How to find % of element in a compound?
% mass= mass of the element in a compound/total mass of the compound
Mole
A mole is the amount of substance containing in 6x10^23 particles
What is the mass of 1 mole of C-12, number of atoms
12g, 6x10^23 atoms
Mass=
Mass = Moles x RFM
Moles=
Moles = Mass/RFM
