A 48.6 g sample of nickel oxide contains 34.5 g of nickel. Determine the chemical formula for the compound. Show steps 100% correct
Added by Karen C.
Step 1
To do this, subtract the mass of nickel from the total mass of the compound. 48.6 g (total mass) - 34.5 g (nickel mass) = 14.1 g (oxygen mass) Show more…
