Carbon dioxide is a gaseous molecule made up of the elements, C and O. Each mole of carbon dioxide has one mole C and two mole oxygen atoms.
Molar mass of carbon dioxide (
)=
Percentage by mass of carbon = 
Percentage by mass of oxygen = 
Therefore C is 27.3 % and O is 72.7 % by mass in 1 mol CO
Answer:
Making oxygen
Oxygen can be made from hydrogen peroxide, which decomposes slowly to form water and oxygen:
hydrogen peroxide → water + oxygen
2H2O2(aq) → 2H2O(l) + O2(g)
The rate of reaction can be increased using a catalyst, manganese(IV) oxide. When manganese(IV) oxide is added to hydrogen peroxide, bubbles of oxygen are given off.
Apparatus arranged to measure the volume of gas in a reaction. Reaction mixture is in a flask and gas travels out through a pipe in the top and down into a trough of water. It then bubbles up through a beehive shelf into an upturned glass jar filled with water. The gas collects at the top of the jar, forcing water out into the trough below.
To make oxygen in the laboratory, hydrogen peroxide is poured into a conical flask containing some manganese(IV) oxide. The gas produced is collected in an upside-down gas jar filled with water. As the oxygen collects in the top of the gas jar, it pushes the water out.
Instead of the gas jar and water bath, a gas syringe could be used to collect the oxygen.
white phosphorus is used in flares and explosives, so may be important in warfare, etc. Red phosphorus is used in matches (side of matches) and in fertilizers which are essential to growing plants. I don't know if that is economically important, but there are many ways that phosphorus benifit the economy. One downside on the economy is that phosphorus is one of the main ingredients in meth, which of course causes trouble for the economy ( law enforcement, medical, etc. )
Its atomic symbol is H and its atomic number is one. Hydrogen; Hydrogen, H, is a chemical element with atomic number 1. At standard temperature and pressure, hydrogen is a colorless, odorless, nonmetallic, tasteless, highly flammable diatomic gas with the molecular formula H2.
Hydrogen is easily the most abundant element in the universe. It is found in the sun and most of the stars, and the planet Jupiter is composed mostly of hydrogen. On Earth, hydrogen is found in the greatest quantities as water.
