(a)
Interpretation:
The mass of carbon monoxide produced from one gram of ethanol has to be calculated.
Concept Introduction:
The percentage composition of a compound is calculated by comparing the mass contributed by each element to the molar mass of the substance. The sum of the percentage composition of each element is equal to the percentage composition of the compound.
(b)
Interpretation:
The mass of carbon monoxide produced from one gram of toluene has to be calculated.
Concept Introduction:
Refer to part (a).
(c)
Interpretation:
The conclusion drawn from the emission of carbon monoxide from ethanol has to be stated.
Concept Introduction:
Refer to part (a).
