In each molecule of carbon tetrachloride, the mass percent of carbon and chlorine respectively are
Options
- A76.86 and 23.14
- B7.84 and 92.80
- C23.14 and 76.86
- D78.41 and 9.25
Correct answer
B. 7.84 and 92.80
Step-by-step solution
Mass percentage of a component = Mass of a component Total mass 100 In a molecular of CCl ₄ (carbon tetrachloride), =1 C +4 Cl atoms are present. Atomic mass of C =12.01, Cl =35.5 Molecular mass of CCl ₄=154 Mass % of C = 12.01 154 100=7.79 Mass % of Cl = 4(35.5) 154 100 = 142 154 100=92.7 So, mass % of C and Cl is approximately equal to 7.84 and 92.80 respectively.
