Acompound is broken down into 34.5 g of element a, 18.2 g of element b, and 2.6 of element c. what is the percent (by mass) of each element?

First, find the total mass.

34.5 g + 18.2 g + 2.6 g = 55.3 g

Divide the mass of each element by total mass.

34.5 g / 55.3 g = .62 x 100 = 62% element a

18.2 g / 55.3 = .33 x 100 = 33% element b

2.6 g / 55.3 = .047 x 100 = 4.7% element c

Hope I helped!

i think   the answer is c hope i'm right

nacl or sodium chloride is an ionic compound. this is because an ionic compound pertains to a compound that consists of positively and negatively charged ions. in this case, na (sodium) has a tendency to lose one electron when it reacts with with other atoms, so the resulting sodium ion contains 11 protons and 10 electrons, thus making it positively charged (na+), when chlorine reacts, it usually gains one electron to form an ion called chloride, thus making it negatively charged ( since the ions are oppositely charged, they attract.
