Sagot :

Answer:

A

Explanation:

RMM of ca(c2h302)2=158

%Ca= 40/158×100=25.3

%C=48/158×100=30.3

%H=6/158×100=3.7

%O=64/158×100=40.5

Answer:

a) 25.3% Ca, 30.4% C, 3.8% H, 40.5% O

Explanation:

Molar mass of Ca(C₂H₃O₂)₂  = 158.160 g/mol

percent composition:

Ca = (40 /158.160 ) × 100

Ca = 25.3%

C = (48 /158.160 ) × 100

C = 30.4%

H = (6 /158.160 ) × 100

H = 3.8%

O = (64 /158.160 ) × 100

O = 40.5%

40.5% + 3.8% + 30.4% + 25.3% = 100%

It means 1st option is correct.
