QUESTION:

Tin (\(\mathrm{Sn}\)) exists in Earth's crust as \(\mathrm{SnO}_{2}\). Calculate the percent composition by mass of \(\mathrm{Sn}\) and \(\mathrm{O}\) in \(\mathrm{SnO}_{2}\).

ANSWER:

Step 1 of 2

Here, we are going to calculate the percent composition by mass of Sn and O in \(SnO_2\).

 

The percent composition by mass is defined as the percent by mass of each element in a molecule.

The percent composition by mass can be calculated by using the following formula.

% composition of an element =   100%

Where n is the whole number of atoms present in the molecule.
