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)
