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%

Planck’s constant is approximately equal to which of the following?
KonstantinChe [14]
Henlo!
Bohr's model was unable to calculate or it required precise information about position of an electron and its velocity. It is very difficult to calculate velocity and position of an electron at the same time because electron i too small to see and may only be observed if peturbed, for example we could hit the electron with another particle such as photon or an electron, or we could apply electric or magnetic field to the electron. This will inevitably change the position of the elctron or its velocity and direction. Heisenberg aid that more precisely we can define the position of an electron, the less certainity we are able to define its velocity and vice versa. 
In short, first option is correct one
