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%

Whats the lewis dot diagram for calcium

stepladder [879]

Draw the Lewis dot structure for each atom of the compound to show how many valence electrons are present in each atom. For example, the calcium atom in calcium chloride, CaCl2, has two valence electrons, and the chlorine atoms have seven valence electrons each.

What does the bottom number within each box of the periodic table refer to? How can it be used to determine the number of neutro

geniusboy [140]

The number above the symbol is the atomic mass (or atomic weight). This is the total number of protons and neutrons in an atom. The number below the symbol is the atomic number and this reflects the number of protons in the nucleus of each element's atom. Every element has a unique atomic number.

What is the frequency of red light with a wavelength of 645 nm?

marin [14]

Answer:

4.64E14

Explanation:

First convert 645 nm to m = 6.4500E-7m. The equation for finding v with these values is the speed of light/wavelength. so 2.998E8/6.4500E-7m.

so your v or frequency would equal 4.64E14

Fun fact you know this is visible light because the visible light range is within the E14 range.

How is the melting point of a substance recorded

GrogVix [38]

1. slowly heat stubstance.

2. once the substance is at the most liqued state take the temp. that's the melting point of that subtance.

hope that helps, any other questions feel free to DM me dont wate your points. :)
