Answer:
- <u><em>Ratio of the mass carbon that combines with 1.00 g of oxygen in compound 2 to the mass of carbon that combines with 1.00 g of oxygen in compound 1 = 2</em></u>
Explanation:
First, detemine the mass of oxygen in the two samples by difference:
- mass of oxygen = mass of sample - mass of carbon
Item Compound 1 Compound 2
Sample 80.0 g 80.0 g
Carbon 21.8 g 34.3 g
Oxygen: 80.0 g - 21.8g = 58.2 g 80.0 g - 34.3 g = 45.7 g
Second, determine the ratios of the masses of carbon that combine with 1.00 g of oxygen:
- For each sample, divide the mass of carbon by the mass of oxygen determined above:
Sample Mass of carbon that combines with 1.00 g of oxygen
Compound 1 21.8 g / 58.2 g = 0.375
Compound 2 34.3 g / 45.7 g = 0.751
Third, determine the ratio of the masses of carbon between the two compounds.
- Divide the greater number by the smaller number:
- Ratio = 0.751 / 0.375 = 2.00 which in whole numbers is 2
Is there answer choices ??
This reaction is called silioconic
I believe it is D. They can contain different types of atom the can contain different type of arms and molecule
