Calculate the percent composition by mass of each element in LiClO2.

Given parameters:

  Chemical specie = LiClO₂

Unknown:

Percentage composition of each specie = ?

Solution:

The percentage composition involves knowing the percent of total mass of a compound is made up of each of the constituent elements or groups.

Formula mass of  LiClO₂;

              7 + 35.5 + 2(16) = 74.5g/mol

The percentage composition of each species are;

%Li  = x 100  = 9.4%

%Cl  =  = 47.7%

%O₂  =  = 43.0%

answer: e.   sour taste

explanation: acids are those substances which dissociates in water to give ions. as they dissociate to give ions, they act as electrolytes and thus are electrically conductive. acids are sour in taste. example: hcl

bases are those substances which dissociates in water to give ions or accepts ions. as they dissociate to give ions, they act as electrolytes and thus are electrically conductive. bases are bitter in taste. bases are slippery in nature.
