Problem 99P

When carbon-containing compounds are burned in a limited amount of air, some CO(g) as well as CO2(g) is produced. A gaseous product mixture is 35.0 mass % CO and 65.0 mass % CO2. What is the mass % C in the mixture?

ANSWER:

Solution 99P:

Here, we are going to calculate the mass % of C in the mixture.

Step 1:

Given that,

The mass % of CO =35.0% =35.0 g in 100 g mixture

The mass % of CO2 = 65% =65 g in 100 g mixture

Therefore,

The mass of C from CO =(35.0 g CO)
