  1. A \(71.3\)
  2. B \(51.3\)
  3. C \(61.3\)
  4. D \(48.3\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(61.3\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Molecular Formula of 'z': \(C_7H_5O_3\) Molar Mass: \(M = 7(12) + 5(1) + 3(16) = 84 + 5 + 48 = 137 \text{ u}\) Mass of Carbon: \(C_{mass} = 7(12) = 84 \text{ u}\) Percentage of Carbon: \(\%C = \frac{84}{137} \times 100 = 61.313...\% \approx 61.3\%\)
