С

Answer 1

The percent composition  of this compound :

Mg = 72.182%

N = 27.818%

Further explanation

Given

9.03 g  Mg

3.48 g  N

Required

The percent composition

Solution

Proust stated the Comparative Law that compounds are formed from elements with the same Mass Comparison so that the compound has a fixed composition of elements

Total mass of the compound :

= 9.03 g + 3.48 g

= 12.51 g

The percent composition :

Mg : 9.03/ 12.51 g x 100% = 72.182%

N : 3.48 / 12.51 g x 100% = 27.818%
