Question

When carbon reacts with oxygen it forms carbon monoxide due to less oxygen. Find the law of conservation of mass and constant proportion is obeyed? any one plz answer to this question

Answer 1

Answer:

Carbon and oxygen combine to form two oxides, carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide in which the ratio of the weights of carbon and oxygen is respectively 12 : 16 and 12 : 32.

Answer 2

Explanation:

yes,it obeys the law of conservation of mass

because,

c+o=co

mass of c=12

mass of oxygen=16

sum=28

mass of co is 28

both sides of the equation the mass is equal

the reactants before the reaction and the products after the reaction should have same mass.

then it obeys law of conservation of mass

so,co obeys law of conservation of mass

hope it helps you

here co means carbon monoxide
