You should read up on Proust's law, better known as the Law of Definite Proportions. This is a chemical law that defines your question more generally, on why the ratio of elements and ions are always fixed.

Basically, this compound Magnesium(II) Chloride is MgCl2 because it has the same number of protons, neutrons, and electrons all the way. This defines the properties of the compound or atom.

What is the molar mass of CaCl2?
alekssr [168]
Molar mass of CaCl2 = 40+ ( 35.5 ×2)=110

Mr of Ca(OH)2 = 40+ (16+1)×2 =74

%of Ca = (40÷ 74)×10=...

1 m = 100cm...
1cm = (1÷100) m
So 45.5 cm = 45.5 ×(1÷100) =....

1km = 1000m
1m = 100 cm
1cm =10mm
So 1km = 1000×100×10 mm
Now convert
