Question
To find percent composition, ____
Answer
To find percent composition, multiply an element's atomic weight by the number of atoms it contributes to the empirical formula. Divide the result by the net weight of all the atoms in the empirical formula, which yields the mass fraction of that element in the compound. Multiply by 100% to get the percent composition by mass.
