%S=47.06%

Mg(NO₃)₂

%Mg=32.43%

%N=18.92%

%O=(64.86%

Further explanation

Given

(NH₄)₂S

Mg(NO₃)₂

Required

The percent composition

Solution

(NH₄)₂S MW=68 g/mol

%N=2. Ar N  / MW (NH₄)₂S x 100%

%N= (2.14/68) x 100% = 41.18%

%H =(8.1/68) x 100%=11.76%

%S=(32/68)x 100%=47.06%

Mg(NO₃)₂ MW=148 g/mol

%Mg=(2.24/148)x100%=32.43%

%N=(2.14/148)x100%=18.92%

%O=(6.16/148)x100%=64.86%
