What law is described by the fact that the ratio of the mass of oxygen in carbon dioxide to the mass of oxygen in carbon monoxide is 2 to 1?

This statement illustrates the law of multiple proportions, which states that if two elements form more than one compound between them, then the ratios of the masses of the second element which combine with a fixed mass of the first element will be ratios of small whole numbers.
You can also put it this way: When two elements (A and B) combine to form more than one compound, the different masses of B that combine with a fixed mass of A are in a simple ratio.

What happens when oxygen reacts with carbon monoxide?
When carbon monoxide reacts with oxygen carbon dioxide is formed
What does carbon monoxide and oxygen yield?
Carbon dioxide.
What is a balanced chemical equation for how a catalytic converter works?
nitrogen monoxide + carbon monoxide --> nitrogen + carbon dioxide the reactions are: carbon monoxide + oxygen --> carbon dioxide nitrogen monoxide --> nitrogen + oxygen
How many atoms are in a molecule of carbon monoxide?
Two in carbon MONoxide (1 Carbon + 1 Oxygen -->MONO-oxide ) Three in carbon DIoxide (1 Carbon + 2 Oxygen -->DIoxide )
What does carbon dioxide plus oxygen make?
Carbon (C) can react with Oxygen (O) under different conditions to result in different products. 2C(s) + O2 (g)---------> 2CO (g) [CO is carbon monoxide gas] C(s) + O2 (g)-----------> CO2 (g) [CO2 is carbon dioxide gas] Hope it helped.
What law is described by the fact that the ratio of the mass of oxygen in carbon dioxide to the mass of oxygen in carbon monoxide?
law of multiple proportion
What happens when oxygen reacts with carbon monoxide?
When carbon monoxide reacts with oxygen carbon dioxide is formed
Is there more carbon in carbon dioxide or carbon monoxide?
There is proportionally more carbon in carbon monoxide than there is in carbon dioxide. Carbon monoxide, CO, has a one-to-one ration of carbon to oxygen. Carbon dioxide, CO2, has a one-to-two ration of carbon to oxygen.
What does carbon monoxide and oxygen yield?
Carbon dioxide.
Where do lungs exchange oxygen and carbon monoxide?
The lungs do not exchange oxygen and carbon monoxide. They exchange oxygen and carbon dioxide. They do that in the aveoli.
Does plants change carbon monoxide to carbon dioxide?
plants do not change carbon monoxide into carbon dioxide. they, on the other hand, convert carbon dioxide in to oxygen.
What compound do carbon and oxygen make?
Carbon Monoxide or Carbon Dioxide.
What is a compound made from carbon and oxygen?
Carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide
What Compound is Made From carbon And Oxygen?
Carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide
How do carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide differ?
Carbon dioxide is Co2, while carbon monoxide is minus a oxygen atom and is CO. Carbon monoxide is also ten times more toxic than carbon dioxide.
What is a balanced chemical equation for how a catalytic converter works?
nitrogen monoxide + carbon monoxide --> nitrogen + carbon dioxide the reactions are: carbon monoxide + oxygen --> carbon dioxide nitrogen monoxide --> nitrogen + oxygen
What compound is made up of carbon and oxygen?
carbon monoxide carbon dioxide
