Percent Composition and Molar Mass of SO3

The video tutorial explains how to calculate the percent composition by mass of each element in sulfur trioxide (SO3). It begins by determining the molar mass of SO3, which is 80.07 grams per mole. The tutorial then demonstrates the calculation of the percent composition for sulfur and oxygen. For sulfur, with a molar mass of 32.8 grams per mole, the percent composition is 40.05%. For oxygen, with a molar mass of 16.00 grams per mole and three atoms in the compound, the percent composition is 59.95%. The video concludes by confirming that these percentages add up to 100%, illustrating the complete breakdown of the compound's mass.
