That is easy to determine by breaking it down.
C = Carbon, O = oxygen, and the 2 says that there are 2 of the element that comes before it.
So CO2 is 1 Carbon atom attached to 2 Oxygen atoms.

∙ 14y agoMolar mass of C = 12g
Molar mass of O2 = 2 * 16 = 32g
Molar mass of CO2 = 44 g
The ratio of the mass between oxygen atoms to carbon atoms is 32:12 = 8:3
O : C = 8 : 3

∙ 14y agoCarbon dioxide is CO2, which means in one molecule there are two oxygen atoms to every one carbon atom, a ratio of 1:2
Wiki User
∙ 13y agoThe formula shows the ratio of atoms. CO2 . It shows that for each atom of Carbon, there are 2 Oxygen atoms. So the ratio is 1:2.

∙ 14y agoin CO2, it's 2 oxygens to 1 carbon. Charge balance doesn't matter in covalent bonding since both nonmentals are negativley charged.

How many moles of carbon dioxide can be produced from 1.00 mole of ethane?
7/2O2+C2H6->2CO2+3H2O Mole ratio of C2H6:CO2=1:2 No.of mole of CO2=2mol
What is the ratio of atoms in carbon dixide?
A chemical formula shows the elements in the compound and the ratio of atoms. For example, the chemicals formula for carbon dioxide is CO2 . In the carbon dioxide, there are always two oxygen atoms to every one carbon atom.
How do you find stoichiometric air fuel ratio by volume for combustion of carbon monoxide in air?
The reaction is:2 CO + O2 = 2 CO2
The reactants in the process of photosynthesis are?
In this process the reactants are water (H2O) and carbon bi oxide (CO2), in the ratio of 1:1. You need the light energy (sunlight) to initiate the reaction.
Which symbols represents a molecule of carbon dioxide?
co2
What is the ratio of atoms in Co2?
C to O in the ratio 1 : 2.
What is the chemical ratio of CO2?
This compound is carbon dioxide; the ratio oxygen/carbon is 2.
The sample is not completely thermally decomposed in the procedure will the mole ratio of CaO To CO2 be too high or too low. explain?
The mole ratio of the sample will be too high. This is because the amount of CO2 will be lower than if the reaction went all the way and produced the proper amount of CO2.
What is the mass ratio of carbon to oxygen in CO2?
12 : 32 = 3 : 8
Is CO2 plus 6H2O a chemical or physical reaction?
CO2 reacts with H2O in one molar ratio forming the carbonic acid . one CO2 molecule can not react with 6 water molecules......
What is the mole ratio of air to methane gas in the cumbustion of methane?
If by "air" you mean oxygen, then the mole ratio can by found by balancing a reaction equation. CH4 + 202 -> CO2 + 2H2O The ratio is 1:2.
Does CO2 and SO2 have the same empirical formula?
No, Compounds with the same empirical formula have the same elements in the same ratio. SO2 and CO2 contain different elements. SO2 is a compound of sulfur and oxygen while CO2 is a compound of carbon and oxygen.
How many moles of carbon dioxide can be produced from 1.00 mole of ethane?
7/2O2+C2H6->2CO2+3H2O Mole ratio of C2H6:CO2=1:2 No.of mole of CO2=2mol
What is the ratio of atoms in carbon dixide?
A chemical formula shows the elements in the compound and the ratio of atoms. For example, the chemicals formula for carbon dioxide is CO2 . In the carbon dioxide, there are always two oxygen atoms to every one carbon atom.
Why isn't the chemical symbol for sodium chloride NaCl but not like Co2 with a 2 at the back?
Chemical formulas are the ratio of parts in a compound or molecule. NaCl does not have a subscript 2 because the ratio is 1:1, whereas carbon dioxide has a ratio of 1:2.
What is the percent CO2 in sodium bicarbonate?
Sodium Bicarbonate come from absorption of CO2 into NaOH Total reaction is 2NaOH + CO2 -> NaHCO3 + H2O Each mole of NaHCO3 come from absorption of 1 mole CO2 Molecular weight of NaHCO3 is 84 g/mol and CO2 is 44 g/mol It is that 84 g of NaHCO3 had 44 g of CO2 By weight ratio it is 52% CO2 in Sodium Bicarbonate.
If 100.0g C3H8 is burned completely how many grams CO2 would be produced if the only source of carbon is C3H8?
The reaction isC3H8 + 5O2 ----> 3CO2 + 4H2O100g of propane is approx 2.27 moles.From the equation above, we see that the ratio of C3H8 to CO2 is 1:3, therefore the number of moles of CO2 which form is approx 6.82.This relates to a mass of 300g of CO2
