The answer is B, 54 g. Reactants and products have the same mass, so if the product is 72 g of carbon dioxide, and all we know is there is 18 g of carbon, then we can find the difference of 72 and 18 by subtracting 18 from 72 which is 54 g.

From the given balanced chemical reaction,
                                   C + O2 -> CO2
the mass ratio of the carbon and oxygen that is needed for the reaction is 12:32. Simplifying the ratio gives 3 unit mass C is to 8 unit mass O2. Given 18 g of carbon,
           18 g x (32 g oxygen / 12 g carbon) = 48 grams. 
For the given product, the ratio of oxygen to carbon dioxide is 32: 44.
                      72 g CO2 x (32 g O2 / 44 g CO2) = 52.36 grams

A main job of hcl is to begin _______ digestion. carbohydrate fat protein
s344n2d4d5 [400]
The answer to this is protein.

Hydrochloric acid in digestive system is found in stomach, which is the only main digestive organ with an acidic pH 2.

In the stomach, only one kind of the primary food substance is chemically digested, which is protein. It is digested with the help of enzyme Pepsin, which breaks protein chains into polypeptides.

After that, the other organs of the digestive system has more of a neutral to slightly alkali condition, which is not related to hcl. Therefore, the answer is protein.
