Asample of chemical x is found to contain 5.0 grams of oxygen, 10.0 grams of carbon, and 20.0 grams of nitrogen. the law of definite proportion would predict that a 61 gram sample of chemical x should contain how many grams of carbon?

18g C

Explanation:

A sample of chemical X is found to contain 5.0 grams of oxygen, 10.0 grams of carbon, and 20.0 grams of nitrogen. The mass of that sample is:

5.0 g + 10.0 g + 20.0 g = 35.0 g

The ratio mC/mX is:

According to the law of definite proportion, this ratio is constant for the same chemical. For a sample of 61 g of X,

it forms an anion that has a larger radius. anions have a negative charge and are larger than the original atom.
