Determining Percent Composition by Combustion Analysis
This page presents analytical data from which you are to determine the
mass % composition for a compound of up to four elements.
- To begin-press "New Compound" and a description of a
compound and its analytical data will be presented.
- Enter the mass %s into the cells "Check Answer." You
should determine the values to 3 signifcant figures.
- The results on the problem and a running total will appear in the
table.
- You shouldn't attempt this page without having mastered the more
fundamental areas of working with chemical compounds.
- Pressing the "Show Answer" will display the solution
and you will no longer be able to submit an answer for that problem.
