What is the percent composition of dinotrogen pentoxide? With work shown please

%N = 25.94%

%O = 74.06%

Explanation:

Step 1: Calculate the mass of nitrogen in 1 mole of N₂O₅

We will multiply the molar mass of N by the number of N atoms in the formula of N₂O₅.

m(N): 2 × 14.01 g = 28.02 g

Step 2: Calculate the mass of oxygen in 1 mole of N₂O₅

We will multiply the molar mass of O by the number of O atoms in the formula of N₂O₅.

m(O): 5 × 16.00 g = 80.00 g

Step 3: Calculate the mass of 1 mole of N₂O₅

We will sum the masses of N and O.

m(N₂O₅) = m(N) + m(O) = 28.02 g + 80.00 g = 108.02 g

Step 4: Calculate the percent composition  of N₂O₅

We will use the following expression.

%Element = m(Element)/m(Compound) × 100%

%N = m(N)/m(N₂O₅) × 100% = 28.02 g/108.02 g × 100% = 25.94%

%O = m(O)/m(N₂O₅) × 100% = 80.00 g/108.02 g × 100% = 74.06%

explanation: it gains negative electrons, therefore becoming negatively charged. as charge cannot be created, nor destroyed, only transferred, this leaves the wool positive. now that they have opposite charges, the two items attract.
