Which expression gives the mass percent of carbon in methanoic (formic) acid, hcooh? 12/29 x 10012/46 x 1002/46 x 10016/46 x 100

The expression that gives the mass percent of carbon in HCOOH, is 12/46 x 100

Explanation:

Mass of carbon = 12 g/m

Mass of formic acid = 46 g/m

You pick the element's mass, and you divide between, the total mass.

When you do x100,  you have the percent.

(Mass of carbon / Total mass) . 100

the ideal gas law equation is as follows

pv = nrt

where p - pressure

v - volume

n - number of moles

r - universal gas constant

t - temperature

so if the pressure, volume and temperature are already known

we are left with n and r

since r is the universal gas constant that has a known fixed value then r too is known

so we are left with 'n'

once we know temperature volume and pressure

we can find the number of moles of gas present using the ideal gas law equation
