Question

Calculate the percentage of Oxygen in CH3COOH

Answer 1

Molar mass of CH3COOH = 60.05196 g/mol

This compound is also known as Acetic Acid.

This compound is also known as Acetic Acid.Convert grams CH3COOH to moles or moles CH3COOH to grams

Molecular weight calculation:

→ 12.0107 + 1.00794(3) + 12.0107 + 15.9994 + 15.9994 + 1.00794

HENCE ,

★ ATOMIC MASS = 15.9994 ★

★ # OF ATOMS = 2 ★

★ MASS % = 53.285% ★

Answer 2

Answer:

53•28515%

Explanation:

Molar mass of CH3COOH=60•05196 g/mol

To determine the %composition of oxygen in Acetic acid, divide the molar of Acetic acid

(60•052g/mol)

by the mass of oxygen

(2×15•9994g/mol)

in one mole of Acetic acid and multiple by 100

=>

$\frac{2 \times 15.9994g \times mol}{60.052g \times mol \times 100}$

By solving it further you will get 53•28515% as answer
