Answer:

128g

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of carbon = 48g

Mass of carbon dioxide = 176g

Unknown:

Mass of oxygen that reacted = ?

Solution:

Every chemical reaction must obey the law of conservation of mass. It states that "in a chemical reaction, matter is neither created nor destroyed" .

So;

Mass of carbon + Mass of oxygen = Mass of carbon dioxide

Mass of oxygen = Mass of carbon dioxide - Mass of carbon

Mass of oxygen = 176 - 48 = 128g
