Solving for the formula mass of calcium nitrate: Atom | Atomic Mass Ca | 1 x 40.08 = 40.08 N | 2 x 14.01 = 28.02 O | 6 x 16 = 96 FM = 164.10 amu Solving for the percent: %O2 = mass of oxygen / mass of compound x 100% %O2 = 96 amu / 164.10 amu x 100% %O2 = 58.50% or 59%

The percent composition by mass of oxygen in [tex]Ca(NO_3)_2[/tex] will be 58.54%

Percent composition by mass

The percent composition by mass of a compound is mathematically given by:

Percent composition by mass = mass of component/total mass x 100

In this case, there are 6 atoms of oxygen in the compound.

6 x 16 = 96 g/mole

Percent composition by mass of oxygen = 96/164 x 100 = 58.54%
