Among well-characterized compounds, lithium carbide probably contains the highest percentage of carbon by mass. However, it might well be possible to make a compound with more carbon by inducing one substitution on graphene or one of the other multi-atomic forms of carbon.

The percentage is 23,14 %.
The properly written formula, SiC, shows that the substance contains equal numbers of silicon and carbon atoms. Therefore, the atomic percentage of carbon is 50 %. The question may have been intended to ask for mass percentage. The gram atomic mass of silicon is 28.0855 and the gram atomic mas of carbon is 12.011. Therefore, the mass percentage of carbon is 100[12.011/(12.011 + 28.0855)] or about 29.956, to the justified number of significant digits.
The percentage of H in ammonium phosphate is the mass of H divided by the mass of the entire compound.
it would be 16.97%
The formula shows that the compound contains 8 hydrogen atoms per molecule, of which the gram molecular mass is 46.07. Each hydrogen atom has a gram atomic mass of 1.00794. Therefore, the percent by mass of hydrogen in the compound is 100[8(1.00794)/46.07] or 17.50 %, to the justified number of significant digits. (The value "8" is exact.)
yes
Mass percentage calculations determine the percentage of an element based on mass in a compound. This can then be used to determine the percentage in a compound of each individual element.
Sometimes, but not necessarily: The largest percent by mass in a compound is that of the element for which the product of the subscript and the atomic weight is highest. For example, there is more carbon than hydrogen by mass in CH4.
The percentage of carbon is 71,58 %.
NH3 which is ammonia has the highest percentage by mass of nitrogen.
the percentage by mass of each element in a compound.
the relative molecular mass or molecular weight of a compound is the mass of a molecule of the compound relative to the mass of a carbon atom taken as exactly 12.
The percentage of oxygen is 54,84 %.
Carbon dioxide
The percent composition of a compound tells the amount of each element in the compound as a percentage. It is possible to find if the mass of an element and the total mass of the compound is known.
The percentage is 23,14 %.
Molar mass of all oxygen in compound/Total molar mass of compound * 100 = % oxygen in compound ==================
