Question

A chemist decomposes several samples of carbon monoxide into carbon and oxygen and weighs the resultant elements. The results are shown below:
Sample Mass of Carbon Mass of Oxygen
1 6 8
2 12 16
3 18 24
Do you notice a pattern in these results?

Next, the chemist decomposes several samples of hydrogen peroxide into hydrogen and oxygen. The results are shown below:
Sample Mass of Hydrogen Mass of Oxygen
1 0.5 8
2 1 16
3 1.5 24
Part B
Do you notice a similarity between these results and those for carbon monoxide in part a?
partc
Formulate a law from the observations in a and b.
part d
Formulate a hypothesis that might explain your law in c

Answer 1

In Part A, the mass of oxygen is always 4/3 the mass of carbon. In part B, the mass of oxygen is always 16 times the mass of hyrdogen

Answer 2

Formulate a law from the observations in a and b.
Formulate a hypothesis that might explain your law in c

Answer 3

whats C?

Answer 4

part c
Formulate a law from the observations in a and b

Answer 5

part d
Formulate a hypothesis that might explain your law in c

Answer 6

so... law is M (1st element)= k M (2nd element) , i guess

and i guess aswell that the hypothesis is that "In a bonded compound, the mass of each element is linear dependent (has a linear variation) from the mass of the other(s)"

Answer 7

Yes, exactly, that's very good!
