What mass of carbon dioxide, water, and sulfur dioxide can be produced from the combustion of 1.5793g of C7H12S?

3 answers

RMM of C7H12S = 128 (approx.)
Mass = 1.5793g

Mass of Carbon
= 1.5793*(84/128)
=1.036416 g
Mass of Carbon Dioxide
= 1.03642 g *(44/12)
= 3.80019 g
= 3.8002 g (to 5 significant figures)

Since the original mass is given to 5 significant figures, you will need to replace the relative atomic masses above with ones of similar accuracy.

The calculation of H2O and SO2 are similar.
the h20 and s02 you do not have any carbon though to work with it?
You would replace carbon with H and CO2 with H2O, similarly for S and SO2.
