What is a percentage of composition?

In chemistry, the percentage of the component component in the compound is the percentage of total weight or volume of compound due to this specific component. It is a simple way to express concentration in analytical chemistry. The percentage of the composition may apply to a percentage of weight or in a percentage of volume, although the percentage of weight is most commonly used.

Although the percentage of the composition may refer to the composition of weight or volume, the calculations for both are similar. Weight The percentage, often marked "hm.%" When calculating the abbreviation, is calculated by dividing the weight of the solut or the component of the total solution or compound and multiply the result of 100.

Common application for calculating weight composition can be found in the analysis of elements in the molecule. For example, to calculate the percentage of oxygen in ethanol would bewas first determined by the weight of oxygen in 1 mole ethanol, distribution of this number of total weight of 1 mol ethanol, and then multiplies the result of 100 ethanol (ch 3 2 OH) has a molar weight of approximately 46.069 and oxide and molar) and molar weight for molar and molar). molar and molar for molar, and molar, and oorgena, and molar on Motička, and molar on Motička, molar and molar, and molar and molar, and molar on Motička, molar and molar and grid for molar and molar) and molar) and molar). oxide to moral and mola) and cucumbers. 15,999 grams per mol. The percentage of oxygen composition in ethanol would be (15,999/46,069)*100 or 34.73%.

In the gas chromatography, the weight composition of the substance can be determined by dividing the maximum value by the sum of all maximum values ​​in the Chromatograph. It is a particularly useful technique where there may be more unknown components in COM. As with all chromatography values ​​of gas CHowever, it is important that the chemist consider the effects of the carrier gas on the components, the responses of different components and the general shape of the peaks before evoking any definitive conclusions by the percentage composition.

The percentage composition may be related to other measurement methods in analytical chemistry and can be used to calculate measurements such as molarity. For example, if a solution of hydrochloric acid in water is reported to have a density of 1.188 grams per milliliter and the percentage of hydrochloric acid composition is 37 percent according to weight, then the solution of the solution of 12.1 may be proven. This is achieved by means of a percentage composition to determine the number of moles of hydrochloric acid in 1 liter of solution.
