Explanation:

The question is incomplete; as the mixtures are not given.

However, I'll give a general explanation on how to go about it and I'll also give an example.

The percentage of a component in a mixture is calculated as:

[tex]\%C_E = \frac{E}{T} * 100\%[/tex]

Where

E = Amount of element/component

T = Amount of all elements/components

Take for instance:

In [tex](Ca(OH)_2)[/tex]

The amount of all elements is: (i.e formula mass of [tex](Ca(OH)_2)[/tex])

[tex]T = 1 * Ca + 2 * H + 2 * O[/tex]

[tex]T = 1 * 40 + 2 * 1 + 2 * 16[/tex]

[tex]T = 74[/tex]

The amount of calcium is: (i.e formula mass of calcium)

[tex]E = 1 * Ca[/tex]

[tex]E = 1 * 40[/tex]

[tex]E = 40[/tex]

So, the percentage component of calcium is:

[tex]\%C_E = \frac{E}{T} * 100\%[/tex]

[tex]\%C_E = \frac{40}{74} * 100\%[/tex]

[tex]\%C_E = \frac{4000}{74}\%[/tex]

[tex]\%C_E = 54.05\%[/tex]

The amount of hydrogen is:

[tex]E = 2 * H[/tex]

[tex]E = 2 * 1[/tex]

[tex]E = 2[/tex]

So, the percentage component of hydrogen is:

[tex]\%C_E = \frac{E}{T} * 100\%[/tex]

[tex]\%C_E = \frac{2}{74} * 100\%[/tex]

[tex]\%C_E = \frac{200}{74}\%[/tex]

[tex]\%C_E = 2.70\%[/tex]

Similarly, for oxygen:

The amount of oxygen is:

[tex]E = 2 * O[/tex]

[tex]E = 2 * 16[/tex]

[tex]E = 32[/tex]

So, the percentage component of oxygen is:

[tex]\%C_E = \frac{E}{T} * 100\%[/tex]

[tex]\%C_E = \frac{32}{74} * 100\%[/tex]

[tex]\%C_E = \frac{3200}{74}\%[/tex]

[tex]\%C_E = 43.24\%[/tex]
