Take any compound, for example Al2O3.
For determining %composition of an element in the compound, divide total mass of the element with total mass of the compound and then multiply it by 100.

In the case of Al2O3, if we have to find the % composition of oxygen then,
R.M.M. of Al2O3 = 2×27 + 3×16
= 54 + 48
= 102

Percent composition of oxygen
= (G.M.M. of oxygen/R.M.M. of
Al2O3) × 100
= (48/102) × 100
=47.06%

Katen [24]
I would say it should be Einstein's famous equation of e=mc^2 which means energy =mass x the speed of light squared. With this equation Einstein showed that energy comes from a mass travelling at the speed of light squared which is a fundamental equation to explain physical phenomena.

Katyanochek1 [597]

Answer:

Concept: Chemical Analysis

  1. You need to start by graphing the data and then analyzing it.
  2. We can see that the horse has a distance in meters of 980 at the end of the 10 seconds hence it is the fastest.
  3. The horse line has a linearly representation, while the alternate line has parabolic tendencies towards the end. The steeper line indicates a faster change in time or velocity which results in a greater distance traveled indicating that the horse is faster.
  4. *I have confidence you can graph that*
