Solute + Solvent  

Given

8.25 g of metal

17.80 g of metal  oxide

Required

The percent of metal and oxygen

Solution

mass of Oxygen :

= 17.8 g - 8.25 g

= 9.55 g

% mass of Oxygen :

= (9.55 : 17.8) x 100%

= 53.65%

% mass of metal :

= 100% - 53.65%

= 46.35%
