What is the percent by mass of carbon in acetone c3h6o

Well, the molar mass of acetone would be

3(12.011)+6(1.008)+15.999 , which cleans up to be 58.08 grams.

out of this total, 3(12.011), or 36.033 grams are carbon

So, to find the percent, you do part over whole

36.033/58.08, which equals 0.6204 with significant figures

multiply that by 100 to get 62.04%

Hope that helps!

62.07% is the percent by mass of carbon in acetone.

Explanation:

Percentage of an element in a compound:

Molar mass of acetone =58 g/mol

Number of carbon atom in acetone = 3

Atomic mass of carbon = 12 g/mol

Percentage of carbon in acetone:

answer: the rate of diffusion increases with increase in temperature.

increase in temperature, increases the molecular/particles speed (kinetic energy. diffusion means movement of particles through the material.

generally, the heavier the particle the more it interacts with the environment and more the temperature matters. so higher temperature results in higher diffusion.
