Problem

Consider the following data obtained by decomposing samples of carbon dioxide, CO₂, into its component elements.

Mass of CO₂ and Components

Sample Mass CO₂ Mass C Mass O₂

1 44.00 g 12.00 g 32.00 g

2 22.00 g 6.00 g 16.00 g

3 88.00 g 24.00 g 64.00 g

Which of the following statements is consistent with this data?

Mass of CO₂ and Components
Sample	Mass CO₂	Mass C	Mass O₂
1	44.00 g	12.00 g	32.00 g
2	22.00 g	6.00 g	16.00 g
3	88.00 g	24.00 g	64.00 g

As the mass of carbon dioxide used increases so does the mass of oxygen.

As the mass of carbon dioxide used increases so does the mass of carbon.

The sum of the masses of carbon and oxygen equals the mass of carbon dioxide used.

The mass of oxygen is about 2.67 times that of carbon in all samples.

All these statements correctly apply to the given data.
