The molar mass of Calcium hydroxide is 74 g/mol
To find the percent composition we have to find the number of atoms of each element in the formula .
So there’s
Calcium - 1
Oxygen - 2
Hydrogen - 2
Then have to multiply the relative atomic mass of each element by the number of atoms
Ca - 40 g/mol x 1 = 40
O - 16 g/mol x 2 = 32
H - 1 g/mol x 2 = 2
Then To find percent composition of each element we have to divide the mass of each element in the formula by the relative molecular mass of calcium hydroxide
Ca - 40 / 74 x 100 % = 54.0%
O - 32 / 74 x 100 % = 43.2 %
H - 2 / 74 x 100 % = 2.7%
From the options given correct answer is 3rd option
54.0% Ca , 43.0% O and 2.7 % H
