Question

If 14 atoms of carbon react with 28 atoms of oxygen to form carbon dioxide, how many atoms are contained in the carbon dioxide that is produced?

Answer 1

The answer is 42

Step-by-step explanation:

C+O2= CO2, so 14+28=42

Answer 2

Atoms of carbon that reacts = 14 atoms
Atoms of oxygen that reacts = 28 Atoms
Carbon and oxygen reacts with each other and forms carbon dioxide
how many atoms are contained in the carbon dioxide that is produced = ?
There is 14 atoms of carbon and 28 atoms of oxygen are present in the carbon dioxide which is formed. They just bonded with each other. C + O₂ →CO₂
