Answer:
16.933g approximately 17.0 grams
Explanation:
From the simple promotions and given the same compound ascorbic acid (vitamin C)
In the laboratory synthesised ascorbic acid
Mass of carbon = 30.0g
Mas of Oxygen = 40.0g
That is the mass of Oxygen per unit mass of Carbon
Per gram of Carbon we have
(30.0g Carbon)÷30 combines with (40.0g of Oxygen)÷30
That is 4/3g of Oxygen per gram of Carbon
Hence the mass of Oxygen compound that combines with 12.7g of Carbonin natural occurring ascorbic acid (vitamin C) is = 4/3×12.7 = 16.933g approximately 17.0g
The molecule CO2 have 2 lone pairs located in the oxygen atoms. It has two double bonds also connecting carbon atom to the two oxygen atoms. It does obey the octet rule so the atoms need 8 electrons in each of them that is why electrons are shared.
