Question

calculate the percentage of carbon in CO. (At C=12 O=16) Write the percent correct to one decimal place. Give the explanation also(Dont do it Co2 its Co, Carbon monoxide and not carbon dioxide) ​

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

molecular mass of co = 12+16= 28

percentage of carbon in co = (mass of carbon / total mass)×100

                                              =(12/28)×100

                                              =0.428×100

                                              =42.8%
