Calculate the mass per cent of calcium, ...

Calculate the mass per cent of calcium, phosphorus and oxygen in calcium phosphate `Ca_(3)(PO_(4))_(2)`.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Molar mass of `Ca_(3)(PO_(4))_(2)=3xx40+(31+64)xx2=120+190=310" g mol"^(-1)`
Ca present = 120 g. P present `=2xx31=62g, "O present "=2xx64=128g`
`%" of Ca"=(120)/(310)xx100=38.71%`
`%" of P"=(62)/(310)xx100=20.0%`
`%" of (O)=(128)/(310)xx100=41.29%.`
