 Presentation and Discussion

The percentage composition of a given compound is defined as the ratio of the

amount of each element to the total amount of individual elements present in the compound
multiplied by 100. Here, the quantity is measured in terms of grams of the elements present.
The percent composition of any compound expresses its composition in terms of all the
elements present. Thus, it helps in chemical analysis of the given compound.

The Formula for Percentage Composition

The percentage composition of a given element is expressed using the following formula,

Here, %CE is the percentage composition of the element E, that is to be calculated.

g represents the total amount of element E present in the compound and g T represents the
E

total amount of all the elements present in the compound. The ratio is multiplied by 100 to
represent it in terms of percentage.
Solved Examples
Example 1: For the compound (Ca(OH)2) or calcium hydroxide, find the per cent
composition of the element Calcium(Ca).
Solution:
Given that the chemical formula for calcium hydroxide = (Ca(OH)2)
Using the above formula, we calculate the formula mass of this compound.
For calcium hydroxide, the formula mass can be calculated as,

Molar mass (approx) of each element can be given as,

Formula mass of Ca(OH)2

Formula mass = 40 + 32 + 2 = 74

Using this value, we calculate the percentage

composition of Calcium in the compound as,
