Calculate the composition of Carbon in Molar mass is 44.01

Calculate the \( \% \) composition of Carbon in \( C O_{2} . \) Molar mass is 44.01

  • A. \( 40 \% \)
  • B. 67\%
  • C. 30\%
  • D. 27\%

Step-by-step solution

Percent composition of carbon in CO2 is calculated as (mass of C / molar mass of CO2) × 100 = (12.01 / 44.01) × 100 ≈ 27.28%, which rounds to 27%.
