The number of grams of carbon that combine with 16 g of oxygen in the formation of CO₂ is 6g.
When two elements combine to make more than one compound, the masses of one element combined with a fixed amount of another element are in the ratio of whole numbers, according to the law of multiple proportions.
When combined with oxygen, carbon can produce two different compounds. They are referred to as carbon dioxide (CO₂) and carbon monoxide (CO).
Carbon monoxide is formed by combining 12 g of carbon with 16 g of oxygen whereas Carbon dioxide is formed when 12 g of carbon reacts with 32 g of oxygen. The amount of carbon is fixed at 12 g in each case. The mass ratio of carbon monoxide to carbon dioxide is 16: 32, or 1: 2.
But in the given case, 16g of oxygen is reacting instead of 32g. Therefore, the number of grams of carbon reacting will be:
Thus, 6g of carbon will react with 16g of oxygen to form carbon dioxide.

Answer:
refraction
Explanation: hope this helps :)
The primary force would be Thermal Convection, it pushes it and thus makes continents drift.

Planets orbit the sun in the paths which are known as elliptical orbit. Each planet has its own orbit around the sun and direction in which all the planets orbit around the sun are the same. These orbits were well explained by the astronomer Kepler. The gravity of the Sun keeps the planets in their orbits. They stay in their orbits because there is no other force in the Solar System which can stop them.
Answer:
C.Vacuum
Explanation:
There are three methods of transfer of heat:
1) Conduction: conduction is the transfer of heat by direct contact between the molecules of two objects (or two substances). The particles of the hotter object vibrate faster than the particles of the colder object, so energy is transferred by collisions of the molecules from the hotter object to the colder object.
2) Convection: convection is the transfer of heat by mass movement of molecules. This occurs in fluids (liquids or gases), when an external source of heat is applied to the fluid. As a result, the part of the fluid closer to the source gets warmer, so it becomes less dense and rises, while the colder part sinks and replaces the hotter part, forming a convective current. The process continues until the heat source is removed.
3) Radiation: radiation is the transfer of heat carried by electromagnetic waves. Electromagnetic waves can travel in any medium and in a vacuum, so they are the only type of heat transfer that can occur in a vacuum (while conduction and convection cannot occur in a vacuum).
