The formula to calculate the Compound Mass Percentage is:
\[ P = \left( \frac{m}{M} \right) \times 100 \]
Where:
Compound mass percentage is a measure of the concentration of a particular element within a compound. It is expressed as a percentage and indicates how much of the compound’s mass is made up of the specified element. This calculation is crucial in chemistry for understanding the composition of compounds and for various applications such as stoichiometry, material science, and chemical engineering.
Let's assume the following values:
Using the formula:
\[ P = \left( \frac{10}{200} \right) \times 100 = 5\% \]
The Compound Mass Percentage (P) is 5%.
