As we have to calculate the percentage of "Ca" in CaCO3. for that we have the formula for finding out the percentage, which is:

Percentage = Atomic Mass in Gram/Molecular Mass x 100.

Putting values.. Percent = 40/100 x 100.

= 40% answer.

Please, I need an answer.

Analysis of a carefully purified sample give C = 40%, H = 50%, O = 54%. The mole mass was found to be 180 determine.

Here Molecular weight of Ca = 40.
Also Molecular weight of CaCO3 = 40 + 12 +1 6*3 = 100.
Percentage of CA in CaCO3 = 40/100= 40%.

The molecular weight of CaCO3 = 100.
The atomic weight of ca =40,
Percentage of ca in caco3 = (40÷100) * 100,
=40.

Let
Mw of caco3 = 100,
Awof ca = 40,
Percentageof ca incaco3 = 40%100 * 100.

mw of ca = 40.
Then caco3 = 100.
So 40/100 = 40%.

Kamesh said:   1 decade ago
Ca mw=40
CaCO3 mw=100
Therefore 40/100=40%
