How Percent Composition Works
+Percent composition represents the percentage by mass of each element in a compound. It is calculated using the formula:
Percent Composition = (Mass of Element / Total Mass of Compound) × 100%
This calculation is essential in chemistry for determining the relative amounts of elements in compounds, which helps in empirical formula determination and stoichiometric calculations.
