Answer:
Total percent of magnesium in sample = 25.5%
Explanation:
Given:
Mass of magnesium = 24 gram
Mass of chlorine = 70 gram
Find:
Total percent of magnesium in sample = ?
Computation:
Total mass of sample = Mass of magnesium + Mass of chlorine
Total mass of sample = 24 gram + 70 gram
Total mass of sample = 94 gram
Total percent of magnesium in sample = [Mass of magnesium / Total mass of sample]100
Total percent of magnesium in sample = [24/94]100
Total percent of magnesium in sample = [0.255]100
Total percent of magnesium in sample = 25.5%
