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%

Key words how atoms work?
pantera1 [17]
Most atoms have three different subatomic particles inside them: protons, neutrons, and electrons. The protons and neutrons are packed together into the center of the atom(which is called the nucleus) and the electrons, which are very much smaller, whizz around the outside. Most of an atom is empty space.

I hope this helps you! :D
