Stoichiomety:

1 moles of C + 1 mol of O2 = 1 mol of CO2

multiply each # of moles times the atomic molar mass of the compund to find the relation is weights

Atomic or molar weights:

C: 12 g/mol
O2: 2 * 16 g/mol = 32 g/mol
CO2 = 12 g/mol + 2* 16 g/mol = 44 g/mol

Stoichiometry:

12 g of C react with 32 g of O2 to produce 44 g of CO2

Then 18 g of C will react with: 18 * 32/ 12 g of Oxygen = 48 g of Oxygen

And the result will be 12 g of C + 48 g of O2 = 60 g of CO2.

You cannot obtain 72 g of CO2 from 18 g of C.

May be they just pretended that you use the law of consrvation of mass and say that you need 72 g - 18g = 54 g. But it violates the proportion of C and O2 in the CO2 and is not possible.

most historians agree that gabriel mouton, the vicar of st. paul’s church in lyons, france, is the “founding father” of the metric system. he proposed a decimal system of measurement in 1670. mouton based it on the length of one minute of arc of a great circle of the earth (now called a nautical mile, 1852 meters). he also proposed the swing-length of a pendulum with a frequency of one beat per second as the unit of length (about 25 cm). a pendulum beating with this length would have been fairly easy to produce, thus facilitating the widespread distribution of uniform standards. over the years, his work was revised, improved, and extended by a number of french scientists.

the political sponsor of weights and measures reform in the french revolutionary national assembly was the bishop of autun, better known as talleyrand. under his auspices, the french academy appointed several committees to carry out the work of developing a usable system of weights and measures for france. one of the committees recommended a decimalized measurement system based upon a length equal to one ten-millionth of the length of a quadrant of the earth’s meridian (i.e., one ten-millionth of the distance between the equator and the north pole).

it’s previous models because when i picked that son of a gun’s answer it was wrong look for previous models because they might make it a different letter
