Question
What is the mass percentage of oxygen in NaNO₃? (Atomic masses: Na = 23, N = 14, O = 16)
Explanation
Given:
What is the mass percentage of oxygen in NaNO₃? (Atomic masses: Na = 23, N = 14, O = 16)
Formula:
Molar mass = 23 + 14 + (3 × 16) = 23 + 14 + 48 = 85 g/mol.
Substitution & Calculation:
Mass of O = 48 g. % O = (48 / 85) × 100 ≈ 56.47%.
Final Result:
The computed value matches expected outcome and confirms correct choice as per latest NCERT 2026-27.
