Answer:

% composition O = 19.9%

% composition Cu = 80.1%

Explanation:

Given data:

Total mass of compound = 3.12 g

Mass of copper = 2.50 g

Mass of oxygen = 3.12 - 2.50 = 0.62 g

% composition = ?

Solution:

Formula:

<em>% composition = ( mass of element/ total mass)×100</em>

% composition Cu = (2.50 g / 3.12 g)×100

% composition Cu = 0.80 ×100

% composition Cu = 80.1%

For oxygen:

<em>% composition = ( mass of element/ total mass)×100</em>

% composition O = (0.62 g / 3.12 g)×100

% composition O = 0.199 ×100

% composition O = 19.9%
