What is the percent composition of carbon in the compound sucrose?

∙ 13y ago
Sucrose: C12H22O11
Formula Weight: 342.3
Carbon: 12 * 12.01 g/mol = 144.12
144.12/342.3 = 42.10% Carbon
You can always check the other elements to double check:
Hydrogen: 22*1 = 22
22/342.3 = 6.4% Hydrogen
Oxygen: 11*16.01 = 176.11
176.11/342.3 = 51.44% Oxygen

∙ 13y ago-first calculate the relative molecular mass (RMM) of glucose
12(6)+1(12)+16(6)= 180
-then the RMM of 6 molecules of carbon
12x6=72
- calculate the percentage
72/180= 0.4 and multiply by 100 to get 40%

∙ 9y agoGlucose has a molar mass of 180g/mol, and we arrive at this figure by adding up the atomic masses of all its constituent atoms. Carbon accounts for 72 of these 180g (12x6), so 72/180 = 0.4, which is 40%.

What is the composition of sucrose?
Fructose and glucose combined. It is refined from sugarcane and sugar beets.
What is a compound you can drink?
An example of a compound drink is alcohol because it is made of carbon and hydroxyl group products which include glucose and sucrose.
What is the atomic number for sucrose?
Sucrose is a compound, not an element and so does not have an atomic number. It is composed of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen which have the atomic numbers 6, 1, and 8 respectively.
Is sugar and water a solution compound or heterogeneous mixture?
sucrose is a compound and every pure compound is always homogeneous.
How many of the sugar sucrose are needed to produce 12 moles of solid carbon?
The answer is 3,424 mol sucrose.
What is the composition of sucrose?
Fructose and glucose combined. It is refined from sugarcane and sugar beets.
What is the percent composition of a compound with the empirical formula CO2?
One atom of carbon, two of oxygen.
Is sucrose a compound or a element?
Sucrose is not an element itself, but it is made up of a mixture of elements. Sucrose is actually a compound and is, what we know, table sugar.
What elements are found in the compound sucrose?
Carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen.
How do you know that sucrose contains carbon?
The chemical composition is determined by chemical analysis.
Does carbon and sucrose share the same properties?
Carbon is an element. Sucrose, a sugar, is a compound ( a combination of elements ). Sucrose is composed of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen. Pure carbon is found in two forms, graphite (pencil lead) and diamond. Carbon and sucrose are very different in properties except for the fact that both can be burned in the presence of oxygen to yield CO2 (and water in the case of sucrose).
What is the percent composition of carbon in C7H16?
84%

Sucrose is a compound, not an element and so does not have an atomic number. It is composed of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen which have the atomic numbers 6, 1, and 8 respectively.
What is the percent composition of Carbon in heptane C7H16 12 percent 68 percent 19 percent or 84 percent?
84%
What percent of carbon compound in the ocean?
Approx. 0,0028 % carbon in the ocean water.
What is the percent composition of acetate?
The percent composition by element of Ca(C2H3O2)2 is calcium 25.339%, hydrogen 3.824%, carbon 30.375%, and oxygen 40.462%.
