    22.9 moles (Option 5)

    Explanation:

    A substance is 35.7% carbon by mass, means that in 100 g of substance, 35.7 g are C.

    The rule of three will be:

    100 g of substance ___ have __ 35.7 g of C

    769 g of substance ___ have ___ (769. 35.7) / 100 = 274.5 g of C

    1 mol of C = 12 g/m

    Mass / Molar mass = Moles

    274.5 g / 12g/m = 22.9 moles
