The percentage composition of this compound : 40%Ca, 12%C and 48%O

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

20.0 g of calcium,

6.0 g of carbon,

and 24.0 g of oxygen.

Required

The percentage composition

Solution

Total mass of compound :

=mass calcium + mass carbon + mass oxygen

=20 g + 6 g + 24 g

=50 g

Percentage composition :

  • Ca-calcium

\tt \dfrac{20}{50}\times 100\%=40\%

  • C-carbon

\tt \dfrac{6}{50}\times 100\%=12\%

  • O-oxygen

\tt \dfrac{24}{50}\times 100\%=48\%

For the following questions, use a periodic table and your atomic calculations to find the unknown information about each isotop
mafiozo [28]

Answer:

Option B is correct.

4

Explanation:

We know that an atom consist of electron, protons and neutrons. Protons and neutrons are present with in nucleus while the electrons are present out side the nucleus.

All these three subatomic particles construct an atom. A neutral atom have equal number of proton and electron. In other words we can say that negative and positive charges are equal in magnitude and cancel the each other. For example, if neutral atom has 6 protons than it must have 6 electrons. The sum of neutrons and protons is the mass number of an atom while the number of protons are number of electrons is the atomic number of an atom.

In given problem we are given with 2 neutrons of helium. We know that the atomic number of He is 2. Thus Mass number of He is,

Number of neutrons + number of proton

2 + 2 = 4

Thus, option B is correct.
