It would seem that because calcium and oxygen are in equal molar ratio for this compound that it would be 50 percent. But that is incorrect, because they each have differing molar masses. Oxygen has a molar mass of 16.000 and calcium has a molar mass of 40.078. So calcium is 40.078/56.078, which is 71.47 percent.
