Question

What's the percent composition of a compound containing tin and chlorine if 18.35 g of the compound contains 5.74g of tin

Answer 1

For tin :

( 5.74 / 18.35 ) * 100 %

= 105.329 * 100 %

Tin = 0.312 * 100

Tin = 31.2 %

For chlorine :

difference in 100 % of chlorine:

100 % - 31.2 % = 68.8% chlorine

hope this helps!
