The chemical name for molecular formula C3H8 is propane. Propane has a weight of 44.10 grams per mole. Carbon (C) has a weight of 12.01 grams per mole. 1 mole of propane contains 3 moles of carbon. Therefore 81.70 percent by mass of propane is C.

∙ 13y agoTaking the (approximate) values of the molar masses of carbon (~12g) and hydrogen (~1g):
Methane (CH4) = 12*1 + 1*4 = 16g
So the total mass of carbon in methane is a simple ratio, you could call it the contribution in mass of carbon in methane:
%C = (12/16)*100 = 75%

∙ 12y agoMrCH4 = 16 grams/mole (The Molecular Mass of Methane)
16 grams/mole = ArC + ArH (to find the relative atomic masses of each)
= 12g + 4g
Therefore:
(12g/16g) x 100 = 75 %the relative Atomic Mass of Carbon / Total mass of MethaneSo 75 % of Methane is Carbon

What is the percent by mass of carbon in 44 g of carbon dioxide?
27.3
What is the percent by mass of carbon in 44g of carbon dioxide?
carbon dioxide contains about 27.27% carbon.
If 100.0g C3H8 is burned completely how many grams CO2 would be produced if the only source of carbon is C3H8?
The reaction isC3H8 + 5O2 ----> 3CO2 + 4H2O100g of propane is approx 2.27 moles.From the equation above, we see that the ratio of C3H8 to CO2 is 1:3, therefore the number of moles of CO2 which form is approx 6.82.This relates to a mass of 300g of CO2
Where is carbon stored in the oceans?
Carbon cannot be stored in a specific area of the ocean, but the mass percent is 0.0028%
Which elements are in c3h8?
Propane is a compound.
What is the percent composition by mass of 1.2 moles of carbon and 3.2 moles of hydrogen?
If you think to propane (C3H8): carbon - 81,7 % and hydrogen - 17,3 %.
What is heavier carbon dioxiode or propane?
Carbon dioxide is CO2 and has a molar mass of 44g whereas propane is C3H8 and has a molar mass of 44g as well. Therefore, both are of equal mass

If 100.0g C3H8 is burned completely how many grams CO2 would be produced if the only source of carbon is C3H8?
The reaction isC3H8 + 5O2 ----> 3CO2 + 4H2O100g of propane is approx 2.27 moles.From the equation above, we see that the ratio of C3H8 to CO2 is 1:3, therefore the number of moles of CO2 which form is approx 6.82.This relates to a mass of 300g of CO2
What is the percent of carbon in carbon dioxide?
In terms of proportion of molecules that are carbon, 33% (formula: CO2 which means that there are 2 oxygens and 1 carbon). If you mean in terms of mass, then carbon is 27.27% of the molecule (Two oxygens at a molecular mass of 16 each, and one carbon at a molecular mass of 12) by mass.
