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

Calculate the work, w, gained or lost by the system when a gas expands from 15 L to 45 L against a constant external pressure of
marta [7]

Answer:

Work done by the system = 4545 J

Explanation:

The expression for the calculation of work done is shown below as:

w=-P\times \Delta V

Where, P is the pressure

\Delta V is the change in volume

From the question,  

\Delta V = 45 - 15 L = 30 L

P = 1.5 atm

w=-1.5\times 30\ atmL

Also, 1 atmL = 101 J

So,  

w=-1.0\times0.75\times 101\ J=-4545\ J (negative sign implies work is done by the system)

<u>Work done by the system = 4545 J</u>

2). A student collects 425 L of oxygen at a temperature of 24.0°C and a pressure
Mazyrski [523]

Answer:

15.5 moles

Explanation:

Applying,

PV = nRT.................. Equation 1

Where P = pressure, V = Volume, n = number of mole, R = molar gas constant, T = Temperature.

Make n the subject of the equation

n = PV/RT............... Equation 2

From the question,

Given: P = 0.899 atm, V = 425 L, T = 24 °C = (273+24) K = 297 K.

Constant: R = 0.083 L.atm/K.mol

Substitute these values into equation 2

n = (0.899×425)/(297×0.083)

n = 15.5 moles
