QUESTION:
Carbon reacts with oxygen to form two different compounds. Compound I contains 4.82 g of carbon for every 6.44 g of oxygen. Compound II contains 20.13 g of carbon for every 53.7 g of oxygen. What is the ratio of carbon to a fixed mass of oxygen for the two compounds?
ANSWER:Step 1 of 2
From the given,
Mass of carbon compound - I = 4.82 g
Mass of oxygen compound - I = 6.44g
Mass of carbon compound - II = 20.13 g
Mass of oxygen compound -II = 53.7 g
