Answer:
Percent Composition
1. Find the molar mass of all the elements in the compound in grams per mole.
2. Find the molecular mass of the entire compound.
3. Divide the component's molar mass by the entire molecular mass.
4. You will now have a number between 0 and 1. Multiply it by 100% to get percent composition.
38.46g
Explanation:
Given parameters:
Mass of CaF₂ = 75.0g
Unknown:
Mass of calcium that can be recovered = ?
Solution:
This is a mass percentage problem and we need to solve it accordingly.
To solve this problem;
Find the molar mass of CaF₂
Find the ratio between the molar mass of Ca and that of CaF₂
Multiply by the given mass
Molar mass of CaF₂ = 40 + (2 x 19) = 78g/mol
Mass of calcium =
x 75 = 38.46g
