According to law of definite proportion:

In a compound, elements are always arranged in fixed ratio by mass.

Here, sample 1 has 23.22 g Carbon and 32.00 g Oxygen.

Converting mass into number of moles:

Molar mass of carbon is 12 g/mol and that of oxygen is 16 g/mol thus,

n_{C}=\frac{m_{C}}{M_{C}}=\frac{24.22 g}{12 g/mol}\approx 2 mol

Similarly, number of moles of oxygen will be:

n_{O}=\frac{m_{O}}{M_{O}}=\frac{32 g}{16 g/mol}=2 mol

The ratio of number of moles of carbon and oxygen will be:

C:O=n_{C}:n_{O}=2:2=1:1

Therefore, formula of compound will be CO.

Sample 2:

It has 36.22 g Carbon and 48.00 g Oxygen.

Converting mass into number of moles:

Molar mass of carbon is 12 g/mol and that of oxygen is 16 g/mol thus,

n_{C}=\frac{m_{C}}{M_{C}}=\frac{36.22 g}{12 g/mol}\approx 3 mol

Similarly, number of moles of oxygen will be:

n_{O}=\frac{m_{O}}{M_{O}}=\frac{48 g}{16 g/mol}=3 mol

The ratio of number of moles of carbon and oxygen will be:

C:O=n_{C}:n_{O}=3:3=1:1

The formula of compound will be CO.

Therefore, it is proved that carbon and oxygen are present in fixed ratios in both the samples.

In what type of reaction or process does heat flow into the system
SCORPION-xisa [38]

Answer:  The correct answer is:  " endothermic . "

______________________________________

<u>Note</u>:  Heat flows <u> into </u>  [heat <u> may be </u> absorbed within] an "<u>endothermic</u>" reaction or system

          To the contrary, heat flows <u> </u><u>out </u>  [heat  <u> may </u><em> </em>exit from or <u> may be </u> released from] an "<u>exothermic</u>" reaction or process.

<u>Hint</u>:  Think of the "prefixes" of:  "<u>endo</u>thermic"  and "<u>exo</u>thermic" :

_____________________________________

  1)  endo- = "within" (as in "endothermic" —heat tends to be absorbed/"within"/"released within"/released within"/into" ;

  2) exo-   = " outwards"/"exit" (as in "exothermic") —heat tends to '"exit"/leave/escape from/"be released out of/form".

gayaneshka [121]

Answer:

check it below

Explanation:

NaCl; Sodium Chloride is an ionic compound formed by sodium and Chlorine.

Ionic bond is very strong, It can't be separated back to sodium and chlorine just by physical change. Chemicals which are more reactive can displace ions, thus seperate it
