Percent Composition By Mass
Which of the following calculations correctly demonstrates that the percent by mass of nitrogen in calcium nitrate, , is approximately 17.1%?
A
Using only the molar mass of nitrogen, , divided by the molar mass of calcium, which yields an irrelevant ratio.
B
Multiplying the nitrogen atomic mass by two and then adding the mass of oxygen, without proper division by total mass, misrepresenting the percent composition.
C
Adding the atomic masses of calcium and nitrogen without considering the nitrate group, resulting in an erroneous percentage.
D
Calculating total molar mass as and then computing percent nitrogen as .
