Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To find the percentage of oxygen in carbon dioxide (CO₂), follow these steps: ### Step 1: Determine the molecular weight of CO₂ - The molecular formula for carbon dioxide is CO₂, which consists of one carbon atom and two oxygen atoms. - The atomic weight of carbon (C) is 12. - The atomic weight of oxygen (O) is 16. - Since there are two oxygen atoms in CO₂, the total weight of oxygen is \(2 \times 16 = 32\). ...
