Calculate the percentage of each element in calcium carbonate (atomic mass: \(C=12\), \(O=16\), \(Ca=40\)).
Given data:
Atomic masses:
\(C=12\), \(O=16\), \(Ca=40\)
Formula:
The formula to find the percentage of an element is
\(\frac{\text{X}}{\text{Y}}\times100\)
Where,
X \(=\)
Y \(=\)
Solution:
Molecular mass of \(CaCO_3\) \(=\)
% of \(Ca\) in \(CaCO_3\) \(=\)
% of \(C\) in \(CaCO_3\) \(=\)
% of \(O\) in \(CaCO_3\) \(=\)
