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
The correct terminology for chlorine acid is Hydrochloric Acid. The formula for that is HCl. This is because H has an ionic charge of +1 and Cl has an ionic charge of -1. Thus, they will combine to form HCl. Also, H is in front because almost all acids will have H in front.
Answer: Option (a) is the correct answer.
Explanation:
Ionic salts are defined as the salts which tend to contain ionic bonds as there occurs transfer of electrons between its combining atoms.
So, when an ionic salt melts or it is dissolved in water then it will dissociate into its respective ions and as electricity is the flow of electrons or ions. Hence, this salt is then able to conduct electricity.
As covalent compounds are insoluble in water so, they do no dissociate into ions. Hence, they do not conduct electricity.
Similarly, metallic and network solids do not dissociate into ions either when melted or dissolved in water. Therefore, they also do not conduct electricity.
Thus, we can conclude that when a white crystalline salt conducts electricity when it is melted and when it dissolves in water then this bond is of ionic type.
