The mass percent of oxygen in Nickel([tex]III[/tex])sulfate is [tex]23.68[/tex] percent.
At first, we look up the atomic masses for the element from the periodic table.
The atomic masses are found to be:
- Ni is [tex]58.7[/tex]
- S is [tex]32[/tex]
- O is [tex]16[/tex]
Next, we determine how many grams of each element are present in one mole of [tex]Ni_{2}(SO_{4})_{3}[/tex]
- [tex]117.4g(2 mol*58.7)[/tex] of Ni
- [tex]96g(3 mol*32)[/tex] of S
- [tex]192g(12 mol * 16.00)[/tex] of O
The mass of one mole [tex]Ni_{2}(SO_{4})_{3}[/tex] is:
[tex]117.4g+96g+192g=405.4g[/tex]
So, The mass percent of oxygen [tex]=(96g/405.4)*100=0.2368*100%\\[/tex]
[tex]=23.68 %[/tex] percent.
