Answer:
6.96 grams of Carbon.
Explanation:
The only thing that you have to do is to make the conversion from the molecular mass of carbon monoxide, and you have to add the mass of both elements:
1.33 grams of oxygen+1 gram of carbon= 2.33 grams
If we have 16.03 grams of carbon monoxide, we just divide it by 2.33 grams to see how many grams of carbon there are:
[tex]\frac{16.03}{2.33}=6.96[/tex]
So there are 6.96 grams of carbon in 16.03 grams of carbon monoxide.
