Answer:
68.48%
Explanation:
The percent mass of an element in a compound tells us about the amount of such element contributed to the total compound.
In this case, 7.28 g sample of chromium metal was heated to produce chromium oxide with weight of 10.63 g. The percent mass of chromium in chromium oxide can be calculated by using the formula:
%mass of Cr = mass of Cr/mass of Chromium oxide × 100%
%mass of Cr = 7.28/10.63 × 100
%mass of Cr = 0.6848 × 100
%mass of Cr = 68.48%
