Percent Composition and Determining Empirical And Molecular Formulas



PERCENT COMPOSITION

Determine the percent composition of each of the compounds below.


1. HCl


Sagot :

Answer:

% comp. H = 2.8%, % comp. Cl = 97.2%

Explanation:

HCl mass = mass of H + mass of Cl

HCL mass = 1.00794 + 35.453 = 36.46094

% comp. of H = 1.007694 / 36.46094 x 100 = around 2.8% (2.76376308455)

% comp. of Cl = 35.453 / 36.46094 x 100 = around 97.2% (97.2355622208)
