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\%

Two 0.75 Amp loads are connected in parallel with a 2500 Milliamperehour Ni-Cd battery. Approximately how long can the battery p
nikdorinn [45]

Explanation:

It is given that two loads have 0.75 Ampere current each. And, they contain 2500 milli ampere per hour Ni-Cd battery.

As both the loads are connected in parallel. Hence, total current will be calculated as follows.

               I = I_{1} + I_{2}

                 = 0.75 A + 0.75 A

                 = 1.5 A

                 = 1.5 A \times \frac{1000 mA}{1 A}

                 = 1500 mA

Relation between time and capacity of battery is as follows.

             Capacity = Current × time (in hour)

therefore,        time = \frac{Capacity}{Current}

                                = \frac{2500 mA. h}{1500 A}

                                = 1.667 hr

Thus, we can conclude that the battery provide power to the load up to 1.667 hours.

How do you calculate the number of valence electrons in an atom?
gavmur [86]
To find<span> the </span>valence electrons in an atom<span>, identify what group the element is in. An element in group 1A has 1 </span>valence electron<span>. For example, Li is in group 1A, so that means it has one </span>valence electron. If the element is in group 2A, then it has two valence electrons<span>.</span>

What volume of a 3.0 M stock solution of H2SO4 is needed to prepare 2.8 L of a 1.6 M H2SO4 solution?
Georgia [21]
Use M1V1 = M2V2 to solve
3(V1) = 2.8 * 1.6
3(V1) = 4.48
V1 = 1.493 L of stock solution
