When elemental carbon is burned in the open atmosphere, with plenty of oxygen gas present, the product is carbon dioxide. :math>C(s)+O2(g)CO2(g) wever, when the amount of oxygen present during the burning of the carbon is restricted, carbon monoxide is more likely to result. :math>2C(s)+O2(g)CO(g) at mass of each product is expected when a 5.00-g sample of pure carbon is burned under each of these conditions?
A sample of an oxide of vanadium weighing 4.589 g was heated with hydrogen gas to form water and another oxide of vanadium weighing 3.782 g. The second oxide was treated further with hydrogen until only 2.573 g of vanadium metal remained. (a) What are the simplest formulas of the two oxides? (b) What is the total mass of water formed in the successive reactions?

With the advent of techniques such as scanning tunneling microscopy, it is now possible to write with individual atoms by manipulating and arranging atoms on an atomic surface. a. If an image is prepared by manipulating iron atoms and their total mass is 1.05 1020 g, what number of iron atoms were used? b. If the image is prepared on a platinum surface that is exactly 20 platinum atoms high and 14 platinum atoms wide, what is the mass (grams) of the atomic surface? c. If the atomic surface were changed to ruthenium atoms and the same surface mass as determined in part b is used, what number of ruthenium atoms is needed to construct the surface?
According to the law of conservation of mass, mass cannot be gained or destroyed in a chemical reaction. Why cant you simply add the masses of two reactants to determine the total mass of product?
Saccharin is the active ingredient in many sweeteners used today. It is made up of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, sulfur, and nitrogen. When 7.500 g of saccharin are burned in oxygen, 12.6 g CO2, 1.84 g H2O, and 2.62 g SO2 are obtained. Another experiment using the same mass of sample (7.500 g) shows that saccharin has 7.65% N. What is the simplest formula for saccharin?

A binary compound of magnesium and nitrogen is analyzed, and 1.2791 g of the compound ¡s found to contain 0.9240 g of magnesium. When a second sample of this compound is treated with water and heated, the nitrogen is driven off as ammonia, leaving a compound that contains 60.31% magnesium and 39.69% oxygen by mass. Calculate the empirical formulas of the two magnesium compounds.
