RhondaSommer (rhondasommer):
ZnO right?
OpenStudy (sweetburger):
No Zn is only 65% mass of that compound. Zn2O4 has Zn to be 67.1% by mass
RhondaSommer (rhondasommer):
how does the "2" change the mass?
OpenStudy (sweetburger):
65+65+16+16+16+16= 194. so the mass of Zn/ mass of Zn2O4 = 130/194 =67%
RhondaSommer (rhondasommer):
woah wait a sec. were did all those numbers come from?
