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\%

When did oxygen first appear in earth's atmosphere??
ad-work [718]
<span> the atmosphere holds about 21 per cent oxygen. Over the Earth’s 4.6 billion year history, oxygen did not appear in the atmosphere until perhaps about 2.5 billion years ago. Since then, oxygen levels have fluctuated in tandem with global geological and biological events, such as mass extinctions.</span>

Write a balanced equation for the reaction of sulfuric acid (H,SO) and
Sonbull [250]

Answer:

Explanation:

Word equation:

sulfuric acid + ammonium hydroxide  →  ammonium sulfate + water

Chemical equation:

H₂SO₄ + NH₄OH → (NH₄)₂SO₄ + H₂O

Balanced chemical equation:

H₂SO₄ + 2NH₄OH → (NH₄)₂SO₄ + 2H₂O

The given reaction is the reaction of acid with base. When acid and base react salt and water are produced. In given reaction an acid sulfuric acid and base ammonium hydroxide react and form ammonium sulfate salt and water. The given reaction also follow the law of conservation of mass.

Steps to balance the equation:

Steps 1;

H₂SO₄ + NH₄OH → (NH₄)₂SO₄ + H₂O

H = 7                            H = 10

S = 1                             S = 1

O = 5                           O = 5

N = 1                            N = 2

Step 2:

H₂SO₄ + 2NH₄OH → (NH₄)₂SO₄ + H₂O

H = 12                            H = 10

S = 1                             S = 1

O = 6                           O = 5

N = 2                           N = 2

Step 3:

H₂SO₄ + 2NH₄OH → (NH₄)₂SO₄ + 2H₂O

H = 12                            H = 12

S = 1                               S = 1

O = 6                             O = 6

N = 2                             N = 2
