Best Answer

The total mass of CaSO4 is 136.139 g/mol.

- The mass of Ca is 40.078, so % comp is 40.078/136.139 x 100 = 29.4%

- The mass of S is 32.065 so % comp is 23.56%, using the method above

- The mass of O is 15.999, but because there are four O atoms in the compound, the % comp will be (15.999 x 4) / 136.139 x 100 = 47.0%

Ca=40, Ba=80, so CaBr2 = 40+80+80=200. Calcium's part is 40/200=20%, bromine's part is 160/200=80%.
