<span>Step 1 is to determine the mass of each part
Mass of Ca is 40.08 g
Mass of C is 12.01 g
Mass of O is 16.00 x 3 = 48.00 g
Step 2 is to determine the total mass of the compound
Total mass of CaCO3 is 40.08 + 12.01 + 48.00 = 100.09 g
Step 3 is to determine the % of each part using the following formula:
Mass of part / total mass x 100 =
40.08 / 100.09 x 100 = 40.04 % Ca
12.01 / 100.09 x 100 = 12.00 % C
48.00 / 100.09 x 100 = 47.96 % O
Step 4 is to double check by adding all percentages. If they equal 100, then I probably did it right. :)

+12.00

The pairs are:
K, Kr - Same period
Be, Mg - Same group
Ni, Tc - Both are transition metals
B, Ge - Both are metaloids
Al, Pb - Both form inert oxides
Mostly in my opinion I think it’s the secound one
He could dry them with a towel.
