Two samples said to be carbon dioxide (CO2) are decomposed into their constituent elements. One sample produces 4.8 g O and 1.8 g C, while the other produces 17.1 g O and 6.4 g C. Are these results consistent with the law of constant composition?
Added by Jason T.
Step 1
For the first sample: Total mass = 4.8 g O + 1.8 g C = 6.6 g For the second sample: Total mass = 17.1 g O + 6.4 g C = 23.5 g Show more…

Two samples of carbon tetrachloride are decomposed into their constituent elements. One sample produces $32.4 \mathrm{g}$ of carbon and $373 \mathrm{g}$ of chlorine, and the other sample produces $12.3 \mathrm{g}$ of carbon and $112 \mathrm{g}$ of chlorine. Are these results consistent with the law of constant composition? Explain your answer.
Two samples of carbon tetrachloride are decomposed into their constituent elements. One sample produces 38.9 g of carbon and 448 $\mathrm{g}$ of chlo- rinc, and the other sample produces 14.8 $\mathrm{g}$ of carbon and 134 $\mathrm{g}$ of chlorine. Are these results consistent with the law of definite proportions? Show why or why not.
Two samples of carbon dioxide are decomposed into their constituent elements. One sample produces 25.6 g of oxygen and 9.60 g of carbon, and the other produces 21.6 g of oxygen and 8.10 g of carbon. Show that these results are consistent with the law of definite proportions.
