  • Ammonia (NH₃) Composition: Calculating Elemental Percentage
    Here's how to calculate the percentage composition of ammonia (NH₃):

    1. Find the Molar Mass of Each Element

    * Nitrogen (N): 14.01 g/mol

    * Hydrogen (H): 1.01 g/mol

    2. Calculate the Molar Mass of Ammonia (NH₃)

    * N: 14.01 g/mol

    * H: 1.01 g/mol x 3 = 3.03 g/mol

    * Total: 14.01 + 3.03 = 17.04 g/mol

    3. Calculate the Percentage Composition of Each Element

    * Nitrogen (N): (14.01 g/mol / 17.04 g/mol) x 100% = 82.24%

    * Hydrogen (H): (3.03 g/mol / 17.04 g/mol) x 100% = 17.76%

    Therefore, the percentage composition of ammonia (NH₃) is:

    * Nitrogen (N): 82.24%

    * Hydrogen (H): 17.76%
