Question #77894

Four moles of carbon monoxide (CO) has 48 grams of carbon (C) and 64 grams of oxygen (O). What is the percent composition of carbon in carbon monoxide?

Expert's answer

Answer:
m (CO) = n*M, where n is the amount of substance, mole, M is the molar mass, g/mole
m (CO) = 4*28 = 112 g
% C = m (C)*100% / m (CO) = 48*100 % / 112 = 42.8 %
