Answer:

83.7% oxygen, 16.3% hydrogen

Explanation:

Mass of compound = 16.75 g

Mass of Oxygen = 14.02 g

Mass of Hydrogen =  2.73 g

Percentage composition = Mass of element /  Mass of compound    100%

Percentage composition of Oxygen = 14.02 g / 16.75 g    * 100%

Percentage composition of Oxygen = 0.837 * 100 = 83.7%

Percentage composition of Hydrogen = 2.73 g / 16.75 g    * 100%

Percentage composition of Hydrogen = 0.163 * 100 = 16.3%

The correct option is;

83.7% oxygen, 16.3% hydrogen

Answer:

83.7% oxygen, 16.3% hydrogen

Explanation:

To determine the percent composition we can divide, our mass by total mass and afterwards, multiply by 100.

(Mass of O / Total mass) . 100 = % O

(Mass of H / Total mass) . 100 = % H

Remember that:

% O + % H = 100

Mass of O / Total mass + Mass of H / Total mass = 1

(14.02 g / 16.75g) . 100 = 83.7 %

(2.73 g /16.75g) . 100 = 16.3 %
