Question:

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

Answer:

The given reaction is
                Carbon + Oxygen ➜ Carbon Dioxide
                  3g   +  8g    =   11g 

⇒ Total mass of reactants = Total mass of products
∴ Law of conservation of mass is obeyed.

It also shows that carbon dioxide (CO2) contains carbon and oxygen in fixed ratio i.e. 3:8 which follows Law of Constant proportion.

⇒ 3g of carbon (C) will react with 8g of oxygen (O) to give 11g of carbon dioxide (CO2).
⇒ Remaining oxygen (50 -8 = 42g) will not participate in the reaction.
