Question

Identify the correct statements
The mass ratio of oxygen to carbon in CO is 1.33 for every sample of CO O The mass ratio of oxygen to carbon in t CO2 is 2.667 for every sample of CO For two compounds of C and O, the mass ratio of C to Oinone oompound is a multiple of the mass ratio of C to○inthe other compound. D The mass ratio of oxygen to carbon in CO is twice the mass rato of oxygen to carbon in C O2

Answer 1

Answer:

D. The mass ratio of oxygen to carbon in CO is twice the mass ratio of oxygen to carbon in CO2

Explanation:

Mass of Oxygen in 1 mole of substance = 16g

Mass of carbon in 1 mole of the same substance = 12g

Ratio of O : C = 12/16

= 1 : 0.75

Mass of oxygen in O2 = (16*2) = 32 g

Mass of carbon = 12 g

Mass ratio of O2 : C

= 32 : 12

= 12/32

= 1 : 0.375

From the calculations above, The mass ratio of oxygen to carbon in CO is twice the mass ratio of oxygen to carbon in CO2.
