What is the importance of percentage composition?

Percent composition can be used to calculate the percentage of an element/compound in a mixture. From the percent composition, you can also find the empirical formula. And from the empirical formula you can find the actual molecular weight.


What do you need to calculate the percent-age composition of a substance?

The molecular formula of the compound can be calculated from the composition of element in a compound. The next steps are involved in the calculation of percentage of every element in a compound.


What three types of information are needed on order to find an empirical formula from percentage composition data?

· Assume that you have 100.0 g sample of the compound · Calculate the amount of each element in the sample · Convert the mass composition of each element to a composition in moles by dividing by the appropriate molar mass

What is ma2 in the periodic table?

There is no element with the symbol ma2 on the periodic table.ma2 is a formula for a di atomic element like oxygen-O2 and Hydrogen-H2.The element with a similar symbol like ma is Magnesium-Mg


What does Fe mean in the periodic table?

Fe is the chemical formula for the element iron in the periodic table, whenever you see it it means iron.


Is it necessary to know the formula of a compound in order to calculate its percent composition?

YES.For one to know the percentage composition,the amount of moles of the reacting element must be considered using the compound. •Well you dont really have to know just the formula. You can eaither use the formula if its given or the molar mass if its given. i just recently did a test where i was given either the Molar mass or Formula name and i had to figure out the percent composition. so it depends on the info given.


What does N2 stand for in the periodic table?

N2 is the chemical formula of the diatomic molecule of nitrogen. The periodic table contain the element as N.


What is the percent composition of each element in magnesium permanganate?

To work this out you need the formula of the compound and your periodic table to tell you the relative atomic masses of each element. First add up all the relative atomic masses to get the relative formula mass. Then for each element in turn, take its relative atomic mass (multiplying up if there is more than one of it in the formula) and divide by the relative formula mass, then multiply by 100 to get a percentage. I'm not going to give you the answer - partly because then you'll never practise doing it for yourself, and partly because I wonder if you meant magnesium permanaganate, or the more usual school compound of potassium permanganate, KMnO4.
