Chapter 2, Problem 2.140P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The mass percentages of NO in the molecules of nitroglycerin and isoamyl nitrate are to be determined.

Concept introduction:

The molecular mass of a compound is defined as the sum of the atomic masses of atoms of all the elements present in it.

The general formula to calculate the molecular mass of a compound is,

Molecular mass of the compound=[Σ(number of atoms of the element)(atomic mass of the element)] (1)

The mass percent of an element in a compound is defined as the total concentration of the element in the compound.

The general formula to calculate the total mass of a molecule in a compound is,

Total mass of a molecule=[(total number of molecules)(molecular mass )] (2)

The general formula to calculate the mass percent of a molecule in a compound is,

Mass percent=(total mass of the molecule in the compoundmolecular mass of the compound)(100) (3)
