The molecular mass of CO is 28. The carbon percentage by mass is ~43%. Hence the oxygen percentage by mass is ~57%.
Oxygen as a gas is heavier than carbonmonoxide This is because carbon monoxide consists of one oxygen atom and one carbon atom. This says that if the mass of oxygen is x and the mass of carbon is x-z (its not as heavy as oxygen) then a carbon monoxide molecule is 2x-z. Also we must keep in mind that z is smaller than x. On the other hand an oxygen molecule is 2x. It is obvious that 2x is larger than 2x-z unless z is 0 or smaller. However z cant be 0 or smaller because then carbon as an atom would be heavier than oxygen which it isn't. However Carbon Monoxide is heavier than oxygen as an atom. Again we can say CO is 2x-z and since z is less than x, 2x-z>x. Also x is an oxygen atoms mass. So CO>O but CO<O2!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
When the amount of oxygen is limited, carbon and oxygen react to form carbon monoxide. How many grams of CO can be formed from 35 grams of oxygen?
The gram formula or molecular mass of CO can be found by simply looking at the periodic table of elements.Carbon has a mass of 12.0107gOxygen has a mass of 15.9994gSimply add both together to get your answer:12.0107g + 15.9994g = 28.0101gRemember sig figs!
The chemical formula (CO) tells you - one atom of Carbon (C) and one atom of Oxygen (O) = 2 atoms.
The molecular mass of CO is 28. The carbon percentage by mass is ~43%. Hence the oxygen percentage by mass is ~57%.
Because the mass of carbon is not the same as that of oxygen.
0.44g CO
The composition of CO is carbon + oxygen
carbon and oxygen

It is a compound of one carbon atom and one oxygen atom. Carbon and oxygen are both elements.

carbon-dioxide (carbon+oxygen) CO
carbon-dioxide (carbon+oxygen) CO
The chemical formula (CO) tells you - one atom of Carbon (C) and one atom of Oxygen (O) = 2 atoms.
