A mixture of carbon and sulfur has a mass of 9.0 g. Complete combustion with excess O2 gives 29.7 g of a mixture of CO2 and SO2.
sounds amazing!
Oh, was there a question in there somewhere?
See my response to the corrected question above.
To determine the mass of carbon and sulfur in the mixture, we can start by subtracting the mass of CO2 and SO2 formed from the initial mass of the mixture.
Initial mass of the mixture = 9.0 g
Mass of CO2 and SO2 formed = 29.7 g
Mass of carbon and sulfur = Initial mass of the mixture - Mass of CO2 and SO2 formed
= 9.0 g - 29.7 g
= -20.7 g
However, a negative mass is not physically possible, so there might be an error in the provided information. Please double-check the data and provide the correct information so that we can accurately calculate the mass of carbon and sulfur in the mixture.
