Given percent by mass
« on: October 28, 2014, 12:07:09 PM »
Hi all, new here and in need of help on studying some questions.

A certain type of oxygenated fuel blend contains 60% carbon, 10% hydrogen, and 30%
oxygen by mass.

How do I go about finding what the fuel blend is given the above?

Thanks,
Jcee

You choose one mass (which one is the easiest one?) and calculate the moles of the elements. Take this in relation to each of them.
