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%

Answer:

This isotope has 59 electrons giving it a charge of -2.

Explanation:

To find this we have to understand isotope relates to the mass of the nucleus. This isotope has 59 electrons to counter the protons and give it a negative charge.

Scenes A and B depict changes in matter at the atomic scale:
kaheart [24]

Scene B depicts chemical change in matter at atomic change.

Composition distinguishes a chemical reaction from a physical reaction. In a chemical process, the makeup of the components changes; in a physical change, the appearance, smell, or straightforward exhibition of a sample of matter changes without changing its composition. Despite the fact that we refer to them as physical "reactions," nothing is actually changing. A change in the substance in question's elemental composition is necessary for a reaction to occur. Therefore, from now on, we will simply refer to bodily "reactions" as physical changes.
