1. Law of Conservation of Mass. When diamond-a pure form of carbon-is burned in an oxygen atmosphere, each carbon atom combines with two oxygen atoms. If a 2.000 g (10.00 carat) diamond is burned in a closed container with only 6.000 g of oxygen, how much will the container's contents weigh after the burning process? Obtain the number of moles for: 2.000 g (10.00 carat) diamond, and 6.000 g of oxygen. After the above reaction, which do you expect to have leftover substances that are unreacted?

3.112 In one experiment, the burning of 0.614 g of sulfur produced 1.246 g of sulfur dioxide as its only product. In a second experiment run to verify the outcome of the first, a sample was burned and 0.813 g of sulfur dioxide was obtained, but the student running the experiment forgot to determine the initial mass of sulfur burned. Describe how the data already obtained could be used to calculate the initial mass of the sulfur burned in the second experiment.
