Textbook Question
Chapter 2, Problem 8E
Samples of pure carbon weighing 3.62, 5.91, and 7.07 g were burned in an excess of air. The masses of carbon dioxide obtained (the sole product in each case)were 13.26, 21.66. and 25.91 g, respectively.
a. Do these data establish that carbon dioxide has a fixed composition?
b. What is the composition of carbon dioxide, expressed in % C and % O, by mass?
