MCQ
Cortisone is a molecular substance containing $21$ atoms of carbon per molecule. The mass percentage of carbon in cortisone is $69.98\%.$ It's molar mass is :
  • A
    $176.5$
  • B
    $252.2$
  • C
    $287.6$
  • $360.1$

Answer

Correct option: D.
$360.1$
Let molar mass be $= M$
Mass of $21$ carbon atoms $= 252$
$\%$ of carbon $=\frac{252\times100}{\text{M}}=69.98$
but $\%$ of carbon $= 69.98 \%$
$\therefore M = 360.1$
