CASE STUDY QUESTIONS [4 marks]
24. A chemist compared two samples of carbon dioxide. Sample ‘A’ was obtained from burning charcoal.
Sample ‘B’ was obtained by heating limestone. Both samples were decomposed to measure the masses of
carbon and oxygen present. In Sample A, 12 g of carbon combined with 32 g of oxygen. In Sample B, 6 g of
carbon combined with 16 g of oxygen. The chemist concluded that CO₂ always contains carbon and oxygen
in the same fixed ratio by mass.
