when 48 .0g of carbon reacts with oxygen gas to form carbon dioxide, no carbon or oxygen is left over. How much oxygen is reacted if 176.0g of carbon dioxide is produced

128g

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of carbon  = 48g

Mass of carbon dioxide  = 176g

Unknown:

Mass of oxygen that reacted  = ?

Solution:

Every chemical reaction must obey the law of conservation of mass. It states that "in a chemical reaction, matter is neither created nor destroyed" .

So;

     Mass of carbon + Mass of oxygen  = Mass of carbon dioxide

Mass of oxygen  = Mass of carbon dioxide  - Mass of carbon

Mass of oxygen  = 176  - 48  = 128g
