No, hydrogen, oxygen and carbon dioxide have very different weights.

How much does CO2 weigh in grams?

carbon= 12.01 oxygen=16*2 12.01+32=44.01 CO2


If you heat 10g wood and produce 1g of ash what is the mass of other products produced?

Given that wood is primarily composed of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen, upon combustion, the remaining products are typically carbon dioxide and water vapor. If 10g of wood produces 1g of ash, the remaining products would weigh approximately 8-9g.


Why does wood weigh less when you burn it?

When wood burns, essentially organic molecules within the wood is oxidized into carbon dioxide, among other oxidized carbon forms. The various oxidized carbon forms are mainly gases and is released into the atmosphere. Because after the wood is burned out, the majority of the organic material has been converted into the gases, much of the wood's mass is lost.


Carbon dioxide is lighter than chlorine?

Carbon dioxide is actually heavier than chlorine. The molecular weight of carbon dioxide is 44 g/mol, while the molecular weight of chlorine is 71 g/mol. In a given volume, carbon dioxide would weigh more than chlorine.


Why if sucrose is 51.5 percent oxygen by mass and only 6.4 percent hydrogen by mass is there twice as many hydrogen atoms than oxygen atoms?

The molecular formula of sucrose is C₁₂H₂₂O₁₁. From this formula, we can see that there are 12 hydrogen atoms and 11 oxygen atoms in sucrose. Despite oxygen accounting for 51.5% of the mass and hydrogen only 6.4%, the ratio of hydrogen atoms to oxygen atoms is determined by the molecular formula, not the mass percentages.

How do you weigh carbon dioxide?

To measure the weight of carbon dioxide, you can use a scale or balance. Place the container holding the carbon dioxide on the scale, tare it to zero, then record the weight shown on the scale. Be sure to account for the weight of the container itself if necessary.


Is Hydrogen gas lighter than air or heavier than air?

Hydrogen gas is 16x lighter than air. The atomic weight of Hydrogen is 1 atomic mass unit, and the atomic weight of oxygen is 16 atomic mass units. 602,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 hydrogen molecules would weigh 1 gram. The same amount of oxygen would weigh 16 grams. Clarification: The air we breath is actually a mixture of oxygen, nitrogen, and carbon dioxide. But in this example, I treated it as pure oxygen to keep things simple.


Why do 10 oxygen atoms weigh more than 10 carbon atoms?

Because an oxygen atom has 8 protons and 8 neutrons and 8 electrons. A carbon atom has only 6 of each. So 1 oxygen atom weighs more than 1 carbon atom and therefore 10 oxygen atoms weigh more than 10 carbon atoms.

Is Hydrogen gas lighter than air and why?

Yes. Air is diatomic nitrogen (N2), diatomic oxygen (O2), some argon...erm... carbon dioxide (CO2)...and a million other trace compounds/elements. It's roughly 78% N2, 21% O2, 1% Argon. Something like that. Now, N2 weighs 28 amu (atomic mass units. You can see the weights on a periodic table, usually to 4 decimal places. Carbon is ~12, Nitrogen is ~14, Oxygen is ~16 and Hydrogen is ~1). And we can see that O2 weighs ~32amu, Argon weighs ~40, I think. Either way, hydrogen weights only 1 per hydrogen. So diatomic Hydrogen (which is usually what's meant when discussing Hydrogen in this way) is H2 and weighs only 2. It's the smallest element with no neutrons and only 1 proton. The lightest element of all. So Hydrogen doesn't weigh as much as ANY of air's other constituents, so air as a total must weigh more...which is true for most things vs hydrogen. This is if both gases, air and hydrogen, are at the same pressure.


Why does a candle weigh a certain amount but when the wax melts it waighs more?

When a candle burns, the wax combines with oxygen to form carbon dioxide and water vapor, which results in the candle gaining weight as a byproduct of this chemical reaction. The intake of oxygen adds to the weight of the candle once it is burned, causing it to weigh more despite losing wax mass.
