What is the percent magnesium in a sample made of 24g Mg and 70gCl?

Total percent of magnesium in sample = 25.5%

Explanation:

Given:

Mass of magnesium = 24 gram

Mass of chlorine = 70 gram

Find:

Total percent of magnesium in sample = ?

Computation:

Total mass of sample = Mass of magnesium + Mass of chlorine

Total mass of sample = 24 gram + 70 gram

Total mass of sample = 94 gram

Total percent of magnesium in sample = [Mass of magnesium / Total mass of sample]100

Total percent of magnesium in sample = [24/94]100

Total percent of magnesium in sample = [0.255]100

Total percent of magnesium in sample = 25.5%
