what is the percent composition of NiO if a sample of NiO with a mass of 41.9grams contains 33.1 g Ni and 8.8 O
Percent composition can be solve by:
( mass desired component)/ mass sample * 100
% Nitrogen of the sample NiO can be solved:
%Ni = ( 33.1 g Ni / 41.9 g NiO) x 100
%Ni = 79% Ni
% oxgen:
%O = ( 8.8 g O / 41.9 g NiO) x 100
%O = 21 % O
