Question

Identify the statements that are correct. Check all that apply. View Available Hint(s)for Part A The mass ratio of oxygen to carbon in CO is twice the mass ratio of oxygen to carbon in CO2. For two compounds of C and O, the mass ratio of C to O in one compound is a multiple of the mass ratio of C to O in the other compound or can be converted to a small whole number ratio. The mass ratio of oxygen to carbon in CO2 is 2.667 for every sample of CO2. The mass ratio of oxygen to carbon in CO is 1.33 for every sample of CO.

Answer 1

The correct statement is; For two compounds of C and O, the mass ratio of C to O in one compound is a multiple of the mass ratio of C to O in the other compound or can be converted to a small whole number ratio.

According to the law of multiple proportions, if two elements say, A and B combine to form more than one chemical compound; the various masses of one element, A, which combine with a fixed mass of the other element B are in simple ratio.

This means that, if there are two compounds of elements like C and O (as in CO and CO2), the mass ratio of C to O in one compound is a multiple of the mass ratio of C to O in the other compound or can be converted to a small whole number ratio.
