Question

g What is the mass ratio for CaCl2 if a sample analyzed to be 36.1 grams calcium and 63.9 grams chlorine

Answer 1

`0.361Ca\\\\ 0.639Cl`

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

In this case, since the mass ratio here can be computed as:

`(mass\ Ca)/(mass\ CaCl_2) \\\\(mass\ Cl)/(mass\ CaCl_2)`

For each element forming the compound we obtain:

`(36.1g)/(63.9g+36.1g) = 0.361Ca\\\\(63.9g)/(63.9g+36.1g) = 0.639Cl`

Best regards!
