Question
A 1.0-g sample of carbon dioxide (CO2) is fully decomposed
into its elements, yielding 0.273 g of carbon and 0.727 g of
oxygen. (a) What is the ratio of the mass of O to C? (b) If a
sample of a different compound decomposes into 0.429 g of
carbon and 0.571 g of oxygen, what is its ratio of the mass of
O to C? (c) According to Dalton’s atomic theory, what is the
empirical formula of the second compound?
