Q. What percentage of oxygen is present in the compound CaCO3 3Ca3(PO4)2?
(A) 23.3% (B) 45.36% (C) 41.94 % (D) 17.08%
Dear Student
The atomic mass of Ca = 40
O = 16
P = 30
C = 12
So,
The total mass of the given compound is 1030 g
Now the total number of atoms of oxygen in the given compound is 27
So the total mass of oxygen in the given compound will be = 27 x 16 = 432
So, the correct option is (C)
