Given :
Mass of oxygen containing carbon monoxide (CO) is 2.666 gram .
To Find :
How many grams of carbon (C) would be present in carbon monoxide (CO) that contains 2.666 grams of oxygen (O) .
Solution :
By law of constant composition , a given chemical compound always contains its component elements in fixed ratio (by mass) and does not depend on its source and method of preparation.
So , volume of solution does not matter .
Moles of oxygen ,
.
Now , molecule of CO contains 1 mole of C .
So , moles of C is also 0.167 mole .
Mass of carbon ,
.
Therefore , mass of carbon is 2 grams .
Hence , this is the required solution .
Answer:
Explanation:
Ok so an atom is each ball. So in the first one there are 5 balls. In the second one there are 4 and so on. A molecule contains more than two balls. So they are all molecules. For the counting reactants and products, count how many balls are to the left of the arrow which is your number of reactants and count the balls to the right to find the number of product atoms.
