IV ESSAY: Read the situation below and explain your view about it in 4-5 sentences. (6 points)

How can you relate in daily life situation or in your future career the study of percentage by
mass composition of compounds?

Percent composition plays an important role in everyday life. It  is more than just the
amount of chlorine in your swimming pool because it concerns everything from the money
in your pocket to your health and how you live.  The following are only some of the reasons
why the study of percentage composition is important:

The nutrition label found on the container of every  bit of processed food sold by the
local grocery store employs the idea of percent composition. On all nutrition labels, a known
serving size is broken down in five categories:  Total Fat, Cholesterol, Sodium, Total
Carbohydrate, and Protein. These categories are broken down into further subcategories,
including Saturated Fat and Dietary Fiber. The mass for each category, except Protein,  is
then converted to percent of Daily Value. Only two subcategories, Saturated Fat and Dietary
Fiber are converted to percent of Daily Value.
You can also use percent composition to to see how much flour contributes to the
mass of an overall loaf bread. You can see how much Tang juice powder is in a given amount
of juice drink, in percentage. Percentage composition can be used for virtually anything that
has a mixture of things. So you don't always have to think percentage composition refers to
chemical compounds, such as H2O or KMnO4.

We are at our very best, and we are happiest,

when we are fully engaged in work we enjoy
on the journey toward the goal we've established for ourselves.
It gives meaning to our time off and comfort to our sleep.
It makes everything else in life so wonderful, so worthwhile.
