determine the percent composition of each element. Na has a mass of 22.99g, H has a mass of 1.008g, C has a mass of 12.01g and O3 has a mass of 48.00g

could u give me the steps on how to do that too?

OpenStudy (australopithecus):

O3 = 48.00g O = 48.00g

OpenStudy (australopithecus):

it is the same as the last question

OpenStudy (australopithecus):

The mass of O3 is going to be the same as the mass of Oxygen, think about it. Then just add them all up to find the total mass of the compound, then apply the formula I showed you in the last question 3 times

alrightt

OpenStudy (australopithecus):

You are looking at the total mass of each element in a pure compound, their amounts are going to change proportionally to the amount of that pure compound you have. O3 is just a molecular form of oxygen, if you broke that O3 into single atoms they would still weight 48 grams. Its like if you said you had 10 pounds of 2 bricks, the amount of brick you still have is 10 pounds
