Molecular Mass of Compound.

$\\ \sf\longmapsto Ba_3(PO_4)_2$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto 3(137u)+2(39u+4(16u))$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto 411u+2(39u+64u)$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto 411u+2(103u)$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto 411u+206u$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto 617u$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto Mass\%\:of\:O$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto (64)/(617)* 100$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto (6400)/(617)$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto 10.3\%$
