Calculate the percentage composition of each element in calcium hydroxide

Chemistry
1 answer:
sp2606 [1]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

54.1 % Ca, 43.2 % O, 2.7% H

Explanation:

Molecular formula for calcium hydroxide is Ca(OH)₂

As we don't have a mass of Ca(OH)₂ to find out the percentage composition, we consider that the question refers to 1 mol of compound.

1 mol of hydroxide weighs 74.08 g

1 mol of hydroxide has 1 mol of Ca, therefore 40.08 g are Ca

2 moles of O therefore 32g are O

2 moles of H therefore 2 g are H

Percentage composition is known as (Mass of element/Total mass) . 100

  • (40.08 / 74.08) . 100 = 54.1 %
  • (32 / 74.08) . 100 = 43.2 %
  • (2 / 74.08) . 100 = 2.7%

For what reasons would modern scientists accept dalton's atomic theory but not the idea of an atom proposed by the greek philoso
soldi70 [24.7K]

Solution:

The idea of an atom proposed by the Greek philosophers because:

According to Greek Philosopher, matter is composed of small and indivisible particles called atoms. He introduced atoms as too small to be seen, unchangeable, completely solid without internal structure. He proposed that atoms are of variety of shapes and sizes which is responsible for different types of matter.

But according to Dalton’s atomic theory, chemical elements have atoms, which are identical in weight. The different elements have different atoms of different weight. Atoms can combine in whole-number ratios to form compounds. These observations are already introduced by Greek philosopher, but the idea of atomic weight is introduced by Dalton. He introduced the list of 21 elements with their atomic weights and, he was the first to propose the element’s symbol.

Without using Appendix B, predict the sign of ΔS° for(b) KBr(s)→ KBr(aq)
Volgvan

Since the sign is positive, the entropy increased by 88.48 J/K.

Examine the phases of the species present to determine whether a physical or chemical process will cause an increase or decrease in entropy. Keep in mind "Silly Little Goats" to aid you in telling.

[1 Sf K+1 + 1 Sf Br-1 (aq)] ([1Sf(KBr (s))])

[1(102.5) + 1(82.42)] - [1(96.44)] = 88.48 J/K

If the entropy has grown, we say that Delta S is positive, and if it has dropped, we say that Delta S is negative. Due to its ionic nature, KBr is soluble in water and causes the 'K(+)' ions to hydrate.
