Question

A scientist collected a sample of
CO
2
gas. The total mass of carbon in the sample is 36 g. What is the mass of oxygen in the sample?

Answer 1

Answer:

Total mass of CO2 will be 44g

C = 12 grams

O = 16X2 = 32

12+32=44 g

Now carbon is alone of 36gram...

Then oxygen would be 3x32=96 g
