Concept introduction:
The law of mass conservation - Introduced by the famous French chemist Antoine Lavoisier, the law states that there is no change in the total mass of the substances that go into any physical or
The law of definite composition - This law can be defined as; a particular compound maintains an exact universal proportion of elements in its composition, irrespective of the source. The proposal for this law was made by Joseph Proust.
The multiple proportions law - The ratio of the weights of an element with variable mass is small whole numbers when it forms more than one compound by combining with an element with fixed weight.

Interpretation:
The mass fractions of lead and sulfur in a given sample of galena are to be determined.

The multiple proportions law - The ratio of the weights of an element with variable mass is small whole numbers when it forms more than one compound by combining with an element with fixed weight.
The mass fraction of an element in a compound is defined as the ratio of the sum of the masses of all the atoms of that element to that of the mass of one mole of compound.

Mass percent of an element represents the percentage concentration of that element in a compound. It is equal to the mass fraction expressed as a percentage. The general formula to calculate the mass percent of an element A in a compound is as follows:
