Percent Composition from Chemical Formula To calculate the percent composition of a component in a compound: 1. Find the molar mass of the compound by adding up the masses of each atom in the compound. 2. Calculate the molar mass of the component in the compound for which you are solving. 3. Divide the molar mass of the component by the total molar mass of the compound and multiply by 100 How to Calculate % Composition
Percent Composition from Chemical Formula How to Calculate % Composition Step1 8C + 10H +4N + 2O (8 x 12.0 g/mol) + (10 x 1.0 g/mol) + ( 4 x 14.0 g/mol) + (2 x 16.0 g/mol) = g/mol

Percent Composition of Crystal Hydrates A HYDRATE is a CRYSTALLINE compound in which ions are attached to one or more WATER molecules. Example: Na 2 CO 3 10H 2 O Notice how WATER molecules are BUILT INTO the chemical formula Substances without water built into the formula are called ANHYDRATES. How to Calculate % Composition
Problem: What is the percentage by mass of water in sodium carbonate crystals (Na 2 CO 3 10H 2 O)? Step 1: Calculate the formula mass for the hydrate. Na = 2 x 23.0 g/ mol = g/mol C = 1 x 12.0 g/mol = 12.0 g/mol O = 3 x g/mol = 48.0 g/mol H 2 O = 10 x 18.0 g/mol = 180 g/mol Formula mass of hydrate = 286 g/mol How to Calculate % Composition
Step 2: Set up and Calculate % composition by mass = mass of part/ mass of whole X 100% % H 2 O by mass =(180 g/mol)/(286 g/mol) x 100% % H 2 O by mass = 62.9 % How to Calculate % Composition
