0.945 g of a 2.50 g sample of an organic compound is carbon. What is the percentage of carbon in this compound?
Added by Julia V.
Step 1
This is done by dividing the mass of carbon by the total mass of the compound. So, 0.945 g (carbon) ÷ 2.50 g (total) = 0.378 To convert this proportion to a percentage, we multiply by 100. So, 0.378 x 100 = 37.8% Show more…
