Tap to reveal answer

Answer

The mass percentage of bismuth in the compound will be equal to the mass of bismuth in one mole of compound divided by the total molar mass of the compound.

Bismuth has a molar mass of . One mole of the compound would result in two moles of bismuth, a total of 417.96g.

Tellurium has a molar mass of . One mole of the compound would result in three moles of tellurium, a total of 382.8g.

Add the mass of bismuth and the mass of tellurium per mole to find the total molar mass.

Divide the mass of bismuth by the total molecular mass to find the percent by mass of bismuth in the compound.
