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. Quiz: 1. What is percent? 2. Calculate the percent composition by mass of Hydrogen in H2O? 3. Calculate the percent composition by mass of NaOH. 4. Calculate the percent composition by mass of C6H10O4. 5. Calculate the percent composition by mass of Iron in FeCl3.
