D. They should try to reproduce Dr. Maxwell's research to verify his results
Answer:
The answer to your question is: 101.2 g of CO2
Explanation:
C = 27.6 g
O₂ = 86.5 g remained 12.9 g
O₂ that reacted = 86.5 - 12.9 = 73.6 g
C + O₂ ⇒ CO₂ The equation is balanced
27.6 73.6 ?
MW 12 32 44
Rule of three
12 g of C------------------ 44 g CO2
27.6 g C ------------------ x
x = 27.6(44)/12 = 101.2 g of CO2
32 g of O2 --------------- 44 g of CO2
73.6 g of O2 ------------ x
x = 73.6(44)/32 = 101.2 g of CO2
