What is the percent composition of phosphoric acid (H3PO4)?

H3PO4 Mol mass..

= (3 x H1 = 3) + (1 x P31 = 31) + (4 x O16 = 64). = 98g/mol.

a)..Hydrogen: = 3 / 98 = 0.0306 x 100% = 3.06%.

b)..Phosphorus = 31/98 = 0.3162 x 100% = 31.63%.

c)..Oxygen = 64/98 = 0.6531 x 100% = 65.31%.

(Total = 100% H3PO4).

Explanation:

Find the molar mass of all the elements in the compound in grams per mole.

Find the molecular mass of the entire compound.

Divide the component's molar mass by the entire molecular mass.

You will now have a number between 0 and 1. Multiply it by 100% to get percent composition.

space exploration has led to the development and technological improvement of many everyday items. (if this answer is wrong i will find the right answer) : )

explanation:

let the different atoms be x and y. each with four protons and same mass will be represented as follows.

mass number is number of protons + number of neutrons.

            and  

since, it is given that one has a negative charge while the other is neutral. therefore, there will be increase in number of protons and the atom will be represented as follows.

according to periodic table, mass number of beryllium is 9 and it has atomic number 4 so, the atoms will be and .  

the protons and neutrons will be located inside the nucleus whereas the electrons will be revolving around the nucleus.
