What is the mass percentage of carbon in urea? (mol. mass of urea \(=60 \mathrm{~g} \mathrm{~mol}^{-1}\) )

  1. A \(28 \cdot 0 \%\)
  2. B \(20 \cdot 0 \%\)
  3. C \(26.67 \%\)
  4. D \(46.67 \%\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(20 \cdot 0 \%\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The molecular formula of Urea is:

We know,
Mass percentage of carbon in urea \(=\frac{\text { Molar mass of carbon }}{\text { molar mass of urea }} \times 100\)
Thus, the molar mass of Ureas \(=4 \times 1+12+2 \times 14+16=60\)
\(\therefore\) Mass percentage of Carbon in Ureas \(=\frac{12}{60} \times 100=20 \%\)
Hence, option A is correct.
