Metallic element calcium combines with the nonmetallic element oxygen?

When metallic calcium combines with nonmetallic oxygen, they form the compound calcium oxide (CaO) through a chemical reaction. Calcium oxide is an example of an ionic compound where calcium loses electrons to oxygen, resulting in the formation of positively charged calcium ions and negatively charged oxygen ions, which then attract each other to form a stable compound.


What compound is produced when 6.08 g nitrogen combines with 13.92 g oxygen?

When 6.08 g nitrogen combines with 13.92 g oxygen, they will form nitrogen dioxide, which has the chemical formula NO2. This compound is composed of one nitrogen atom and two oxygen atoms.


What is the percent composition of the compound that forms when 222.6 g N combines completely with 77.4 g O?

The molar mass of nitrogen (N) is 14 g/mol, and of oxygen (O) is 16 g/mol. Calculate the number of moles of each element. The ratio of the moles of N to O is 3:1. Therefore, the percent composition of the compound is approximately 75% N and 25% O.


Analysis of a compound composed of iron and oxygen yields 174.86 g Fe and 75.14 g O What is the empirical formula for this compound?

The first step is to convert the masses of Fe and O into moles: 174.86 g Fe is 3.13 moles of Fe, and 75.14 g O is 4.69 moles of O. The ratio of Fe to O in the compound is approximately 2:3. Therefore, the empirical formula of the compound is Fe2O3, which is iron(III) oxide (also known as rust).


Is iron oxide a metal?

No, it is a compound of a metal and a nonmetal. Pure iron is a metal, however.
