Interpretation:
The mass percent of each type of atom present has to be determined. The empirical formula of the material has to be determined.
Concept Introduction:
Mass percentage:
It represents the concentration of an element in a compound or a mixture. Mathematically, it can be represented as follows,
Mass percentage
Where,
Answer to Problem 88QRT
The mass percent of each type of atom present are
Explanation of Solution
Given that, typical cement contains
