Percent Composition

of Compounds
 What is Percent?

 How do we solve the percentage composition of


any one/all element
in the compound?
What is Percent?
 Percent is defined as parts per hundred.

 For example, if a compound contains 25 g of


chlorine in 100 g of compound, the substance
contains 25% chlorine by mass.
Sample problems:
1. Calculate the percent composition by mass of
C6H12O6.

Steps to solve the problem:


1. Calculate the molecular mass of C6H12O6.
2. The percentage of each element in the
compound is calculated by dividing the mass of
each element by the total mass and then multiply it
by 100.
Sample problems:
2. Calculate the percent composition by mass of Sulfur
in H2SO4.
Formula:
Sample problems:
3. Calculate the percent composition by mass of BaCl4.

4. Calculate the percent composition by mass of Carbon


in C6H12O6.
