Answer 2

The percent composition of carbon in acetic acid is 40.002%.

Explanation:

Acetic acid: CH3COOH

To determine the percent composition of carbon in acetic acid, divide the molar mass of acetic acid (60.052 g/mol) by the mass of carbon (2x12.011 g/mol) in one mole of acetic acid and multiply by 100.

2x12.011gmol60.052gmolx100=40.002%
