One way they are different is that they show elevation
The % composition when 10g of magnesium combine with 4g of nitrogen is 71.43% magnesium and 28.57 % nitrogen
calculation
% composition = mass of an element / total mass x100
mass of magnesium = 10 g
mass of nitrogen = 4g
calculate the total mass used
= 10g of Magnesium + 4 g of nitrogen = 14 grams
% composition for magnesium is therefore = 10/14 x100 = 71.43 %
% composition for nitrogen is therefore = 4 /14 x100 = 28.57 %
It’s easy, if the PH of any acidic solution = -Log[H+], where [H+] is hydrogen ion concentration, multiply each term by (-1) then raise each term as a power to (10), so it will become like this:-
[H+] = 10^(-PH)
The percent composition<span> gives you only the empirical formula.
