The mass $\%$ of carbon in $\mathrm{C}_{57} \mathrm{H}_{110} \mathrm{O}_6$ is

The mass $\%$ of carbon in $\mathrm{C}_{57} \mathrm{H}_{110} \mathrm{O}_6$ is
  1. 57.95
  2. 62.35
  3. $73.45^{\circ}$
  4. 76.85

Solution

Molecular mass of $ \begin{aligned} \mathrm{C}_{57} \mathrm{H}_{110} \mathrm{O}_6= & (12 \times 57)+(110 \times 1)+(6 \times 16) \\ =684+110+ & 96=890 \\ \text { Mass } \% \text { of } \mathrm{C} & =\frac{\text { Mass of } \mathrm{C}}{\text { Molecular mass of compound }} \times 100 \\ & =\frac{684}{890} \times 100=76.85 \% \end{aligned} $
