The percentage of C in CO = 42.9%
Further explanation
Given
CO compound
Required
Percentage of C
Solution
Proust :
Compounds are formed from elements with the same Mass Comparison so that compounds have a fixed composition of elements
Ar of C = 12 g/mol
MW of CO = 28 g/mol
%C :
[tex]\tt =\dfrac{Ar~C}{MW~CO}\times 100\%\\\\=\dfrac{12}{28}\times 100\%\\\\=42.9\%[/tex]
