Answer:


0.361Ca\\\\ 0.639Cl

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

In this case, since the mass ratio here can be computed as:


(mass\ Ca)/(mass\ CaCl_2) \\\\(mass\ Cl)/(mass\ CaCl_2)

For each element forming the compound we obtain:


(36.1g)/(63.9g+36.1g) = 0.361Ca\\\\(63.9g)/(63.9g+36.1g) = 0.639Cl

Best regards!
