The given compound is Li₂O

What to fin:

The percent composition of oxygen in Li₂O.

Solution:

The first step is to calculate the total mass of Li₂O.

From the periodic table, the atomi weights of (Li = 6.941, O = 15.999)

Total mass of Li₂O = 2L + O = (2 x 6.941) + 15.999 = 13.882 + 15.999

Total mass of Li₂O = 29.881 gras

The mass of oxygen in Li₂O = 15.999 grams

The final step is to calculate the percent composition of oxygen in Li₂O.
