This document contains the step-by-step workings and calculations to determine the mass percentages of elements in various chemical compounds. It shows how to calculate the mass of each element in a compound based on molar mass, and then determine the mass percentage by taking the mass of each element divided by the total mass of the compound and multiplying by 100%. Examples provided include calculating the mass percentages of calcium, sulfur, and oxygen in CaSO4, sulfur and oxygen in SO2, sulfur and hydrogen in H2S, and hydrogen, sulfur, and oxygen in H2SO4.
