How much calcium is present in 0.1g of CaCO₃?

How much calcium is present in 0.1g of CaCO₃?

Explanation

The molar mass of CaCO₃ is approximately 100 g/mol.

The molar mass of calcium (Ca) in CaCO₃ is about 40 g/mol.

The proportion of calcium in CaCO₃ is  40/ 100 0.4

Therefore, in 0.1 g of CaCO₃, the amount of calcium is  0.1×0.4=0.04 g.
