Answer:
Explanation:
- Compund is ferric oxide ( Fe₂O₃)
- Percentage composition of Fe and O in the compound
→ Molar mass of Fe₂O₃ = 112 + 48 = 160 g
Percentage comosition of Fe:
→ Percentage composition of Fe = Molar mass of Fe in the compund/ Total molar mass of compound × 100
→ Molar mass of Fe = 56 g
→ Substitue the datas
Percentage composition of Fe =( 56 × 2/160) × 100 = 70%
Percentage composition of O:
→ Percentage composition of O = Molar mass of O in the compund/ Total molar mass of compound × 100
→ Molar mass of O = 16 g
→ Substitute the datas,
Percentage composition of O = ( 16 × 3/160) × 100
Percentage composition of O = 30%
→ Percentage composition of element = (Mass of element in compound/ Total mass of the compound) × 100
