Homework Statement
Calculate the molar percent of nitrogen in 1kg of Ni(NO2)2.
Homework Equations
mol% of A = n(A) / n(total) * 100
The Attempt at a Solution
I'm stuck on this basic question. I have a tendency to say that the molar percent of nitrogen would basically be [tex]\frac{2}{1+2+4} * 100[/tex], basically the nb of moles of N over the sum of the total.
What's causing me confusing is the 1kg.
My question is: if I were looking for the specific number of moles, then the mass would be accounted for. But if it's molar percentt that's wanted, wouldn't it be independent of the mass?
Thanks.
