When 3.0g of carbon is burnt in 8.00 g oxygen, 11.00g of carbon dioxide is produced. What mass of carbon dioxide will be formed when 3.00g of carbon is burnt in 50.00g of oxygen? Which law of chemical combination will govern your answer.

Explanation

`C + O_(2) to CO_(2)`
`3 + 8 to 11`
`CO_(2) = (1 xx C) + (2 xx O) (1 xx 12) + (2 xx 16)`
`12 + 32 = 48` gm of `CO_(2)`
`50 g to O_(2)`
`to 8g` consumed
`50-8 = 42 g of O_(2)`
