Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The increasing order of mass percentage of carbon in the compounds-caffeine, sucrose and ethanol is to be determined.

Concept introduction: Any element’s mass percentage in given substance is estimated by computing the ratio of that element’s mass to the compound’s mass. Mass percentage is an effective method for defining the compound’s composition. Mass percentage of a specific element in distinct compounds can be same or different.
