The answer is 8. Hope this helps.
Answer:
The answer to your question is: 17.26% of carbon
Explanation:
Data
CxHy = 0.2121 g
BaCO₃ = 0.6006 g
Molecular mass BaCO₃ = 137 + 12 + 48 = 197 g
Reaction
CO₂ + Ba(OH)₂ ⇒ BaCO₃ + H₂O
Process
1.- Find the amount of carbon in BaCO₃
197 g of BaCO₃ --------------- 12 g of Carbon
0.6006 g ---------------- x
x = (0.6006 x 12) / 197
x = 0.0366 g of carbon
2.- Calculate the percentage of carbon in the organic compound
0.2121 g of organic compound --------------- 100%
0.0366g -------------- x
x = (0.0366 x 100) / 0.2121
x = 17.26%
I think the answer is C. (Increasing the number of variables in the experiment)
