- A mixture was found to contain 1.05g of SiO2, 0.69 g of cellulose, and 1.82 g of calcium carbonate. What percentage of calcium carbonate is in the mixture? What percentage of Si is in themixture?arrow_forwardA mixture was found to contain 1.05g of SiO2, 0.69 g of cellulose, and 1.82 g of calcium carbonate. What percentage of calcium carbonate is in the mixture? What percentage of Si is in the mixture?arrow_forwardIn 1934, Edward A. Doisy of Washington University extracted 3000 lb of hog ovaries to isolate a few milligrams of pure estradiol, a potent female hormone. Doisy burned 5.00 mg of this precious sample in oxygen and found that 14.54 mg of CO2 and 3.97 mg of H2O were generated.(a) Determine the empirical formula of estradiol.(b) The molecular weight of estradiol was later determined to be 272.
