1. Bestem den kemiske formel:
* Du har brug for den kemiske formel for forbindelsen. For eksempel:
* Vand (H₂O)
* Carbon dioxide (CO₂)
* Sodium chloride (NaCl)
2. Find the Number of Atoms of Each Element:
* Count the number of atoms of each element in the formula.
* Water (H₂O):2 Hydrogen atoms, 1 Oxygen atom
* Carbon dioxide (CO₂):1 Carbon atom, 2 Oxygen atoms
* Sodium chloride (NaCl):1 Sodium atom, 1 Chlorine atom
3. Calculate the Total Number of Atoms:
* Add up the number of atoms of all elements in the formula.
* Water:2 + 1 =3 atoms
* Carbon dioxide:1 + 2 =3 atoms
* Sodium chloride:1 + 1 =2 atoms
4. Calculate the Atomic Percentage:
* For each element, divide the number of atoms of that element by the total number of atoms in the compound, and multiply by 100%.
* Vand:
* Hydrogen:(2 / 3) * 100% =66.67%
* Oxygen:(1 / 3) * 100% =33.33%
* kuldioxid:
* Carbon:(1 / 3) * 100% =33.33%
* Oxygen:(2 / 3) * 100% =66.67%
* natriumchlorid:
* Sodium:(1 / 2) * 100% =50%
* Chlorine:(1 / 2) * 100% =50%
Vigtig note: Atomic percentage is a measure of the relative number of atoms of each element in a compound. It's different from the mass percentage, which considers the mass of each element in the compound.
