Answer: The ratio of carbon dioxide molecules to oxygen molecules is 20 :31
Explanation:
Combustion is a chemical reaction in which hydrocarbons are burnt in the presence of oxygen to give carbon dioxide and water.
According to the law of conservation of mass, mass can neither be created nor be destroyed. Thus the mass of products has to be equal to the mass of reactants. The number of atoms of each element has to be same on reactant and product side. Thus chemical equations are balanced.
The balanced combustion reaction is,:
Thus the ratio of carbon dioxide molecules to oxygen molecules is 20 : 31
= 24.3
The average atomic mass of X is the <em>weighted average</em> of the atomic masses of its isotopes.
We multiply the atomic mass of each isotope by a number representing its <em>relative importance</em> (i.e., its % abundance).
Thus,
0.790 × 24 u = 18.96 u
0.100 × 25 u = 2.50 u
0.110 × 26 u = <u>2.86 u</u>
TOTAL = 24.3 u
∴ The relative atomic mass of X is 24.3.
