60.5% + 39.7% = 100%
A compound is formed when 9.03 g
Mg combines completely with 3.48 g
N. What is the percent composition
of this compound?

The percent composition  of this compound :

Mg = 72.182%

N = 27.818%

Given

9.03 g  Mg

3.48 g  N

Required

The percent composition

Solution

Proust stated the Comparative Law that compounds are formed from elements with the same Mass Comparison so that the compound has a fixed composition of elements

Total mass of the compound :

= 9.03 g + 3.48 g

= 12.51 g

The percent composition :

Mg : 9.03/ 12.51 g x 100% = 72.182%

N : 3.48 / 12.51 g x 100% = 27.818%

explanation: it gains negative electrons, therefore becoming negatively charged. as charge cannot be created, nor destroyed, only transferred, this leaves the wool positive. now that they have opposite charges, the two items attract.
