QUESTION:
The three most stable oxides of carbon are carbon monoxide (CO), carbon dioxide \(\left(\mathrm{CO}_{2}\right)\), and carbon suboxide \(\left(\mathrm{C}_{3} \mathrm{O}_{2}\right)\). The molecules can be represented as
Explain how these molecules illustrate the law of multiple proportions.
ANSWER:Step 1 of 2
From the given,
First oxide of carbon - \(\mathrm{CO}\)
Second oxide of carbon - \(\mathrm{CO}_{2}\)
Third oxide of carbon - \(\mathrm{C}_{3} \mathrm{O}_{2}\).
The given molecules are as follows;
