What is the mass percentage of C in CH₃CH₂OH? Provide an answer to two decimal places.

Sagot :

Answer:

here's your answer

Explanation:

Molar mass of CH3CH2OH = 46.06844 g/mol

This compound is also known as Ethanol.

Convert grams CH3CH2OH to moles  or  moles CH3CH2OH to grams

Molecular weight calculation:

12.0107 + 1.00794*3 + 12.0107 + 1.00794*2 + 15.9994 + 1.00794

Percent composition by element  

Hydrogen H 1.00794 6 13.128%

Carbon C 12.0107 2 52.143%

Oxygen O 15.9994 1 34.730%

The mass percentage of C in CH₃CH₂OH is 52.14% (to two decimal places)

To calculate the mass percentage of C (Carbon) in CH₃CH₂OH (Ethanol),

First, we will determine the mass of CH₃CH₂OH

Molar mass of CH₃CH₂OH = 46.07 g/mol

Mass of C = 12.01 g/mol

Now, for the mass percentage of C in CH₃CH₂OH,

We will determine the ratio of the total mass of C to the mass of CH₃CH₂OH, and then multiply by 100%

Since we have 2C in CH₃CH₂OH

Then, total mass of C in CH₃CH₂OH = 2 × 12.01 g/mol = 24.02 g/mol

That is,

Mass percentage of C in CH₃CH₂OH = [tex]\frac{24.02}{46.07} \times 100\%[/tex]

Mass percentage of C in CH₃CH₂OH = 0.5213805 ×100%

Mass percentage of C in CH₃CH₂OH = 52.13805%

Mass percentage of C in CH₃CH₂OH ≅ 52.14%

Hence, the mass percentage of C in CH₃CH₂OH is 52.14% (to two decimal places)
