Question

What is the percent composition of oxygen in nickel (III) sulfate? Calculate the percent composition based on the ___________.

A. Molar mass of nickel
B. Number of sulfur atoms
C. Total molar mass
D. Avogadro's number

Answer 1

To calculate the percent composition of oxygen in nickel (III) sulfate, determine the molar mass of oxygen and nickel (III) sulfate, find the mass of oxygen in the compound, and divide the mass of oxygen by the total molar mass of the compound.

Step-by-step explanation:

The percent composition of oxygen in nickel (III) sulfate can be calculated based on the total molar mass of the compound. To do this, we need to determine the molar mass of oxygen and nickel (III) sulfate and then find the mass of oxygen in the compound. Finally, we divide the mass of oxygen by the total molar mass of the compound and multiply by 100% to get the percent composition of oxygen.
