    5) Percent Composition

    Uploaded by

    Ramona Esteves
    This document discusses percent composition and how to calculate the mass percent of elements in compounds. It explains that the elements in a chemical compound are always present in the same proportions by mass. It provides examples of how to calculate the mass percent of hydrogen in water and the percent composition of zinc and sulfur in a sample compound with a given mass and masses of zinc and sulfur. The document also discusses how to calculate percent composition using the chemical formula and molar mass. It emphasizes that percent composition tells you the mass percent of all elements in a molecule and is sometimes used by chemists to determine the mass of elements that make up unknown compounds.

    PERCENT

    COMPOSITION
    Section 6.1
    THE LAW OF DEFINITE
    PROPORTIONS

    • The elements in a chemical


    compound are always present in
    the SAME proportions by mass
    • Ex: H2O: the proportion of
    Hydrogen and Oxygen stays
    constant
    MASS PERCENT OF AN
    ELEMENT

    % Composition = Mass of element x 100%


    Mass of compound
    MASS PERCENT OF AN
    ELEMENT
    • Mass percent of hydrogen in water:
    • Mass of H2 = 2 (1.01) = 2.02 g/mol
    • Mass of H2O= 18.02 g/mol (Molar
    mass)
    • % mass of H2 = mass of H2 100%
    • mass of H2O
    = 2.02 g/mol x 100%
    18.02 g/mol
    = 11.2 %
    PERCENT COMPOSITION

    • Tells you the mass


    percent (%) of all
    elements in a molecule
    PERCENT COMPOSITION
    Ex 1: A compound with a mass of
    48.72 g is found to have 32.69 g
    of zinc and 16.03g of sulfur. What
    is the percent composition of the
    compound?
    Given:
    Mass of compound 48.72 g
    Mass of Zn = 32.69 g
    Mass of S = 16.03 g
    PERCENT COMPOSITION
    • % Zn = 32.69g x 100%
    48.72g
    = 67.10%

    • % S = 16.03g x 100%
    48.72g
    = 32.9 %
    PERCENT COMPOSITION
    • Can also be calculated using the chemical
    formula
    • Ex 2: What is the % composition of each
    of the elements in C9H8O?
    M C•9 H 8 O = 9(12.01g/mol) + 8(1.01g/mol) + 16g/mol
    = 108.09 + 8.08 + 16
    = 132.17g/mol
    PERCENT COMPOSITION
    • % C = 108.09 g x 100%
    132.17g
    = 81.78 %
    • % H = 8.08g x 100%
    132.17 g
    = 6.11 %
    • % O = 16.00g x 100%
    132.17 g
    = 12. 10%
    PERCENT COMPOSITION

    • Sometimes chemists use %


    composition when they have
    unknown compounds to
    determine the mass of the
    elements that make up the
    compound
