Answer:
total mass of compounds-0.24 g
mass of boron in it=0.096g
therefore% composition by weight of boron =(Mass of boron/Total mass of compounds)*100
=(0.096/0.24)*100
=40%
mass of oxygen in the compound
=(0.144/0.24)*100
=60%
the compound is made up only boron and oxygen, therefore the %Composition of the components sum t 100%(60%+40%)
