To find the Percent Composition of an atom, you use this formula:
Mass of element in the compound you're studying on ( in this case it's 5 since there is 5 Hydrogens) over the mass of the compound (which is here 79), Multiplied by 100 since you want a percent.
So we get:
So you get about:
So, the percent composition of Hydrogen in NH4HCO3 is 6.3%
Hope this Helps! :D
