Calculate the percentage composition of a compound( Na=23, O=16, H=1, C=12 )1. Calculate the percentage composition of Sodium hydroxide (NaOH)2. Calculate the percentage composition of Carbon dioxide (CO2)
Added by Zachary R.
Step 1
For Sodium hydroxide (NaOH): First, we need to find the molar mass of NaOH. Molar mass of NaOH = (1 × 23) + (1 × 16) + (1 × 1) = 23 + 16 + 1 = 40 g/mol Now, we can find the percentage composition of each element in NaOH. Percentage of Na = (23/40) × 100 = Show more…
