Answer:
A. 20.866%
Explanation:
First, we calculate molar mass of Li3PO3
Molar mass of Li3PO3 = 6.9 (3) + 31 + 16(3)
= 20.7 + 31 + 48
= 99.7g/mol
To calculate the percent composition of Lithium, we say:
Mass of lithium in compound/mass of compound × 100
% composition = 20.7/99.7 × 100
= 0.208 × 100
= 20.8%.
