Jan 12, 2017

85.62%

Explanation:

The molar mass of $C 6 H 12$ $C6H12$ (cyclohexane) is $84.16 \frac{g}{m o l}$ $84.16 g/(mol)$

$C$ $C$ (carbon) has molar mass $12.01$ $12.01$ and has $6$ $6$ atoms in cyclohexane.

$12.01 \cdot 6 = 72.06$ $12.01*6=72.06$

$\frac{72.06}{84.16} = 0.856226$ $72.06/84.16=0.856226$

So, Carbon has $85.62 %$ $85.62%$ of $C 6 H 12$ $C6H12$

In $50 g$ $50 g$ of cyclohexane, there is $42.81 g$ $42.81g$ of Carbon.
