I assume you mean mass of oxygen % in SO2.
This is calculated by finding the molecular weight of S and O (32 and 16 respectively)
As there are 2 oxygens, 16 is multiplied by 2, = 32.
put 32 over the total, = 32/64. Which equals 50%
(16.0g + 16.0g)/(32.1g + 16.0g + 16.0g) x 100 %
The molar mass of SO2 is 64.07 g/mol. Since oxygen has a molar mass of 16 g/mol and there are 2 oxygen atoms in SO2, the total mass of oxygen in SO2 is 32 g. Therefore, the mass percent of oxygen in SO2 is 32/64.07 * 100% = 50.05%.
A sulfur dioxide has one sulfur atom and two oxygen atoms. Therefore, considering a mole of sulfur dioxide (64g); there is 32g of sulfur and 32g of oxygen. Hence the mass percent of oxygen is 50%.
The molar mass of sulfur dioxide (SO2) is 64.06 g/mol. The molar mass of sulfur is 32.06 g/mol. Calculate the mass percent of sulfur in SO2 using the formula (mass of sulfur / mass of SO2) x 100%. This gives a mass percent of sulfur in SO2 as 50%.

(16.0g + 16.0g)/(32.1g + 16.0g + 16.0g) x 100 %
The molar mass of SO2 is 64.07 g/mol. Since oxygen has a molar mass of 16 g/mol and there are 2 oxygen atoms in SO2, the total mass of oxygen in SO2 is 32 g. Therefore, the mass percent of oxygen in SO2 is 32/64.07 * 100% = 50.05%.
The molar mass of SO2 is 64.07 g/mol. Oxygen has a molar mass of 16.00 g/mol. To calculate the mass percent of oxygen in SO2, we can divide the molar mass of oxygen (32.00 g) by the molar mass of SO2 (64.07 g) and multiply by 100 to get 50.05%.
The molar mass of SO2 is 64.06 g/mol. Oxygen contributes 32 g/mol to this molar mass, so the mass percent of oxygen in SO2 is (32 g/mol / 64.06 g/mol) x 100, which is approximately 50%.
A sulfur dioxide has one sulfur atom and two oxygen atoms. Therefore, considering a mole of sulfur dioxide (64g); there is 32g of sulfur and 32g of oxygen. Hence the mass percent of oxygen is 50%.
The molar mass of sulfur dioxide (SO2) is 64.06 g/mol. The molar mass of sulfur is 32.06 g/mol. Calculate the mass percent of sulfur in SO2 using the formula (mass of sulfur / mass of SO2) x 100%. This gives a mass percent of sulfur in SO2 as 50%.

The percent composition of SO2 is approximately 50% sulfur and 50% oxygen.
The percent by mass of sulfur in a sulfur oxide compound can vary depending on the specific compound. For example, in sulfur dioxide (SO2), which contains one sulfur atom and two oxygen atoms, the percent by mass of sulfur would be approximately 50%. In sulfur trioxide (SO3), which contains one sulfur atom and three oxygen atoms, the percent by mass of sulfur would be approximately 40%.
The mass percent of oxygen is approximately 21% in Earth's atmosphere.
