Question

What is the percent of carbon in 50.0 g of cyclohexane?

Answer 1

85.62%

Explanation:

The molar mass of `C6H12` (cyclohexane) is `84.16 g/(mol)`

`C` (carbon) has molar mass `12.01` and has `6` atoms in cyclohexane.

`12.01*6=72.06`

`72.06/84.16=0.856226`

So, Carbon has `85.62%` of `C6H12`

In `50 g` of cyclohexane, there is `42.81g` of Carbon.
