We will follow the following formula in order to calculate percentage composition of x element :

Percentage coposition of X = (Molar Mass of X) /(Molar Mass of whole molecule )* 100

1.Percentage composition of hydrogen in HI ( M.mass HI = 1 + 126. = 127g/mol)

% of H in HI = Molar Mass of H / Molar Mass of whole molecule *100

= (1.008g/mol /127.99g/mol ) *100

= 0.78 %

2. Percentage composition of hydrogen in NH3 ( M.mass NH3= 14+3 = 17 g/mol)

% of H in NH3 = M.mass of hydrogen / M.mass of NH3*100

= (1.008g/mol )/17.031g/mol *100

= 0.059*100

=5.9 %

3. Percentage composition of hydrogen in COOH

% of H in COOH = M.mass of hydrogen / M.mass of COOH *100

= 1.008g/mol /45g/mol *100

= 0.024*100

= 2.24 %
