Answer:
A. 1.54 mole.
B. 55.39g of carbon
Explanation:
A. Determination of the number of mole in 67.7g of C3H8.
Mass of C3H8 = 67.7g
Molar mass of C3H8 = (3x12) + (8x1) = 44g/mol
Number of mole of C3H8 =..?
Number of mole = Mass/Molar Mass
Number of mole of C3H8 = 67.7/44
Number of mole of C3H8 = 1.54 mole
B. Determination of the mass of carbon in the compound.
This is illustrated below:
The mass of C in compound can be obtained as follow:
=> 3C/C3H8 x 67. 7
=> 3x12 / 44 x 67.7
=> 36/44 x 67.7
=> 55.39g
Therefore, 55.39g of carbon is present in the compound.
