Sagot :

Given :

A compound is found to be made up of 3.21 g Carbon and 1.02 g Oxygen.

To Find :

The percent composition from this data.

Solution :

We know, percentage composition is given by :

[tex]\%mass = \dfrac{mass}{mass of compound}\times 100[/tex]

So, percentage composition of Carbon is :

[tex]\%Carbon = \dfrac{3.21}{3.21+1.02}\times 100\\\\\%Carbon = \dfrac{3.21}{4.23}\times 100\\\\\%Carbon = 75.89 \%[/tex]

Since, compound is made up of Carbon and Oxygen.

So, %Oxygen is ( 100 - 75.89 )% = 24.11%

Hence, this is the required solution.
