Finding percent composition is fairly easy. You only need to divide the mass of an element by the total mass of the compound. We can do this one element at a time.
First, let's find the total mass by using the masses of the elements given on the periodic table.
7 x 12.011 (mass of Carbon) = 84.077
5 x 1.008 (mass of Hydrogen) = 5.04
3 x 14.007 (mass of Nitrogen) = 42.021
6 x 15.999 (mass of Oxygen) = 95.994
Add all of those pieces together.
84.077 + 5.04 + 42.021 + 95.994 = 227.132 g/mol is your total. Since we also just found the mass of each individual element, the next step will be very easy.
Carbon: 84.077 / 227.132 = 0.37016 ≈ 37.01 %
Hydrogen: 5.04 / 227.132 = 0.022189 ≈ 2.22 %
Nitrogen: 42.021 / 227.132 = 0.185 ≈ 18.5 %
Oxygen: 95.994 / 227.132 = 0.42263 ≈ 42.26 %
You can check your work by making sure they add up to 100%. The ones I just found add up to 99.99, which is close enough. A small difference (no more than 0.03 in my experience) is just a matter of where you rounded your numbers.
Answer:
0.297 mol/L
Explanation:
<em>A chemist prepares a solution of potassium dichromate by measuring out 13.1 g of potassium dichromate into a 150 mL volumetric flask and filling the flask to the mark with water. Calculate the concentration in mol/L of the chemist's potassium dichromate solution. Be sure your answer has the correct number of significant digits.</em>

Step 1: Calculate the moles corresponding to 13.1 g of potassium dichromate
The molar mass of potassium dichromate is 294.19 g/mol.
13.1 g × (1 mol/294.19 g) = 0.0445 mol
Step 2: Convert the volume of solution to L
We will use the relationship 1 L = 1000 mL.
150 mL × (1 L/1000 mL) = 0.150 L
Step 3: Calculate the concentration of the solution in mol/L
C = 0.0445 mol/0.150 L = 0.297 mol/L
