Do carbon and oxygen have the same atomic mass?

They don't contain the same number of particles because some particles are more dense than others making one atom and another atom the same mass but not have the same number of particles.


What on Dalton's theory would you expect a carbon atom to have the same mass as an oxygen atom?

According to Dalton's atomic theory, atoms of different elements have different masses. Therefore, a carbon atom would not be expected to have the same mass as an oxygen atom, as they are distinct elements with different atomic weights. Carbon has an atomic mass of about 12 amu, while oxygen has an atomic mass of about 16 amu. Thus, Dalton's theory supports the idea that each element's atoms possess unique masses.


Is carbon and carbon monoxide the same?

No - carbon is an element, while carbon monoxide is an oxygen atom attached to carbon, turning it into a gas which is quite toxic.


What has a different mass number than the normal atom?

We can find atomic mass and mass number in chemical elements. Atomic mass is about weight of the atom. Mass number is about total of neutrons and protons.


How do you find the atomic mass of CO2?

To find the atomic mass of CO2, you need to identify the atomic masses of each element in the compound and then add them together. The atomic mass of carbon (C) is 12.01 amu, and the atomic mass of oxygen (O) is 16.00 amu. In CO2, there are two oxygen atoms, so you would calculate the atomic mass by adding 12.01 amu (carbon) to 2x16.00 amu (oxygen) for a total of 44.01 amu.

Does a carbon atom have the same mass as an oxygen atom?

No all oxygen atoms do not have the same mass as you can get isotypes of the same element which are still called the same except that they can have more or less neutrons than the standard model this is why the weight is refered to as an average mass


Does an oxygen atom weight the same as a hydrogen atom?

an oxygen and a hydrogen atom do not weight the same


does carbon atom have the same mass as a oxgen atom?

A carbon atom of mass number 12 and a carbon atom of mass number 14 are?

Isotopes. Iso = same, as in the # of protons. Radioisotope is more accurate.


Examples of the law of definite composition?

The law of definite composition states that chemical compounds always contain the same elements in the same proportions by mass. For example, water always consists of two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom in a 2:1 ratio by mass. Additionally, carbon dioxide always contains one carbon atom and two oxygen atoms in a 1:2 ratio by mass.


How many times an atom of carbon is heavier than atom of carbon?

You need to restate your question as you have asked the difference between something and itself.


A certain mass of carbon reacts with 13.6g of oxygen to form carbon monoxide what amount of grams of oxygen would react with that same mass of carbon to form carbon dioxide?

Carbon monoxide (CO) and carbon dioxide (CO2) have a molar ratio of 1:1 with respect to carbon. The molar mass of CO is 28 g/mol and the molar mass of CO2 is 44 g/mol. Since the same mass of carbon reacts in both cases, the same mass of oxygen (13.6 g) would react to form CO2.


Is carbon dioxide the same as carbon monoxide?

No it's not the same. Carbon monoxide is CO and carbon dioxide is CO2. Carbon monoxide comes out of car exhausts and is poisonous if breathed in. CO2 is much less dangerous, though it is also a health hazard if the concentration is high enough. There are two oxygens atoms attached to the carbon atom in carbon dioxide (thus the name). There is only one oxygen atom attached to the carbon atom.


Why is it inaccurate to say that CO is 50 percent oxygen?

Because the mass of carbon is not the same as that of oxygen.


Is carbon and carbon monoxide the same?

No - carbon is an element, while carbon monoxide is an oxygen atom attached to carbon, turning it into a gas which is quite toxic.


Who has greater kinetic energy a hydrogen atom or a carbon atom moving at the same speed?

The carbon atom would have greater kinetic energy compared to the hydrogen atom because kinetic energy is directly proportional to the mass of the object. Since the carbon atom is heavier than the hydrogen atom, it would possess more kinetic energy when moving at the same speed.
