A pure sample of copper nitrate is heated until it has completely decomposed.
2Cu(NO3)2→2CuO+4NO2+O22\text{Cu(NO}_3\text{)}_2 \rightarrow 2\text{CuO} + 4\text{NO}_2 + \text{O}_22Cu(NO3)2→2CuO+4NO2+O2
Relative atomic masses (ArA_rAr): N=14\text{N} = 14N=14, O=16\text{O} = 16O=16, Cu=64\text{Cu} = 64Cu=64
Calculate the mass of oxygen produced when 18.8 g of copper nitrate completely decomposes.
