![]() Problem 3-127 |
Coke is an impure form of carbon
When you have 100 g of coke, you actually have 95 g of carbon.
The remaining 5 g are by-products which not react.
Therefore, if you need 333 g of carbon to perform a reaction, you need to work "backward" to find the mass of coke required:
333 g carbon × | 100 g coke | = 351 g coke |
95 g carbon |
Note:
1 tonne (metric) = 1000 kg = 1×106g.
1 ton (imperial) = 2000 pounds
1 kg = 2.02046 pounds
