Question

As per the law of definite proportion, carbon and oxygen combine in the ratio of 3:8 to produce CO2. Compute the mass of oxygen gas that would be required to react completely with 15 g of carbon. If you send the wrong answer I will report you​

Answer 1

Explanation:

$\fcolorbox{blue}{azure}{ANSWER}$

Dear Student,

It is given that,

C + O2 ---> CO2

in carbon dioxide, the ratio of mass of carbon to oxygen is 3 : 8.

Let x grams be the mass of the oxygen that would be required to react completely with 6 grams of carbon. According to the law of constant proportion,

(6/x) = (3/8)

=> x = 16 g

Therefore, 16g of oxygen is required to completely react with 6 gram of carbon.

Since you now know the reaction for the formation of CO2, work on it yourself and let us know if you face any issues.

Thanks,

Answer 2

Answer:

in carbon dioxide, the ratio of mass of carbon to oxygen is 3 : 8. Therefore, 16g of oxygen is required to completely react with 6 gram of carbon.

hope it helps you
