Question

A 0.24 g sample of compound of oxygen and boron was found
by analysis to contain 0.096 g of boron and 0.144 g of oxygen
Calculate the percentage composition of the compound by
weight.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

Mass of compound = 0.24 g and, mass of boron = 0.096 g percentage of boron in the compound = mass of boron / mass of compound * 100 = 0.096/0.24 * 100 = 40% mass of oxygen = 0.144 g again, mass of compound = 0.24 g percentage of oxygen in compound = mass of oxygen/mass of of compound * 100 = 0.144/0.24 * 100 = 60% thus, the percentage of oxygen and boron in the compound is 60% and 40% respectively.
