40 g of calcium was extracted from 56 g of calcium oxide
(Atomic mass of Ca= 40, O=16)
i) What mass of oxygen is there in 56 g of calcium oxide?
ii) How many moles of oxygen atoms are there in this?
iii) How many moles of calcium atoms are there in 40 g of calcium?
iv) What mass of calcium will be obtained from 1000 g of calcium oxide?
(i) 16 grams of O
(ii) 1 mole of oxygen atoms
(iii) 1 mole
(iv) 714.38 grams.
56 grams of CaO gives 40 grams of Ca. 1000 grams of CaO gives (1000x40)/56 = 714.28 grams of calcium
Explanation –
CaO
Ca + O
56 40 16
1 mole of any compound (or gas in molecular form) contains the mass equal to its gram molecular mass. 1 mole of any element contains the mass equal to its gram atomic mass. So,
1 mole of CaO = 40 + 16 = 56 grams
1 mole of Ca = 40 grams
1 mole of oxygen atoms = 16 grams
1 mole of calcium oxide dissociates to form 1 mole of Ca and 1 mole of O atoms.
