Answer:

c. 64 grams

Step-by-step explanation:

What is the proper combining ratio (by mass) for carbon to oxygen in the reaction that forms carbon dioxide (CO 2)? From the data given in question 1, since 64 grams of oxygen reacts with 24 grams of carbon, the ratio must be 64 to 24, which is 2.7 parts oxygen to 1 part carbon.
