Answer:
29.41% of Calcium and 47.04% of Oxygen
Explanation:
The percent composition of an atom in a molecule is defined as 100 times the ratio between the mass of the atom and the mass of the molecule.
The mass of the molecule of the problem (Ore) is 46.28g. That means the percent composition of Calcium is:
13.61g / 46.28g * 100 = 29.41% of Calcium
And percent composition of Oxygen is:
21.77g / 46.28g * 100 = 47.04% of Oxygen
Oxygen for complete combustion
Answer:
- Carbon shares four of its electrons, and each oxygen shares two of its electrons.
Explanation:
Carbon needs 4 electrons to reach a full outer shell while oxygen needs 2 to reach a full outer shell.
