Answer:
BeO will have the greatest mass composition of oxygen
Explanation:
To solve this problem, we would find the mass composition of oxygen in each of the given sample.
To find this mass composition, let us derive the molecular mass of the given species;
K₂O₂ = 2(39) + 2(16) = 110g/mol
Na₂O = 2(23) + 16 = 62g/mol
BeO = 9 + 16 = 25g/mol
Now; we know that mass of each sample is 1g;
mass composition of O in K₂O₂ = [tex]\frac{32}{110}[/tex] x 1= 0.29g
mass composition of O in Na₂O = [tex]\frac{16}{62}[/tex] x 1 = 0.26g
mass composition of O in BeO = [tex]\frac{16}{25}[/tex] x 1 = 0.64g
We can see that BeO will have the greatest mass composition of oxygen.
The mass composition of oxygen has been highest in BeO. Thus, option 3 is correct.
The molecular mass has been the mass of each element that has been present in the compound. The molecular mass of given compounds have been:
- [tex]\rm K_2O_2[/tex] = 2(mass of K) + 2(mass of O)
= 2 (39) + 2 (16)
= 110 g/mol
- [tex]\rm Na_2O[/tex]= 2(mass of N) + mass of O
= 2 (23) + 16
= 62 g/mol
- BeO = mass of Be + mass of O
= 9 + 16
= 23 g/mol
The mass composition of oxygen in 1 gram of the following compounds have been:
Mass composition = [tex]\rm \dfrac{Mass\;of\;Oxygen}{Molecular\;mass\;of\;compound}\;\times\;weight\;of\;sample[/tex]
- [tex]\rm K_2O_2[/tex] = [tex]\rm \dfrac{32}{110}\;\times\;1\;gram[/tex]
[tex]\rm K_2O_2[/tex] = 0.29 grams
- [tex]\rm Na_2O[/tex] = [tex]\rm \dfrac{16}{62}\;\times\;1\;gram[/tex]
[tex]\rm Na_2O[/tex] = 0.26 grams
- BeO = [tex]\rm \dfrac{16}{23}\;\times\;1\;gram[/tex]
BeO = 0.64 grams.
The mass composition of oxygen has been highest in BeO. Thus, option 3 is correct.
