What is the percentage composition of each element in dinitrogen monoxide, n2o?

a. 58.32% n; 41.68% o
b. 60.55% n; 39.45% o
c. 63.64% n; 36.36% o
d. 62.66% n; 37.34% o

The correct answer is Option c.

Explanation:

To calculate the percentage composition of an element in a compound, we use the formula:

We are given:

Molar mass of = 44.013 g/mol

Mass of nitrogen in compound =

Mass of oxygen in compound = 15.999 g/mol

By putting and calculating the mass percentages of nitrogen and oxygen, we get:

Hence, the correct answer is Option c.
