In the compound Cu2OH2CO3 which element is present with the largest percent by mass?

From the formula of the compound, each molecular unit contains 2 copper atoms, 4 oxygen atoms, one carbon atom, and 2 hydrogen atoms. Multiplying each of these by its corresponding atomic mass gives 127 atomic mass units ("amu") of copper, 64 amu of oxygen, 12 amu of carbon, and 2 amu of hydrogen. Copper is clearly present in the largest percent by mass.
