20.0g Ca + 16.0g S = 36.0g CaS
% Composition of Ca = 20.0g Ca/36.0g CaS x 100 = 55.6% Ca

∙ 14y agoThe total mass of the compound is 20.0 + 16.0 = 36.0. The percentage of Ca is the mass of the Ca over the total mass, so it's 20.0/36.0 = 0.556

What is the percent composition of the compound that forms when 222.6 g N combines completely with 77.4 g O?
The total mass is 222.6 + 77.4 = 300.0 g. The percent of nitrogen is therefore: 100(222.6/300.00) = 74.2 %. By difference, the percent of oxygen is 25.8 %.

What is the percent composition of aluminum cyanide?
Percent composition is a calculation of how much of the molecular weight of a compound is due to a particular element within that compound. For Al(CN)3, the percent composition of aluminum would be 27 / (27 +[12 x 3] + [14 x 3]) = 25.7%
What do you need to calculate the percent-age composition of a substance?
