Select the correct order of the steps for finding the mass percent of chlorine in methyl chloroform (C2H3Cl3). Question 10 options:

Find the molar mass of methyl chloroform using this formula: molar mass of methyl chloroform = mass of carbon in one mole of methyl chloroform + mass of hydrogen in one mole of methyl chloroform + mass of chlorine in one mole of methyl chloroform.

molar mass of methyl chloroform

24.02 g + 3.024 g + 106.35 g

= 133.394 g/mol

Find the mass percent of chlorine using this formula: mass percent of chlorine = (mass of chlorine in 1 mol methyl chloroform / molar mass of methyl chloroform) × 100.

mass percent of chlorine =

formula

Find the mass of each element in one mole of methyl chloroform using this formula: mass of the element in one mole of methyl chloroform = (molar mass of the element) · (number of atoms of the element present in methyl chloroform).

mass of each element in one mole of methyl chloroform

C = 12.01 · 2 = 24.02 g

H = 1.0079 · 3 = 3.024 g

Cl = 35.45 · 3 = 106.35 g
