It was found that 16.5 g of a metal combine with oxygen to form 35.6 g of metal oxide. Calculate the percentage of metal and oxygen in the compound.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
Metal = 46.3 %, Oxygen = 53.7 %
Percentage of metal is the oxide `=((16.5u))/((278u))xx100=46.3%`
Percentage of oxygen in the oxide `= 100 - 46.3 = 53.7 %`.
