To find percent composition do "parts over the whole" ---> each individual mass over the total mass times 100 (since it is a percentage). 

total mass ("the whole")= 73.5 + 42.0 + 72.3 grams= 150 grams

1. Carbon %= 73.5 grams/ 150 grams x 100= 49.0%

2. Hydrogen %= 4.20 grams/ 150 grams x 100= 2.80%

3. Chlorine %= 72.3 grams/ 150 grams x 100= 48.2%

Compare and contrast diffusion and osmosis. Include at least one similarity and one difference between the two processes.
Softa [21]
Osmosis is the diffusion of water <span>across a semipermeable membrane (usually cell membrane) from a region of low solute concentration to a more concentrated solution so it can reach equilibrium (balance). 

D</span>iffusion is <span>a spontaneous movement of particles from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration.

Both results in particles moving and help balance out the concentrations.
Also, in osmosis, the water molecules are moving. In diffusion, it is the solutes moving.

I hope this helps and explains well.</span>
