Answer:
29.41% of Calcium and 47.04% of Oxygen
Explanation:
The percent composition of an atom in a molecule is defined as 100 times the ratio between the mass of the atom and the mass of the molecule.
The mass of the molecule of the problem (Ore) is 46.28g. That means the percent composition of Calcium is:
13.61g / 46.28g * 100 = 29.41% of Calcium
And percent composition of Oxygen is:
21.77g / 46.28g * 100 = 47.04% of Oxygen
Answer:
Carbon is made up of one type of atom.

Answer:
D) He did not multiply the chlorine and oxygen atoms by the coefficient 4.
Explanation:
The coefficient 4 at the beginning of the chemical formula indicates that there are four Ca(ClO3)2 molecules. Think of this as Ca(ClO3)2 × 4. This means that he had to multiply the number of atoms for each element by 4 as well, so he should've ended up with 4 total calcium atoms (which is correct), 8 total chlorine atoms, and and 24 total oxygen atoms. He did not get all these answers because he didn't multiply the chlorine and oxygen atoms by the coefficient 4.
