Calculate the percent composition of carbon in
Calculate the percent composition of carbon in \( C_{6} H_{12} O_{6} \)
- A. \( 50 \% \)
- B. \( 40 \% \)
- C. \( 35.3 \% \)
- D. 22.1\%
Step-by-step solution
Molar mass of C6H12O6 = 180 g/mol (using atomic masses: C=12, H=1, O=16). Mass of carbon = 6*12 = 72 g. Percent C = (72/180)*100% = 40%.
