Calculate the mass percent of oxygen in chromium(iii) carbonate. round your answer to the nearest percentage.

The percentage is 50.7%

Explanation:

The formula of chromium (III) carbonate is (Cr₂(CO₃)₃)

Let us calculate the molar mass of (Cr₂(CO₃)₃)

molar mass of (Cr₂(CO₃)₃) =

2X atomic mass of Cr + 3X atomic mass of C + 9X atomic mass of O

molar mass of (Cr₂(CO₃)₃) = 2X 52 + 3X12 +9X16 = 284g/mol

As per the formula there are nine moles of oxygen in each mole of (Cr₂(CO₃)₃).

so we can say that

In 284g of (Cr₂(CO₃)₃) the mass of oxygen = 144g

so 1 g of (Cr₂(CO₃)₃) the mass of oxygen =

Therefore

the mass of oxygen in 100g of(Cr₂(CO₃)₃) =0.507X100=50.7

Thus percentage of Oxygen in (Cr₂(CO₃)₃) =50.7%
