Calculate the percentage composition of Ca(MnO4)2.

<u>Firstly, we see how many atoms are there for each element in the formula</u>.

Ca= 1 atom

Mn= 2 atoms

O= 8 atoms

<u>Next, we are going to consult our periodic table for the atomic mass of each element.</u>

Ca= 40

Mn= 55

O= 16

Then, we have to find the molar mass for the compound..

Here is the formula for calculating molar mass of an element:

Molar Mass= ( no. of atoms of the element × atomic mass of the element)

Now, we have to calculate the atomic mass of the compound. So using the molar mass formula for an element, we calculate the molar mass for each element then we sum up their molar masses to get the compounds molar mass.

Molar mass (Ca)= 1× 40

(Ca)= 40

Molar mass (Mn)=2×55

(Mn)= 110

Molar mass (O)= 8×16

(O)= 128

Now: Molar mass( compound)= (Ca)+(Mn)+(O)

= 40+ 110 128

= 278

This is everything we need to calculate our percentage composition for each element..

* The example says to find the percentage composition for Ca. So we only find for Ca, Which is already done using the formula and the answer is 14.39%.

To prove that your answer is correct, find the percentage composition for Mn and O as well. Then you add up their percentage compositions.

If you do and you get 100 as your answer, then your percentage compositions are correct.

Why don't you try finding the percentage composition for Mn and O, then add up all the three percentage compositions. If you 100 as their sum, then your percentage composition for each of the elements are correct.

What is the molecular formula of a compound that is composed of 94.1% O and 5.9% H with a molar mass of 34g
elena-s [515]

Answer:

B. 67.6/Hg(200.5)= .337. 10.8/S(32.1)= .336. 21.6/O(16)= 1.35--> .337/.336= 1 .336/.336= 1 1.35/.336= 4. Formula= HgSO4

Which type of seismic waves produces the most severe ground movement?
Leto [7]
The surface waves are the type of seismic waves that produce the most severe ground movement. This wave is slow in nature and so produces a rolling effect similar to a surface wave in a pond. This kind of wave is far more devastating than the P waves and the S waves. The surface waves have the capacity to shake a building from side to side until it collapses. This kind of wave moves in a pattern similar to a circle. It actually originates at a point and then start moving outwards in a circle.
