If you could please show the full math so I know how to do it that would be great.
Two samples of calcium fluoride are decomposed into their constituent elements. The first sample produced 0.155g of calcium and 0.146g of fluorine. If the second sample produced 165mg of fluorine, how many g of calcium were formed?
In the two samples of calcium fluoride, the ratio of the mass of calcium to the mass of fluorine will be same.
In the first sample, the ratio of the mass of calcium to the mass of fluorine is
Let w g of calcium were formed from second sample. 165 mg of fluorine corresponds to 0.165 g of fluorine.
Hence, 0.175 g of calcium were formed from decomposition of second sample.
