Chemical formula of chlorophyll

C₅₅H₇₂O₅N₄Mg

Problem:

If the molar mass of the chlorophyll compound is 892 g, what is the percent by mass of magnesium?  

A. 3.0%

B. 2.9%

C. 2.8%

D.2.7%

Answer:

D.2.7%

Given Data:

mass of chlorophyll = 893.51 g

mass of magnesium = 24.3 g

Percent by mass of magnesium = unknown

Solution:

% mass of magnesium = mass of magnesium ÷ mass of chlorophyll  × 100

                                      = 24.3 g ÷ 893.51 g × 100

                                      = 0.02719 × 100

                                      = 2.719 %

                                     = 2.7 %

                     

Answer:

The percent by mass of magnesium in chlorophyll is equal to 2.7%
