Calculate the percentage composition of carbon elements in Na2CO3.
Step 1: Molecular mass of Sodium carbonate Na2CO3 =2x23u+1x12u+3x16u=106u
Step 2: Percentage composition of carbon = MasscontributedbythecarbonTotalmolecularmassofsodiumcarbonate×100=12u106u×100=11.32%
Hence, the percentage composition of carbon in Na2CO3 is 11.32%.
