The atomic mass of an atom of carbon is 12 amu, and the atomic mass of an atom of oxygen is 16 amu. To produce CO, 16 g of oxygen combine with 12 g of carbon. To produce CO₂, 32 g of oxygen combine with 12g of carbon. The ratio of the mass of oxygen in CO₂ to the mass of oxygen in CO is

• 1:1

• 2:1

• 1:2

• 8:3

Which of the following is not one of the five principles of Dalton’s theory?

• Atoms of different elements combine in simple, whole-number ratios to form compounds.

• All matter is made of indivisible, indestructible atoms.

• All atoms have similar physical and chemical properties.

• Chemical reactions consist of the combination, separation, or rearrangement of atoms.

According to the law of definite proportions, any two samples of KCl will have

• The same mass.

• Slightly different molecular structures but the same two elements.

• Different densities.

• The same elements in the same proportions by mass.

According to the law of conservation of mass, when sodium, hydrogen, and oxygen react to form a compound, the mass of the compound will be

• Equal to the sum of the masses of the reactants.

• Greater than the sum of the masses of the reactants.

• Less than the sum of the masses of the reactants.

• Either less than or equal to the sum of the masses of the reactants.
