Considering percent composition, the following statement is false: When there are 2 types of elements in a compound, calculating the percent composition of one element will allow simple subtraction to obtain the percent composition of the other element Percent composition cannot be used to determine the mass of each element in a compound Percent composition cannot be calculated if you are given the name of a chemical and not the formula Wrono To verify the individual percent composition of each element in a compound, the overall percentage should sum to 100% Ⓒ100 is not used in the determination of significant figures because it is not a data value
