Answer:
1. 1.33 gram of carbon
2. 2.38g of carbon dioxide
Explanation:
From the given information:
Total amount of CO₂ = 4.86 grams
Atomic mass of C = 12 g/mole
molar mass of CO₂ = 44 g/mole
∴
The mass of the Carbon (C) in grams is:
[tex]= Total\ amount \ of \ CO_2 \times \dfrac{12 \ g/mol}{44 \ g/mol}[/tex]
[tex]= 4.86 \ g \times \dfrac{12 \ g/mol}{44 \ g/mol}[/tex]
= 1.33 gram of carbon
2.
Here, the total amount of CO₂ = unknown
Atomic mass of O₂ = 32 g/mole
molar mass of CO₂ = 44 g/mole
amount of oxygen = 1.73 g
∴
The mass of CO₂ = [tex]Total \ amount \ of \ O_2 \times \dfrac{44 \ g/mol}{32\ g/mol}[/tex]
[tex]=1.73 \times \dfrac{44 \ g/mol}{32\ g/mol}[/tex]
= 2.38 g of carbon dioxide
