A compound is made of 6.00 grams of oxygen, 7.00 grams of nitrogen, and 20.00grams of hydrogen. Find the percent composition of the compound. A O-18.18%, N-21.21%, H-60.60%
B O-11.18%, N-22.21%, H-69.60%
C O-20%, N-30%, H-50%
D O-60.60%, N-21.21%, H-18.18%

The percent composition of the compound.

A O-18.18%, N-21.21%, H-60.60%

Given

6.00 grams of oxygen,

7.00 grams of nitrogen,

20.00 grams of hydrogen.

Required

The percent composition

Solution

Total mass :

= mass of O + mass of N + mass of H

= 6 + 7 + 20

= 33 g

% O = 6/33 x 100%= 18.18%

% N = 7/33 x 100%=21.21%

% H = 20/33 x 100% = 60.6 %

a electronegativity decreases beacuse the size of nucleus is bigger.
