Question

The mass in grams of C in 275 g of C3H6

Answer 1

Mass of carbon = 236.5 g

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data:

Mass of C₃H₆ = 275 g

Mass of C = ?

Solution:

Formula:

Mass of carbon = molar mass of carbon/ molar mass of compound × mass of compound

Molar mass of carbon = 12 g/mol

Molar mass of compound = 42 g/mol

Mass of carbon = 36 g/mol / 42 g/mol × 275 g

Mass of carbon = 0.86 × 275 g

Mass of carbon = 236.5 g
