If you're question is referring to finding a percentage once you already have the mass, then all you do is multiply the mass by the percent. Since percent is always out of 100, you divide your percent by 100 to get a decimal form (for example 92% becomes .92). Since calculators don't usually allow for a percentage sign, you take your new-found decimal and multiply it by your mass. I hope this helps

What is the equation used to calculate percent by mass?
Percent by mass = (100) times (mass of the ingredient of interest) divided by (mass of the whole mixture)
What is the difference of percent of mass and percent of volume?
Percent of an objects mass is expressed in terms of its weight. Percent of an objects volume is expressed in terms of its size.
How do you convert mass fraction to weight percent?
Multiply the mass fraction by 100.
How to calculate the percent composition of F in NaF?
To find percent composition, you must work with the atomic masses. Look on a periodic chart to find the atomic masses of F and Na. You will find that Na has an atomic mass of 22.990 grams per mole of Na and that F has an atomic mass of 18.998 grams per mole of F. So, add these both together, and that will tell you how much mass NaF will be. NaF will have a mass of 41.988 grams per mole of NaF. Now to take the percent composition of F in NaF, simply divide the mass of F by the mass of NaF. That will give you [18.998/41.988]=.452 which will be about 45%. So your answer is that F has a 45% composition of NaF. PS: Since Na and F only had a stoichiometry of 1 (meaning there is 1 Na and 1 F in the molecule), no multiplication of the atomic masses was necessary when calculating the total mass of the molecule.

How find percent compsotion of oxygen in Na2O?
To find the percent composition of oxygen in Na2O, find the total molar mass of the compound. Then, divide the molar mass of oxygen by the molar mass of the compound, and multiply by 100% to get the percent oxygen.
How do you find the mass of solute using the percent by mass and the mass of solution?
times it together
What is the percent compistion of a compound?
The percent composition of a compound tells the amount of each element in the compound as a percentage. It is possible to find if the mass of an element and the total mass of the compound is known.
Is mass percent the same as percent by mass?
They are synonyms.
Bernard's star has a mass of how many times the mass of sun?

What is the mass percent of aluminum in aluminium chlorohydrate?
In Al2Cl(OH)5 Mass percent is 31.03% You find it by adding up the total molar mass (found on the periodic table) and then adding up the molar mass of Al you have. Finally you divide the molar mass of Al by the total molar mass.

How would your weight and mass change if you went to the moon?
If you measured your mass and your weight and then went to the moon, you would find that your mass had not changed, and your weight had become about 83 percent less.
What is the equation to find the percentage by mass of an element if the total mass of the compound and the mass contribution of the element are known?
Amount of mass of component Y divided by total mass times 100% equals (=) percent (%) Y component.
