Question

How many grams of carbon are in 550.0 grams of C4O3H10?

Answer 1

Explanation:

106 gm c4o3h10= 48gm carbon

550 gm c4o3h10=249 gm carbon...

Answer 2

249.05 grams

Explanation:

Given we have a compound with a certain quantity. We are asked to find the number of grams of an individual atom in it.

The given compound is,

$C_{4} O_{3} H_{10}$

The molar mass of this compound would be,

$MM=4*12+3*16+1*10\\\\MM=106$

So for 106 grams of the compound we have 48 grams of carbon from the abow relation,

We are supposed to find the amount of carbon for 550 grams of the compound,

$m=\frac{550}{106}*48\\ \\m=249.05grams$

Hence the amount of carbon in the given compound is 249.05 grams.
