    a. Mass % = 4.8 %; b. Atom % = 18.9 %

    Part a. Mass percent

    Mass % = mass of component/total mass * 100 %

    Total mass = mass of C + mass of Fe = 5 g + 100 g = 105 g

    ∴ Mass % = mass of C/total mass = 5 g/105 g * 100 % = 4.8 %

    Part b. Atom percent

    Atom % = atoms of component/total atoms * 100 %

    Step 1. Calculate the atoms of C

    Atoms of C = 5 g C * (1 mol C/12.01 g C) * (6.022 * 10^23 atoms C/1 mol C)

    = 2.5 * 10^23 atoms C

    Step 2. Calculate the atoms of Fe

    Atoms of Fe

    = 100 g Fe * (1 mol Fe/55.845 g Fe) * (6.022 * 10^23 atoms Fe/1 mol Fe)

    = 1.08 * 10^24 atoms Fe

    Step 3. Calculate the total atoms

    Total atoms = atoms of C + atoms of Fe

    = 2.5 * 10^23 atoms + 1.08 * 10^24 atoms = 1.33 * 10^24 atoms

    Step 4. Calculate the atom percent

    ∴ Atom % = atoms of C/total atoms

    = 2.5 * 10^23 atoms/1.33 * 10^24 atoms * 100 % = 18.9 %
