What is the percent composition of a copper chloride compound if a 269 g sample contains 127 g of copper and 142 grams of chlorine.

Explanation:

The whole sample is 269

%copper = 127/269 * 100 = 47.2%

%chlorine = 142/269 * 100 = 52.8%

That's all you are asking. Is there more?

explanation:

let the different atoms be x and y. each with four protons and same mass will be represented as follows.

mass number is number of protons + number of neutrons.

            and  

since, it is given that one has a negative charge while the other is neutral. therefore, there will be increase in number of protons and the atom will be represented as follows.

according to periodic table, mass number of beryllium is 9 and it has atomic number 4 so, the atoms will be and .  

the protons and neutrons will be located inside the nucleus whereas the electrons will be revolving around the nucleus.  

that tool would be a compass
