Chapter 5 Problem 26P

Question

Two samples of carbon tetrachloride are decomposed into their constituent elements. One sample produces 32.4 g of carbon and 373 g of chlorine, and the other sample produces 12.3 g of carbon and 112 g of chlorine. Are these  results consistent with the law of constant composition? Explain your answer.

Solution

Solution 26P

Moles of C in the first sample = 32.4 / 12 = 2.7

moles of Cl = 373/35.5 = 10.51

ratio C : Cl = 2.7 : 10.51
