1.4g of calcium oxide obtained by heating limestone was found to contain 0.4g of oxygen. another sample of 3.5g of calcium oxide obtained by direct combination of calcium and oxygen was found to contain 2.5g of calcium. show that data are in accordance with the law of definite proportion

Solution

1.4 gm of CaO⟶n0.4 gm of Oxygen

1.0 gm of O2⟶3.5 gm of Ca

According to the law of definite proportions

n/m=y/x

⇒1.4/0.4=3.5.

⇒3.5=3.5

explanation:

2b2t

ca has a crystalline lattice with positive ions (since it is a metal, metals are positively charged) and electrons flow freely in its structure since the ca atoms have a large nuclear radius so the electrons are not tightly held, therefore the electrons can flow freely since they are not being highly attracted by the nucleus. moreover, one of the properties of metals are that they are conductors of electricity, thus proving ca is the element.
