Acompound is formed when 12.2 g mg combines completely with 5.16 g n. what is the percent composition of this compound? show all work and include the percentage of both magnesium and nitrogen.

To get the percent composition of an element in a compound, simply divide the mass of the element by the total mass of the compound. And since we're going to need to calculate the percentage a couple of times, let's first start by calculating the total mass of the compound:
 M = 12.2 g + 5.16g = 17.36 g
   Now the percentage of magnesium:
12.2 g / 17.36 g = 0.702764977 = 70.3%
 And the percentage of nitrogen:
5.16 g / 17.36 g = 0.297235023 = 29.7%
   Magnesium = 70.3%
 Nitrogen = 29.7%

2positives of biotechnology: 1. plants have become more resistant to viruses and other communicable pests.2. with the of biotechnology, we have been able to produce better tasting fruits as well as vegetables.2 negatives of biotechnology: 1. biotechnology poses a number of environmental threats. genetically modifies crops often infect monarch butterflies and other insect species.2. viruses could combine with crops.
