Calculate the percent composition of Ca3P2

Ca - 66%, P - 34%

Explanation:

So, this is the formula we can use to find the amount of each element:

Element count * Atomic mass = Mass

Plug in our elements for this:

Ca - 3*40.078=120.234

P - 2*30.973=61.946

Now, to find the percentage of mass, we must find total mass, and divide the two elements mass count by this total mass:

120.234+61.946=182.18

Now divide each element mass by the total mass:

Ca - 120.234/182.18=0.6599(Round to 0.65)

P - 61.946/182.18=0.34002(Round to 0.34)

Then multiply both numbers by 100 to get the percentage:

Ca - 65%

P - 34%

So these our your two answer!
