Mass Ratio Calculator

Formula

The formula to calculate the mass ratio is:

\[ MAR = \frac{ME}{MC} \times 100 \]

Where:

\( MAR \) is the Mass Ratio (%)
\( ME \) is the mass of the element (g/mol)
\( MC \) is the mass of the compound (g/mol)

What is Mass Ratio?

Mass ratio is defined as the ratio of the mass of a specific element to the mass of the entire compound, expressed as a percentage. It helps in understanding the composition of a compound.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following values:

Mass of the Element (ME): 12 g/mol
Mass of the Compound (MC): 44 g/mol

Using the formula to calculate the mass ratio:

\[ MAR = \frac{12}{44} \times 100 = 27.27 \% \]

The mass ratio is 27.27%.
