1, Calcium carbonate (CaCO3) contains 40% calcium, 12% carbon and 48% oxygen by mass. Knowing that
the law of constant composition holds good, calculate the mass of the constituent elements present in 2 g
of calcium carbonate.

Answer:

1. According to law of definite proportions, in a chemical substance, the elements are always present in definite proportions by mass.

Given data:

Percentage of Ca present in CaCO3 – 40%

Percentage of C present in CaCO3  - 12%

Percentage of O present in CaCO3  - 48%

This means 100g of calcium carbonate contains 40g of Ca, 12g of C and 48g of O.

Similarly, 2g of Calcium carbonate contains 40% calcium , 12% carbon and 48 % oxygen by mass.

Let us find the masses of Ca, C and O present in 2g of CaCO3.

Mass of Calcium present in 2g of CaCO3 = 40/100 X2 = 0.8g

Mass of Carbon present in 2g of CaCO3 = 12/100 X 2 = 0.24g

Mass of Oxygen present in 2g of CaCO3 = 48/12 X 2 = 0.96g.
