Percent Composition

The percent of a specific element in a chemical formula

How to find percent composition

• Step 1: Find the total molar mass of the compound

• Step 2: Place the entire mass of the specific element you want to find in the numerator and the total molar mass you found in step one in the denominator

• Divide the numbers and multiply by 100
