How many grams of nitrogen are in a sample of al(no3)3 that contains 364.0 g of aluminum?grams of nitrogen.

The mass of nitrogen that is present for given amount of aluminium is 566.22 g.

Explanation:

We are given:

Mass of aluminium = 364 grams

The chemical formula of aluminium nitrate is

Molar mass of nitrogen = 14 g/mol

Molar mass of aluminium = 27 g/mol

In 1 mole of aluminium nitrate, 27 grams of aluminium is combining with 42 grams of nitrogen.

So, 364 grams of aluminium will combine with = of nitrogen.

Hence, the mass of nitrogen that is present for given amount of aluminium is 566.22 g.

explanation:

metals have excess of electrons whereas non-metals have deficiency of electrons. thus, in order to gain stability metals easily donate their electrons to the non-metals.

for example, electronic configuration of sodium is and electronic configuration of phosphorous is .

when a phosphorous atom and sodium atom combine together then sodium will donate is extra one electron to the phosphorous atom. as a result there will be formation of ionic bond between sodium and phosphorous.

the reaction will be as follows.

there, are three sodium sodium atoms and each of them will donate its one extra electron to phosphorous atom. thus, the sub-shell of phosphorous gets completely filled.  

thus, we can conclude that electrons are transferred from atoms of sodium to atoms of phosphorous. this transfer makes the sodium atoms donate one electron and the phosphorous atoms to gain one electron. as a result, the sodium and phosphorus atoms strongly attract each other.
