What is the mass per cent of oxygen in ethanol?
A
52.14%
B
13.13%
C
16%
D
34.78%
Correct Answer
Option D
Detailed Explanation
The molecular formula of ethanol is C₂H₅OH. The molar mass of ethanol is 46 g/mol, and the mass of oxygen is 16 g/mol. Therefore, the mass percent of oxygen is (16/46) × 100 = 34.78%.
