mass of Ca = 0.68 g

mass of Cl=1.222 g

total mass = 1.912 g

mass percent of Ca = mass of Ca*100 / total mass

                                     = 0.69*100/1.912

                                     =36.09 %

mass percent of Cl =100 - mass percent of Ca

                                     = 100 - 36.09

                                      =63.91 %
